Microsoft Begs Hardware Makers To Take Support Seriously
Banana ricotta pancakes writes "Microsoft has confirmed that there will be a widespread public beta of Windows 7 in early 2009, while urging device manufacturers to start immediate testing with its pre-beta release to avoid the widespread hardware compatibility problems that contributed so much to the negative perception of Vista. 'There is not another WinHEC planned before Windows 7 is released,' Microsoft has warned them. Better hope that testing goes well."

The Year of Linux on the Desktop
Microsoft is dying. Ubuntu confirms it.
Seriously folks. Microsoft is on it's way out. No one saw the fall of Rome, and people can't imagine a world without Microsoft, but Microsoft has failed to be an innovator for what? 15 years? That failure does not portend well for future existence. Like Compaq, Unisys, SCS, Wang, et al, Microsoft is loosing the war and will be gone within the decade. Mark my words.
Because we all know this is the Year Of The Linux Desktop.

Actually, Houdini pulled it off
...the lengths some people will go to for a laugh...
No. I merely think it'd be in their long-term best interest.
Copying files to and from a network was excruciatingly slow - how did that get past Microsoft's QA?
What QA?
That is been becoming more obvious every year. ;-)

So then... Linux = LCARS?
Sure the driver works, I just wish it wouldn't ask me to reboot afterwards...
Note: I'm not even joking here unfortunately
This QA, Q: Can we ship it now? It's still broken A: Hell yeah...we'll fix it in SP1 (throws chair)
Some browsers no support having more than one window open at a time. You might try to get one of those.
YAAC complainig that an unspecified piece of hardware doesn't work with an unspecified piece of software?
Of course he has filed a detailed bug report.
If it's not measurable, there's nothing to aim for and it'll forever just be a joke.
Crap, he's onto us guys! Everybody grab as many memes as you can carry and hop down to the bomb shelter!

"if someone has the commercial incentive to pay for such data collection, they already believe that the results will be useful to them commercially."
What, you mean that people aren't going to collect this data for free, out of some vague sense of goodwill towards the universe? I personally think that this task should be job #1 for Obama's civilian security forces.
+11 on the irony meter, dude. Respect.
You just don't get it, do you?
No I didn't know that. So I have to wait for Windows NT 8 for a working OS? (Same way I skipped-over M.e.)
