Why Virtual PC? It beats VMWare Player and is the same price, i.e. free.
And some of us prefer IE to other browsers.
Lastly if XP and 2000 sucked at one point, but they were fixed, for free, then they shouldn't be included. OS X sucked and then you got charged for 10.1, bitch about that.
Also how do you knock a free email service? What did any other free service do that was so much better. Same with Messenger, what does anyone else do that takes it out back behind the shed and beats it with a stick?
Works may suck but how many options were there for you if you didn't want to spend a ton of money on an office suite 10 years ago? Or even 5? Works and...? And oo.o wasn't really an option unless you had high speed, or wanted to spend $40 on a cd version of free software. Plus you had to go to compusa or some other store full of untrained morons who either don't know what you're looking for or spend the whole time trying to talk you into ms office (quick rant, I went into a compusa to buy a tv, pre massive shutdown, and I had to tell the guy 5 times I didn't want the extended warranty, I finally had to tell him that if he didn't shut the fuck up I was going to spend the extra $50 for the same tv at a different store, and it was the compusa I used to work at). Same goes for staroffice.
Of course you're dead on about Zune and play for sure, what a fucking cockup. It could've been good, but no they had to require seperate software. Why the hell can't you just use WMP? And even if you could use WMP I'm sure they wouldn't have let you use playforsure sites. It's just retarded.
The playingfield still isn't level. Health insurance companies have more money than God, they don't need google's help to remind us sheep that "we need them".
I bet more people are using Vista than Linux. If you remove all servers (personal included) and only count desktop installs I bet linux has a smaller install base than windows 95.
That site, on its own, looks identical to keepvid. And the plugin is identical to the one available on keepvid. And keepvid's web address is a whole lot easier to remember.
Either way they both suck comapared to vixy, since it will even convert the file for you. No more crappy flv players, or installing bloated codec packs just because they support flv.
It doesn't need flash. Youtube just launched their mobile version and it streams rstp (or some other acronym). Windows mobile phones do not support this by default, neither will apple (probably) and I don't believe palm does either. But with this it doesn't matter for apple. And since palm is dying that doesn't matter either. But with WM a growing segment of the overall cell phone market this could be a direct attack against MS by Google. You can get a workaround for wm, but how many non-techies will just use it as a con against the entire platform?
But since Google and Apple have such an unearned good guy image no one is bothering to question the anti-competative elements of this. Even though both companies like to slug it out with MS and Apple does have a Googler on their board. If MS did this the lawsuit would be filed the day after the phone came out, or Google would just whine to the DOJ like they're doing in the case of desktop search.

http://vixy.net/ is better (it converts it for you too). That site looks like a http://keepvid.com/ ripoff

Don't paint us all with the prude brush.
