Ok so when MS have a monopoly in browsers everyone hates them and the EU courts fine them on a regular basis.
Why can Apple package an OS with a browser and not get done for anti competitive behavour? If MS stop packaging IE with windows what would I download firefox with ?
Flash monopolises the interactive content part of that and its "bad" that there is more competition.
Why are we against one monoply and for another ? Why are "the people" backing the closed source solution ?
Personally I like Silverlight it does a lot more than flash does (but not everything that flash does), Moonlight is a great project and it is open source and it has MS as a backer so its going to be around for a while. Its driving Adobe and MS to support more platforms and inovate more than they have in a while which cant be anything but a good thing.
I also looked it up on the Britannica website but it told me it was premium content and that I needed to sign up to view it (or at least not get annoying popups all the time).
Which is another reason (IMO)) why Wikipedia should appear higher than Britannica.
The author acctually says that the increase in WOW''s share is probally not due to rising useage rather increase in GamerDNA registrations. He also said that GW has a higher than average users with GamerDNA.
so take it with a pince of salt.
It was quite interesting to me since I play WAR and was considering going back to WOW since the population is dwindling. Its intresting to see that it seems to be a bigger problem.
"In some cases, a redesign might lose some functionality that was previously available, but never used"
Like backwards compatiblity.
Gone from hardware which a good working ratio.
To none existant.
To software with a poor working ratio.
While I agree it is annoying when it effectivly chucks you back about 30 minutes I'm finding myself not worrying about dying at all.
ie light seed hovering in the distance I can : A: figure out how to get to it and back safely. B: hurl myself off the cliff knowing I'm going to be saved.
While A is always an option most of the time I can't be bothered. Elika must a "saved" me about 1000 times by now.
Thanks I wondered how I was going to afford that 42" telly and still go on holiday this year.
While it is very stupid to share the last 12 digits of your CC number there was new regulation which means that Visa and Mastercard should not accept a transaction which does not have either a PIN number entered for retail envionments or a CCV code for Mail order\internet transactions.
While I'm not saying it will not go through they wont have a leg to stand on if you want your money back.
It would finish up the bias slant on the article.
If Dell are going to support an older OS. Its going to cost them more, its fair enough to pass that cost on to the buyer who is creating the extra cost.
Remember a Dell sold today can have up to 5 years warranty thats past XP's end of support date and the prices for that support after go through the roof.
Bizzare how you seem to take flashes history in the same way.
Flash 1 had almost no impact, Flash 2 not a lot, Flash 3 was when it started to pick and and it was on flash 4 before it became even close to accepted.
Your Silverlight knowledge seems ify too.
There is Silverlight 1.0, 1.1 and now 2.0 so really its stage 3 already.
They have added the regional restrictions on the content that the article states.
A quick Search of "MacGyver CBS" shows quite a few 48+ minutes shows none of which will play for me in the UK.

In a Managed Process OS which adds a substantial overhead there are only 2 managed OS's that I can think of and both of them have less than 0.0001% of the Market.

Getting one million people to download something for free does not mean 1 million sales.
After a demo like that it likely to put a lot of people off buying it.

Doesn't sound like google they don't finnish anything half their products are still in beta!
I can tell you that 10/10 people will tell you if they prefer to eat rabbit or deer (regardless of if they can tell their shit appart).
We just live in a world where people prefer rabbit, and most people havent heard of deer appart from the hunters.
(Now I'll stop labouring this analogy before its tits fall off)
The complaint is for the use on OSX, and yet Apple basically did the same thing with iTunes\Safari updater.
Its all wrong no doubt but people in glass houses...

Windows 7 which there has only been a pre-beta release of. your signing off as copy of the last one.
Excuse me if I wait for a final or near final version before passing judgement.
I'll ignore it for the obvious hate post it is.

I'll bet TPB is one of the first on the list.

That sounds like very old stats, source ?
