Judging by all the transparencies, gradients and drop shadows this will require an even more powerful computer than Vista. On the flip side probably every new version of windows has required a bit more than the last. The new taskbar reminds me a lot of the KDE taskbar.

Gez, you'd be living pretty decent in the midwest where our average income is $35,000 a year in a $175,000 house.
Wouldn't it be easier and cheaper for Microsoft to pull a Google Chrome and just use somebody else's rendering engine and scripting engine and just fire 75% of their employees that maintain IE? What revenue does IE actually bring MS? I say they create their own browser front-end, fire the IE team and focus on more on Windows which actually earns them money.
Facebook has an extensive privacy section, where you can create groups, place friends in those groups and then apply restrictions to those groups, i.e this group can't view any of my pictures. You can also, and should, turn off all access to your profile to people you are not friends with.
I'm sure you have used facebook, perhaps you just haven't used it enough to find this out.
I'm just going to ignore most of what you said, and say thanks for complimenting my web design skills. I use the Al Gore quote because it hits close to home since I do websites on a daily basis. I don't own a blackberry but would probably use that if I did.
PS web designers could care less about copy, it's just gradients and drop shadows for us.
This could be totally unrelated to this exploit but
I devised a way to do something like this in the past where I'd use javascript to check whether a link on a page has been visited by the user or not based on what color it was. Given a huge list of websites, you could weed out what sites a user has visited and what sites they haven't by dynamically adding them to the page, then looping through the links using javascript. It could then potentially be written to a log file with the users IP.
There's really no reason to buy a old movie on the blu-ray format when you can get it on DVD. The image quality can only be improved so much before you have to obey the garbage in, garbage out principles.
The problem is converting IE users to something other than IE (or even IE6 for that matter, god help us all) For the time being I think this browser will only cannibalize Firefox's market share simply because the type of users that will download and use Chrome will be techies.

JavaScript itself isn't bad, just like CSS isn't bad. It's certain browsers, lets call it Explorer... no wait lets call it Internet...that do not fully implement the specifications of the given tools. This slows done the usefulness of new features because a small percentage of users use "Internet"(Explorer).
That's fine and dandy, until slashdot can't afford to host this site anymore because of $0 in ad revenue. Other than subscriptions, the web is fueled by advertising.
I like to buy a lot of old movies. The problem with blu-ray or really any new format is that these movies are (i believe) going to look and sound the same on DVD as they will on blu-ray.
My reasoning is the movie was digitally corrected from it's source file to the dvd. How can they make a crappy source file converted to digital any better than it currently is?
Garbage in, Garbage out?
Besides we all know Song is evil with their proprietary formats.
I would suggest looking back at Apple in the late 80's and early 90's when they were Jobs-less before. Then fast forward to when Jobs returned in the late 90's. It's quite obvious that when Jobs was gone, Apple sucked and when Jobs was there, the company was doing better.
The whole argument "that the employees make the company" only goes so far until the employees have a crappy idea with a crappy leader to promote the crappy idea. I personally don't like apple but I think they are better off WITH Jobs in charge.

what the heck did you just say?
a space odyssey last night. I hope HAL isn't the driver of the craft.
I find the game to be a lot of fun. I'll let you guys argue while I play and enjoy myself.

Why not serve your content as application/xhtml+xml and use xhtml. Your browser will choke if it incurs any validation errors.
And yes IE will properly render xhtml with a little work - http://www.nealgrosskopf.com/tech/thread.asp?pid=1
I vote that they call it Windows 2010. Sort of has a HAL(AKA UAC) feeling to it.

Or why not windows 9. The consumer doesn't care about kernels anyways. 3 Win 3 4 Win 95 5 Win 98 6 Win ME 7 Win XP 8 Vista 9 Win 7

I never thought of it that. How have other operating systems progressed in those same 8 years?

Exactly, what kind of artard would let the world trade center be destroyed and do nothing about it. How quickly America forgot about the 9/11 attacks.

Lol, I guess that's to be expected when YOU BAN GUNS!

I used this same logic in school when it came to test taking. That is anybody can cheat, just not everybody takes advantage of it.

Now we just need Governor Arnold to place his hand on that weird control panel to melt all of that martian ice and give the planet an atmosphere.
Uh hello Office Space? You don't belong on slashdot if you don't get a reference to that movie.
