Already happening - my partner's work "VPN" software runs some serious client side javascript to check all updates are in place, that you have an active virus scanner and even does a rudimentary virus scan itself, then it boots a virtualised xp desktop.
Was a bit of a pain and all a bit pointless in our case as it's only scanning the virtual machine I am running- hence no privacy issues for us. I wouldn't be happy using that machine for anything confidential after they'd had their grubby hands on it.
Did you really just try and imply that MOTOROLA are making a product that is the equivalent of a Rolls or BMW? They have a long way to go with this product before anyone can even begin to claim that...
None of my friends who are "serious gamers" have any interest in this, it is a toy. It can't be used to control anything other other than specially designed minority interest novelty games, and can't be used without re-arranging your room and seriously pissing off your neighbours. It can't possibly be claimed to be a new input paradigm.
Well, I was being slightly facetious, here in the UK we have NICE for this purpose, which is on the verge of being scrapped as it's not "cost effective". Clearly an idiotic move as it is absolutely necessary.
Not sure what type of knee surgery you refer to, seems a bit odd to single it out as superfluous! Guess that's why it should be in the hands of experts!
To enable Bluetooth on one of these phones you literally have to tap through 3 levels of crap you don't need and about 9 clicks + the menu's are super redundant in naming. Is Bluetooth in connectivity, networking or wireless
Wow! Sounds like it really replicates the awesome W7 user experience!

But now the friends and family have finally been convinced to switch are you actually going to recommend they change back?
I would have, but it kept crashing.
Dell sold the project I work for XP machines with 4 GB of ram that couldn't be addressed at the time, was that an oversight as well?
Remember in 95/98 when inserting a slightly damaged disc would lock your comp for 4-5 mins while it tried to read the disc?
Congratulations, welcome to 2005.

Yeah, I've heard a lot of good things about the durability of the 360.

Was the Palm Tungsten a phone then?
Typical fucking American, freedom isn't being administered unless someone is being "shot in the face".
br. America - Fuck yeah!
Safety: To ensure it works properly afterwards make you use the /s switch!

But as I view Win7 devices as akin to strolling about town with an albatross around my neck, it ain't gonna ever happen.
Isn't that part of their marketing campaign? The phone for people who are ashamed to take their phone out in public?
You must work for apple.

Con and Dex are also important for real life situations, Charisma too if you want to Multi-class.
Death panels, you mean?
Seems appropriate since most of Sega's games have been shit for years, Vanquish was pretty awesome though
I do, and I have serious power management problems, shutting the lid usually leads to the machine hanging, real PITA.
Great, so why can't I plug a USB arcade joystick into it?
Obviously you don't use the Skype app! Kills the battery for some reason...
Nah, we just rooted you.
You're missing one out, want to buy my mono copy of Sgt Peppers on 1/4" tape?

Judging by the first post above (some idiot longing for the imaginary courier) they can still manipulate the market enough for now...
