You're expecting a "service desk" to do root cause analysis, when their chief qualification is that they'll work for $10 an hour? What planet do you work on? First rule of IT service desks - unless you want your computer reimaged, do not call the IT service desk.
You know, nobody bought Vista anyways, and if this new debacle isn't proof enough, maybe its time for MS to let "legacy" compatibility go the way of the dodo.
How about "Play games on your xbox. Don't buy or install the suckfest that is Vista or 7. Don't have to reregister with MS every time you change your motherboard."
How many times per hour do you need to convert currency, or check what today's date is? If that's your business, then you're using the wrong tool. If it's NOT your business, then the widgets are just masturbation.
Sounds like Win7 comes in a nice, tidy 3rd place to Ubuntu Netbook Remix or OSX. Given that you're not going to be whipping up a visio diagram or some other MS-locked-in application, why go MS on a Netbook ?

"a recent survey by American Airlines and HP"....
I bet "a recent survey by American Airlines and Pizza Hut" would have come to the opposite conclusion.

They really needed that TV show to not suck, to keep interest in the movie high. As it is, the general reaction is "Meh, no Ahnold."
Video and voice offer little or no benefit over text chat.

So - when you need to change functionality, you simply stick a new cartridge in your PC? My how far we've come.

Let me guess, your Mac Quadra running OS8 can outperform it, while doing a simple file copy/paste ?
ARM doesn't matter. When the chipset, screen and SSD chew more power than the CPU, the CPU is the least of your worries.
Since x86 code runs on lpia, what is there to claim that they "support" ?
"some forensic software" = the 'file' command
How are you other than -1, Retarded ?
You never go full retard.
This guy is like another Quayle.
And this is news?
Clearly this is a product of Western materialism. However, Al Gore will stop at nothing to demonstrate our danger:

Can they make a Dell laptop where its baby pink for 3 weeks, then blood red for the fourth? I think that would sell well with the ladies.
so that they virtually rape, pillage and squander resources instead of doing it solely in meatspace.
Seems like the office supplies, the inventory of their soda machine, and the desk chairs might the most valuable assets the company has. DIAF, SCO.
If you knew anything about the Mini9, you'd know that everything on it is supported OUT OF THE BOX with 10.5.6.
Classic Slashdot - the OP gets marked -1, Flamebait, while this gets marked +4, Insightful.

WoW is still relevant?
I'm far more interested into the baby-poop brown theme, ajaxy looking widgets, and the inability to see the # of posts on the front page.
How is this an improvement ?
