And thus if you rely on credit you have to modify your behaviour to survive so as to "please" the authorities. One more reason for us all to be permanently in debt.
I'm going to swear in this post for the first time ever ( on slashdot). Activesync is the single most piece of twat shudderingly bellend dripping piece of cock cheese software ever devised to tax the minds of men. No excuses, wasted years of my life on various devices due to this and its arcane error messages.
How about better control over power use. For how long does the WIFI need to be on, and also the Bluetooth. Rather than forcing people to turn on and off various radios (which is unrealistic) design software that can be a little bit more intuitive. I'm so shocked in this modern age how little software learns from how the operator uses the technology. If every day I turn on my phone at lunchtime to check my email, surely the system should be able to learn this (and other patterns) and pre-empt my needs saving power and the need to leave connected power drains. Also, in the end all we are doing is changing information and transmitting it. Of course to transmit requires energy, but information itself has no weight and requires zero energy. So 100% of energy used processing information is due to inefficiency (resistance,leakage) and could be eliminated. When I lived powered by photovoltaics for 10 years, the 1st thing I learnt was to buy extremely low power tech and restrict usage, rather than increase battery size.
I ran Windows ME for 5 years without ever re-installing and it was still going strong when I hopped to XP. I actually found the 20G hard drive with it on last year, popped it in a new AMD dual core system and it booted and ran !!!
Admittedly I had always used utilities like CCleaner and defragged religiously but tbh I never had the dreaded ME problems. Vista however was overwritten with XP within 2 weeks. Loving W7 but i think the Beta was better than the RC for me.
Also if you want to sync EMAIL with a PDA/smartphone, it has to be outlook and activesync, "Missing sync" just doesn't cut the mustard. I too use ACAD. I thought about iphone/mac combo and XP in Bootcamp for ACAD but the iphone doesn't have a stylus and I need handwritten notes aka "phatnotes". So in the end I'm stuck with windows. Happy with Windows 7 however after the misery of Vista forcing me back to XP.

Very happy with XP MCE for 3 years now. I didn't like the Vista one due to codec issues. Very robust. Sometimes forgets my "favorite" channels though.
Assembly was a luxury in the old days. I seriously remember writing in hex to memory, referring to the assembly code in a reference book.
Nice car analogy, but the cars are being used, whereas the bombs aren't.

I was going to say the same thing but I was going to be a little bit funnier.
I find it hard to choose
Trust me, it's a revelation. Smooth entry, smooth exit but people need to be educated on which lane to be in on approach.
Loving that change of heart as you type away.
Fucking brilliant
Totally agree, I wouldn't build a house without foundations either.
Face it peeps, only Linux or Windows are man enough.
calm down calm down la
Already there, very tasty bit of kit and I can use my stylus for on site design revisions unlike any other platform.
I for one think that regular incremental releases are the way forward, like OSX.

Exactly how my bank works.
My Bank lets me log-in normally but I have to use SMS authentication for EVERY transaction while logged on.
Do I detect sour grapes.

It's quite funny really, the article seems to be slamming MS yet we all know on ALL OS's it makes much more sense to do a clean install.
Who let the politician in?
