It says right in the article that DX10 supports the new Vista driver model (which has user mode execution etc.) Porting it to XP would means having support XP's driver model as well.
Supporting two different driver model means more complexity and less things added to DX10 in the same timeframe.
If you are ask employee then help your company fix any issues by providing feedback to the developers. Criticizing your own company in a public forum is not the right approach. Modern search engines are not just driven by the websites that are indexed but a huge chunk of the search results is feedback driven. Everytime you search on google/msn and you click on the third clink instead of the first you are providing feedback to google/msn that link 3 is better than link 1 so it should move up in the results. Everytime you repeat a search with additional words in your query because the first query didn't come up with good results you are inadverently providing feedback to MSN that the first query should implicitly stuff additional keywords.
The more you use your search engine the better it will become.
There is hardly any difference anymore between the 3 major search engines. Personally some days I find yahoo is best, other days MSN has the best results...
Frankly I have never played Halo. But I am amazed that they have a full orchestra for a game. Halo 3 production these days doesn't seem any different from a big budget Hollywood production.
Multicast is not a cure-all for streaming. Its beneficial to the streaming servers but the indermediate routers still have to handle the load from end-users. So you can still end-up with network conjestion.
If the streaming servers can handle all the users request there will be a meltdown. If there is a meltdown then the streaming servers cannot handle the user requests.
Reminds me of the time when my mother & I were stuck in an elavator. We waited for several hours without any help. People who tried to use the lift didn't realize that there were two people stuck inside. I finally managed to pry the doors apart and we managed to get out.
Didn't think it was big event until I read this on Slashdot.
I develop software myself. I don't use MakeMeAdmin that you mention.
Instead I have sucessfully used Drop my rights.
And I have zero infections in last 14 years of computer usage.
Although I have had lots of fun infecting Virtual Machines with various virii and malwares.
With a huge percentage of the people being developers, these people need full control over their system. I don't see how they can even implement this scheme.
May be they can take the admin rights from their Managers computers.
I was able to configure a dell 6400 with the same apple like config for $920 (with a 15' monitor). Most probably, if I look deeper something cheaper might turn up.

Looks like you need go work a reporter for inq given your skills for coming up with conspiracy theories.;)

Sued by the same moneymonger who sued Sony.

Google makes it seem they have better results by plain lying about the result count.
For example:
http://www.google.com/search?q=wifstream+site:msd
Only MSN returns the correct count:
http://search.msn.com/results.aspx?q=wifstream+si
Yahoo has a poor duplication elimation algorithm thereby exagerating their results.

None of the modern search engines are meta tag based any longer.

For a company with what about 50000 worldwide employees?
Hmm.

Are other games doing this?

When I got my machine my homepage was Dell MSN Page
.. and the new Vista drivers went live on Windows Update yeterday.
I am not suprised it took him time until the drivers were available.

Most songs are 160 to 192kbps on Urge. Some of the comedy talks are 128kbps.

You can already do that using Live.com macros.
I use it to search for product reviews and excluding the pages that are meant to sell the products.

You may be right.
Oracle's "Unbreakable. Can't break it. Can't break in" ad tagline did bring in hoard of extra eyes examing its software.
Imagine if the 360 could connect to MCE, select a channel, and display it...or schedule a show to be recorded by the server while you continue gaming
The 360 already does that.
Several other sites like http://msnbc.com/ has been doing this for years.
Every site raves about the ease of Media Center setup.
This guys claim that it takes hours to install is pure bull crap.
A more simpler page is on http://search.live.com/
