I think you have to take into consideration your personal email and your work email and how well the search function works. For example, my work email is neat and tidy. This is due to the lovely 60 day auto delete rule. Sure, I have a a personal folder, but I'd rather pull off my toenails than use the search function in Outlook. On the otherhand, I keep every last email (unless it's p0rn spam) in my gmail. If I need to find out something, I type in a few key words and presto chango I have mac and cheese.
Could it be that IE is part of the OS and therefore people tend to use what is there or more importantly what they're used too? Case in point. I've been trying to get my wife to switch to Firefox for over a year now. I've removed all the icons on her desktop, start menu, etc., but yet everytime she turns on her laptop and jumps on the net she finds her way to IE. I guess you can't teach and old dog new tricks.
Does Transmeta still exist? Based on the reasons given in the article, I'm sure Jobs didn't even think about them. Why would he? Something like less than 1% of PC users use Transmeta chips.
"* Note, the $36 version is just an empty box with an I.O.U. note attached."
You were very generous. I was thinking the $36.00 variety would simply be a brown paper bag with the words "SUKA" written inside. "SUCKER" being shorten'd to "SUKA" for cost saving purposes.
So they want us to pay $150.00 per month for a security patch? No thanks. The more I hear about Vista, the more I want to stay with XP. Heck, I'd revert back to 2000 if it wasn't for a support drop. Get a grip Microsoft.
Ah yes, the XBoX 360 will come if 36 different flavors ranging in cost from $36 bucks to a full $3600. This will be the test bed for the Windows Vesta launch. Microsoft if holding their fingers and hoping for a good lanuch. I'm not holding mine.

This is stupid. Why would I need this when I can just bring my iPod to work? Or, fire up iTunes when I'm at home.

"We want to share in those revenue streams."
Doesn't that statement just reinforce the greed?
