    Not to mention, that the free to air channels (non cable) have 3 channels each (give or take) 1 HD and 2 SD.

    Channel 10 dedicates it HD to: sports... crappy sports
    Channel 9 dedicates it HD to: A woman focused channel, which is in reallity A re-runs channels that 90% of show are not in HD to begin with.
    Channel 7 dedicates it HD to: A re-runs channels that 90% of show are not in HD to begin with.
    Channel 2 dedicates it HD to: 24 hour News

    So you see none of the big shows in HD in Australia (excepting cable)

    And they they try to tell us they are 'fast tracking' shows from the U.S., which can mean a delay between, anything from 1 day to 6 weeks (usually towards the latter).

    The windows OS was largely similar from Windows 3.1 to Vista.

    What? Windows 1 to 3.11 (and NT 3 to 3.5) were 'similar'. Windows 95 to 7 were 'similar'.

    And if you think that 3.1 was similar to Vista, why didn't you start at Windows 3.0? They look exactly the same...

    That's why they created Windows CE, and that was a massive failure.

    Not quite a massive failure. Consumer wise, yes massive failure. At my warehouse we have more WinCE based devices that Standard windows computers.
