Dollars to donuts says the OEMs will repeat their "Win98 upgrade" coupon deal. At one point we had the option to purchase a "Windows 98 Upgrade Option" with DELL computers running Win95 in early 1998.
It also appears that Amazon is selling pre-releases. You can give the "anticipation of things to come" for Christmas instead of actual presents!
MS applications have always (at least in my experience) been inconsistent from one to the next, and from one version to the next. This is not a new thing.
And to take the analogy a step further: the major function controls appear and disappear based on what you are doing. If you have switched to the radio controls, the pedals, shift level/knob and steering wheel are no longer accessible without switching back to the drive-train controls. The window up/down controls are in yet another location that hides the drive-train controls when you roll the windows down.
In regards to the search engine actions, they need to just kick the polluters off. You lie about your item? Bye-bye account.
You're selling a sheet of stickers that are cut to fit a specific model of cell phone and fill your auction with enough to make it show up in dozens of different searches from military clothing to dental tools? Begone. Hopefully NEVER to return, as YOU are a cancer on the ailing organ that is EBay.
Shipping is great, ain't it? It DOES help point out the sleazy sellers. Ran across a "Buy it now" for a RAZR v3i for about $5 US. (This phone usually tops $200 before bidding closes.) I was excited and went to look at the details: $260 shipping.
The NRC report complains that the contractor dealt with Trilogy as a "business as usual" program, without regard to its importance to national security.
How interesting, that a contractor for whom "incompleteness, lack of follow-through, failure to optimize and missing documentation" is business as usual, should be able to gain ANY public-funds contracts REGARDLESS of the "national security" impact. Based on this assessment of SAIC's work for the FBI and characterization of their general lack of competence, it would seem that any dealing with SAIC by a public body should be scrutinized for appropraitions misuse at the very least.
It also states that the deadline for putting in your application to be a part of this simulation is one month AFTER the thing is over. The dates given in the article don't seem to be very trustworthy.
Considering that the release date for the "Windows Now Known As Vista" started out as mid to late 2003, it's not unlikely that OSX 10.5 will beat it out of the gate.
If you think people were pissed when the computer wouldn't let them get their CARS out of the garage, just wait until the computer won't let the PEOPLE out of the freezer because the restaraunt owner and the software vendor are mad at each other!
Can you get XP Home 64-bit? If he's not running a 64-bit OS, it seems rather pointless to have 32GB of memory. Like installing Windows 95 on a dual CPU PC.
Also note that DELL does not offer XP Home on their Precision line. The four available choices are: XP Pro, XP Pro 64-bit, Red Hat® Enterprise Linux WS v.4 (EM64T) and Windows VistaTM -capable.
Of course, since he's kind of the BMOC, he can install what he wants, but he'll have trouble trying to get help from "Steve" Nahasapeemapetilon due to his non-standard setup.
At least you GET the "broadband" wireless. Everytime Cingular arrives at their 3G rollout date, they push it back 2 more months and release yet another colored case for the "old" Razr so that people don't notice.
Good point. I'd like to contribute a thoughtful response in agreement to your statement, but I have to drive Sharkey 2.0 to her doctor's appointment right now.

Hmmm, I don't think it's Bill's "hat" that Vista is being pulled from.

Sounds great! At least if the wife is there, she won't be bitching at me for reading Slashdot.
Woo-hoo!! Mudslides for everyone!
Unless, of course, they somehow figure out that you had an electromagnet in the doorframe.
Even the dimmest cop might start wondering when he gets stuck to your doorframe by his belt-buckle.

Well said. On that note, will it even be possible to customize the Ribbons in 2007?

Too good to be true usually is.

IIRC, Dell had a battery recall in December 2005 for a different issue.

Posting from the WinTel world here: The color blue most certainly DOES NOT convey either a sense of well-being or security to us.
And don't underestimate the feelings of utter freedom and ecstasy that come with shitting in a cornfield.

IIRC, hitting the floor is more painful than the 220VAC jolt that knocked you off your chair/ladder/stool.

But what is "truth"? If you follow me.
