You forget. The Longhorn release date is set.. What is that, May, 2006? And they will go out whether it works, or NOT!!!!!! It has been decreed from on high.
Don't know if you can trust this Service Pack but can you trust one from MS? Who knows, this Service Pack might actually fix something instead of breaking things.
Why this response got a 4 score and Interesting is beyond me. This is MAJOR TROLL. The original message says "for my personal preference". The original poster is talking about how he hears the difference, NOT the technical difference in encoding a waveform. WHO CARES about how the music is encoded if the listener finds one version better to LISTEN TO than another.
I read responses like this all the time and it is all a MAJOR PILE.... No one cares how an audio stream is encoded. All they care about is how the decoding sounds in the end.

I wonder if there's any way microsoft could be convinced to program Windows update in a way that it could be accessed by other (standards compliant) browsers.
I'm sure they would, as soon as other browsers supported Active X.
There can only be two reasons why this type of activity continues to happen with MS:
1) They are trying to eliminate competition whenever possible.
2) Their software engineers are so inept that they don't know how to create a library with a couple of routines to handle "default" browser functionality and can be used by the ENTIRE system.
The problem is that MS is a "monopoly" as declared by the courts; Apple is not. MS has an injunction which states they cannot do what they did; Apple does not. They are both proprietary solutions but the big difference is that MS, as a monopoly, is eliminating competition; Apple, as a small piece in the world, does not.
Reading this response prompted me to ask the following question:
I was watching a show on Discover about the creation of this Rover and it's twin. Everyone was handling things carefully and in a "clean room" environment. My question is, why do they do this when the environment on Mars is full of dust, dirt, temperature variations, etc. that are not tested for on Earth? It seems that if a part is going to break or have problems with dust and dirt, shouldn't it be found out on Earth rather than on Mars?
I guess that means iTunes has won since it uses an industry standard, AAC, as an encoder rather than the proprietary WMA (or is there a WMA Forum that I am missing?).

It all makes sense..
Any Hardcore gamer should be looking at an XBox or PS2.

This is MS trying to fight the Open Source tidal wave it sees crashing in on Windows.
I look at this screen and can't help think of early versions of the Matrix. That was probably the first iteration of Neo.
When I look at the old OS9 GUI, I think of a two year old coloring vs real art.
Ah, that would be "custom", not "customer" configured computer. CUSTOM does not equal CUSTOMER. At least no in English.

Who's phone system did your company buy?
"Inconceivable!"
It is actually, "you're a poet and you don't know it."
Without the saturation of radio, there would be very few stars that anyone would know.
That no one saw!!!
But, why is it that my "due process" lasts days while MS lasts years?
User: What? I don't know that! Just transfer my damn data!
It's more like:

You mean that old "standard"?
It's call "violation of a court order"

Or is that Charles Schulz' Beagle (i.e. Snoopy)?

WMP is availale for OS X but it lacks the DRM logic to be usable on that OS.

Isn't that SP3 for 2000 and XP?
