    No as the analog digital conversion applies both ways, so if your distortion of analog signal isn't extreme which it isn't in a mouse cable, there is no difference.

    Theoretically there is big difference between a DVI-D signal and a WGA signal, practically there is none.

    got the 8530w, I no ide of the difference, or it's durability but It does not breath quality. It's probably not to worst out there, maybe in top line.

    A fast glance at it here shows that keyboard isn't well fit, and I haven't been carrying it around, It's docked most of it's time. I would say for being a windows laptop, it's OK.

    But I'm used to Apple hardware, it does not come close.

    Not that OSX is that much better, but it's not that bad.

    Yeah, it sux doesn't it. I remember back when using MacOS8 I had all the functions windows had with it's multiple button mice on just one button mice. And I did prefer it that way.

    Multi-button mice are for gamers, and even there it does a poor job. With OSX the possibility to have contextual menu with one button only disappeared. Talk about development going backwards.

    Pff, as how can 2 buttons be better if 1 does the job.

    Actually it's the other way around.

    Windows incorporated ctr key as the cmd key because IBM PC's lacked a cmd key. They came later to it than any other platform out there. Now they have a windows key, which works as cmd key if on a mac. But they still have all functionality of the cmd key mapped to ctr key. Which is wrong from start. Back in the day ctr keys had dedicated use. You find it on a mac too, but the extra os shortcuts should be on the cmd key, or in windows case under the windows key.

    But as usual, when PC's inferior to other platforms they do nasty dirty tricks to provide same functionality. That is the history lesson for you.
    Amiga systems had their "A" key.

    your only the dude with the thumb in the middle of your hand, plus you have two left hands.

    Come over it, sure non of the 2 button mice in any os solves any problem that wasn't available on macos9 with one button. But be adviced, you have more functionality on the mac trackpad than on any trackpad of any other windos device maker out there. And yes it includes right click.

    Nope they aren't.

    A mac guy as I'm, still when buying a windos laptop, be sure what you want and need. My usual advice is, don't get anything cheaper than a mac. A good win laptop, costs the same as a mac laptop. And if you do, get a slightly cheaper pc laptop, be sure you've checked the hardware specs thoroughly. Don't look at what speed the cpu is labeled to, look at I/O speeds.

    Never the less, I would just pick up Windows and install it on the macbook. Not sure if right button click is supported under windows, but Apple ships the drivers so I guess it does support it. Just as it does on OSX. But I don't know that.

    I really hope the same wont happen again, but then most managers are not visionaries but money hungry, never have interests in the company real faith.

    Actually I find MS more attractive today than I ever did. But Balmer was there all the time with Bill so that is nothing different, same shit.

    But MS has done a few things right lately, I hope they can keep it up, we'll see. Though history teach us MS will screw it up even when they started of good.

    That point is made from the views in a patent ruled world. But it does not hold water. They will invent where they see a need to do so. True inventing will be less attractive, and go the same route as "open source" instead, which though is less efficient, lacks initial quality but has quantity which in time will catch up.

    That is not a patent problem that is the problem of a free market, which is the opposite of free competition.
