This anecdote illstrates how the Office 2007 UI is better. Much of the feedback the Office got were for features that already existed. The discoverabilty of this kind of stuff is far better in Office 2007.
I attended the XNA Open House this evening. The first demo consisted of downloading a model from TurboSquid, adding it to a XNA Game project, writing about 15 lines of code... and boom -- there was a rendered ship that was lit, spining and was controlable by the 360 controller. Ridiculously easy.
The entry barrier has been lowered significant. I forsee alot people taking advantage of this platform.
Also, this isn't the final image; just a preview in honor of Spirit's 1000th sol. Another panorama picture will be released that includes the rover deck.
The price of being shareholder-owned is that you have to live up to shareholder expectations. And their expectations focus around % growth. Now it's really hard for Microsoft to grow any larger in its core markets...so they have to follow the money. Who's the one making money (and buzz) now? Google, of course, so that's where Microsoft is (forced) to follow if it wants to grow.
Straczynski's The Real Ghostbusters episodes come out?:) That was ABC's number one rated animated series at the time when he was on the staff. After the network tried to come in and change the show, Straczynski gave them the finger and quit. The show went downhill soon afterwards.
Good to hear that your experience is that extra memory fixes the speed problem. I suspected as much, since my desktop runs 2 VMs, and when they ran with 512MB each, it was dog slow, but at 1 GB each, things work pretty well. What are you running in Virtual PC? If its another Windows setup, how much memory do you give it?
I run W2k3 in VPC for testing web apps, using just the default setting (256mb). I have VS.NET 2003 install on that machine as well, but I don't recommend VS at 1024x768 for anything beyond a brief fix. I would suspect I'd need to bump up the memory allocation if I did.

Of course there were reports that some of the DNS servers were still running FreeBSD: http://www.windowsitpro.com/Windows/Article/Articl eID/22474/22474.html. But that was *3* years ago.
Back in July Dare Obasanjo noted on one of his blog posts that Google was hiring a bunch of people from the IE browser team and couple of Java guys from Sun.
One of my bus-mates has one, and it allows him to productive on the bus-ride into work. It's a convertable so he can work efficiently at the office, and in tablet mode, it takes up just the right amount of room.

My SD card has USB built-in:

This solution seems alot simpiler than Wi-Fi: no SSID/WEP/WPA/etc stuff to configure.
Funny, people are usually more impressed by my SD card than my new Nikon DSLR.

Not sure if this is any better, but at least Google has more bandwidth:

Microsoft doesn't natively support it, but it gave Windows the extensibility to access other filesystems.

The killer feature for me is to be able to sit on the couch(or the bus) and browse comfortably.
First thing I did is buy a 1GB stick from Crucial; makes all the difference. I use Outlook, Virtual PC, RSS Bandit with no problem.
Yeah, the resolution is a bummer, but would you really want a really high res on a screen so small?
Also check out his great series on running old games under Virtual PC.
