i should probaly explain the reasons why a bit better:/
the programmers of the first GOOD ui will be linux users because they choose power over usability and this will not be very usable till some programmers want to use it on their own systems, as anyone else programing it will be copying and pasting basic ideas from mouse and touchscreen controls and making a (very) awkward mouse mixed with a less accurate touch screen
then quickly after that apple and smart phones would copy what when well, then windows(doesn't have apples lvl of control or linux willingness to try new things) but not because of asus because how much buzz kinect has made
BUT if they lock it up asus few piece of supported programs using it will not be worth the cost of it, and the buzz from kinect will slowly die and it will take a long time before someone makes a nice ui that doesnt come from asus
1) they lock it up, so linux doesnt get it easily, i.e. most of programers hate the thing, its stays costly and without mircosofts ad budget falls flat
2)they leave it open and its awesome, tho only linux users will have a descent ui for a while followed by smart phones then macs after a few months; then windows gets it and some knock off brand makes it super cheap but then the asus will have the high quality high cost ones and get rich still and they airnt hated by everyone
they may try locking up the (cheaper) pc compatible version tho no big software comp. has started messing with the kinect for pc yet so no software to break; i.e. no extra reason to not lock it up
or what chrome os is doing and sandboxing everything; but yeah windows really needs to up their game as their user base is the overly trusting crowd, i think not letting any 3rd party program startup on its own is a start w/o alot of flaming hoops to jump tho first would be a start
boredom, political contempt, or if ur attacking wikileaks 'anti-terrorism' or that one virus that put some 3rd world country nuke program back 2 years, but thats a bit of a special case
no he said the ui is consistent when it changes everything everytime, at lest with linux gnome menus will still be remotely the same as other gnome menus
ummm right they change it consently; 2000 to xp to 7(didnt touch vista) the way u change any setting was moved to a different submenu,
and when did it ever make sense? where are the controls to choose which programs can start on log in? the per-app volume balancing? why cant i make some windows stay on top? or transparent? and what stuff do they give me instead? 'gadgets'? automatic updates that like to restart my computer? simi-transparent title bars that are blurry(srsly y?) that u cant have on clear transparent? how does it make much sense either?
the only good things u can say about windows is what other people have done to it
where is this? the max here is 8 advertised and they wont even say the up stream, and then they over sell their network and i dont get 1/2 that speed even at 3 am
no tv destroys brains, video games short attention spans tv destroys brains because its passive not because its electronic (schools are also passive and therefor unbearably boring to people who are used to active edutainment is the real cause for any of the common misconsepsoin)
but if everyone drives small cars its as safe as everyone driving big cars, so it works like "if everyone else is doing it its ok of i do it" mentality where its only going to stop if people get more responsible (lol) or the government stops it
only +3? tho i do have to disagree with the reason
sense when do corps. look ahead? they are always looking for profits within a few months not years, such as when isp`s try to hold out as long as they can to upgrade their network, or riaa fights new tech or sues people to till thier grandchildrens life in debt.
it could be in our dog eat dog world we have alot of bleeding out dogs who are to weak to eat the others and are slowly dieing rather then it going towards one really fat dog, but im not to sure:/
but those make some sense to rednecks and soccer moms, i think any big cars should require a different permit only for people with that many kids (suvs) or people who need it for their job(trucks) then they should lose their pivillages on the first volasoin
better to be safe then sorry, and even if one drop of totalitarian gets written in some small law(it will) its worth the small problem of having freedom on the internet, parents rising their kids and people having to learn to not trust everything
but its still a bit extreme think the law will result in some unstoppable censorship (as extreme as thinking the law wont have flaws that outweigh the cost of freedom, of course its not their freedom the older generations are trading for 'safety', so they could just be shortsighted)
it is; its like a drinking game while diving and first one to od or crash* wins(or if everyone gives up/ arrested the person with highest blood alcohol wins)

how is stocks any different from money, as in they are only worth as much as people think they are
i see this going two ways
1) they lock it up, so linux doesnt get it easily, i.e. most of programers hate the thing, its stays costly and without mircosofts ad budget falls flat
2)they leave it open and its awesome, tho only linux users will have a descent ui for a while followed by smart phones then macs after a few months; then windows gets it and some knock off brand makes it super cheap but then the asus will have the high quality high cost ones and get rich still and they airnt hated by everyone
they may try locking up the (cheaper) pc compatible version tho
no big software comp. has started messing with the kinect for pc yet so no software to break; i.e. no extra reason to not lock it up
and considering xbox wireless cards are 50+ dollars and pc some where in 20s(15 if ur lucky)
100 dollars seems like it will be a high estimate
please dont get into the spam bis my parents may fall for that .__.

has UI design that is consistent and makes sense
ummm right they change it consently; 2000 to xp to 7(didnt touch vista) the way u change any setting was moved to a different submenu,

sadly i agree :/
c)(assuming that they have some safety features) crashes with the average size car wont be fetal
what about them triangle hard drives with 3 corners?
i think u mean plans to get around to installing linux
where is this? the max here is 8 advertised and they wont even say the up stream, and then they over sell their network and i dont get 1/2 that speed even at 3 am

u argued how to minimize cheating not that stopping cheating is just a 'band aid' on the problem with the system

no u were 2nd

the gwiz should be much safer after suv`s are gone
no its "ANY gov`t regulation will inevitably lead to" a huge team of lawyers abuse the law
must of came off a little media-fear-spreading-ly
