The real problem with ZD is that all they cover is MS stuff. I've quit reading PC magazine, because it isn't really about PCs, its about Windows and Office. Every month they cover the same shit : Window tips, Office tips. As it turns out most Windows and Office users don't read computer magazines.
Like it or not, there are a lot of websites that use Real exclusively. For example MLB. I love to listen to baseball games and now I can without using the flacky classic player. Plus this version is great: a single file, no installing required, no ads, and it is very fast. I have been cursing Real for the last two years, now they have earned a BJ, line up and lets get "Real"
It looks too bulky to be truly portable, and too small to a poweruser laptop replacement. In the end it will be just another toy that boys play with for a while, and then toss it. Really this could be useful, but with ut the right applications, and marketing its just another PC.
1. Complete clone of office -- No extra features or interface inhancements, just a complete copy. Give the office clone a name that confuses user so that they think that they are using MS Office-- call it "This is Office for Windows" 3. OEM deals with everone (including the Devil) 4. Once Clone office is installed, it can't be uninstalled (breaks Windows) 5. Release This is office for Windows on same day that ms release thier version. 6. accuse Microsoft of cloning the clone. 7.Prepare an army of Lawyers or sharks 8. Confuse everyone, so that one day Billy Boy finds himself using clone office. 9. Rewrite Revelations to include verses that tie using MS office to eternal pain and suffering. 10. If all else fails convice Bush that using MS office helps terrorist orginations.

Does anyone know if there is any planned support for
Neo Jukebox on OS X. Even a generic usb-ide driver would d0, if possible.

Don't worry, be hacker. A mod chip will ship the day before the actual ship date. Let the MS Clones follow; the rest of us know better.
