If you can't remove bloody MSN IM, it's cuz you haven't even tried to look at the options!!!
In there, you'll find a little check box that says something like "Stat with Windows" or something. KILL IT. And MSN IM won't start again. Now, maybe this is just too hard compared to editing some text file somewhere, but I think it's pretty intuitive.
Don't complain about the Sys Reqs for XP. Just check out OS X, which most poeple here support as the "great project", combining Mach and Closed source. Guess what: that requires 128MB Ram too! And it doesn't include even close to as many features as XP does.
Well, my Cassio craps out after about 7 hours of USE. And Lithium ions recharge pretty fast... So it's not as a bad as you think. There is always a trade off: batt life for power.
They already have both Linux and xBSD running on these things, so the new ones should be able to run these as well, if that's what you want, of course. But then you would also need to create some sort of handwriting recognition for Linux!:) So I suggest you start coding now...
May I ask why one would want to remove the reader?Considering it doesn't free one up any space. If you want, there is also nothing stoping you from downloading books in both HTML and TXT to read. Heck, you can even use RTF if you felt like it.
MS wound by buying Parasign (i think?, sp?) outright, so they integrated that recognition, which is really good. Also, some company ported the new handwriting recognition developed by NYU to CE. Should be available soon. It's a single stroke writing style, very interested, should be much faster than grafiti (Sp?).
Seeing how the Palm does great Wireless networking (802.11b) -- (yeah, right) and how great the Web capabilities are, I think one offers more than the other.
I thinks MS learned more than you think, this time around. It's their 3rd try, and so far, I've never heard the new PDAs crash. Perhaps the reviewers had the old the models with the new Firmware, which is why the crashed? Incidentally, I my cassio crashes as much as my Palms did. Maybe less, even. But it sure as heck does 100 times as much. Last I heard, the Palm couldn't play the Star Wars trailer on MPEG.:)
I just got ActiveSync 3.1 working great with my Cassio 105. And I think you can at least get the Maps working. I don't know about the rest, but the Media Player is already there...
hmm, I don't know about the "Fast" thing. I hate having to wait for my screen to redraw, even overclocked to 19Mhz... CE runs on 133Mhz nowadays, and though the OS may be VERY non-downscaled, the CPU and memory compensate for it. Just my take on things. Oh, and one more thing: i use the PALM upgrade and love it, I am just expressing wishes that they use a FASTER CHIP, damnit!
I am sorry, but I humbly disagree. IMHO, they got it right this time, by testing the most optimized HTTP server on each platform: APACHE for Linux and IIS for NT. That works great for me, since one would most likely not use APACHE on NT due to the lack of optomization vs the linux version. Just my 1c.
No, I am sorry to say that Linux STILL does not have any good conferencing applications. And if it did, in order to work with NM, those applications would have to support H.323 which even most windows apps don't. I really wish it were different... Danny.

Man oh man, I love the "Expert user testimony."

So what's this bitching all about?
Does this have anything to do with Outlook or MS sytems? I mean, this is a script! Just your batch file in the 21st century...
