The customer is the entity purchasing the OS. So if you buy it in a box, it's the consumer. If it's an OEM purchasing the OS to put into a computer it's the OEM. It's both.
It sounds like it's still unlimited, as long as it's all coming from your phone.
Now I agree with you that they should call unlimited unlimited and shouldn't be able to call anything besides unlimited unlimited; this is just unlimited except for within certain limitations.
I think the reason is they're being objective. They are able to take themselves out of the picture and look at it in a way that might not benefit them the most personally.
Or they're being hopefull that it will apply to them someday.
I think where RIM and Palm missed their oportunities is because leadership thinks that consumers are more averse to change than what they really are. I can see where they get these ideas; any time Microsoft realeases a new interface it's really easy to find comments rated 5 on slashdot with people bragging about how they're not going to use the new interface, set the UI settings back to Win 95 settings and kind of wish they could roll back to Win 3.1. The people who yell and scream "anything but change" can be really loud. So in the design meetings the rules are: make something new, but don't change it too much because it will scare away our customer base. That's where competitors come in. People can accept a paradigm change when buying a new product. The value add must be greater than the "pain" of the change though. Besides, sometimes changes really do drive away customers, so it's safer to not risk a big change for the next version; and promise yourself that make the big bet changes next version.
Given that the previous Windows on ARM demo's didn't involve that I'd like to see your source on that. The previous demos showed a normal working desktop running the desktop apps.
I guess I meant from the point of view of a citizen who may or may not support him. Not from his point of view. So yes, I understand your point. Thank you.
1. Wastes 6GB of disk space on my laptop which often has 2GB or less free.
2. Who wants to keep running Windows for months accumulating Windows Crud?
3. My old Windows laptop would lose its wireless LAN every once in a while and had to be rebooted to recover.
I'll give you point 1, if you're on an SSD. Do you think clearing off some files might be worth the faster start up times?
I haven't experience point 2 in about a decade, so that might be something you're chosing to run on your Windows computers.
For point three, every once in a while means you should hibernate by default. If the problem is the device reset the device, not the whole computer.
There are precious few (useful) tools available to track down everything the system is doing.
That's because Process Monitor does all you need to do. There's no need for another tool beyond that one. The primary reason why are because so many applications start as part of start up (iTunes and Quicktime being the worst offenders). You can disable them using msconfig.
Windows 7 did make things better by causing application which run as part of start up to run as low priority, which as upset many developers who chose to run as part of startup to make their application "appear" to have a fast startup.
That's so strange that people aren't using hibernate. That's mostly all I ever do. I still know some people who think that hibernate will draw battery power and don't use it. I also notice that it's the default button in the Windows 7 start menu, when really hibernate should be the default. Perhaps if the UI explained it better that hibernate wouldn't draw any power more people would use it.
I never want a "fresh state", generally the only thing forcing me to lose my user session state is patch Tuesday.
Even if the Wii came out in 2006 it was under development for way longer than just 15 months. There had to have been some working prototypes in Nintendo by July 2005.
We don't manufacture anything in North America anymore because we have environmental regulations that cost billions of dollars to comply with;
I find it hard to believe that nothing is manufactured in North America anymore given that the US is the largest manufacturer in the world (http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_country_has_the_largest_manufacturing_industry_in_the_world).
There is that, but I was thinking of what happens when the central coordinating unit goes down, it might take a lot of the data with it. Have you ever had a SAN go down and take everything with it? If you store your backups on the same SAN, the backups are gone as well.
I hope that downloads from cnet.com plumment. I also hope that I can find other download sites for the few (about once or twice a year) things that I used them for.
Because it risks unseating the current big players. I remember reading an article about this, and how the current big players hated the idea of actually tracking what people were watching. The idea is that if you're forced to write down what you watch, and when, you'll probably only write down the big episode viewing. But if the TV is recording exactly how long you stay on a channel, all of a sudden previously un reported channel surfing gets reported, and the big players aren't so big any more.
I knew how Star Wars Episode III was going to end going into the movie (Darth Vader murders Anakin Skywalker), but it was still really exciting to watch for the first time.
So now we're going to turn cars into steam locomotives. While I do like not having to refuel my Thorium source, what about the water? If I can only go 100 km on one tanks worth of water, for get about it.
Is it Exchange, is it Lotus, is it Zimbra? Is Pulte emails system hosted? Is it in the cloud? What inbox limit does Pulte enforce? Do they have a SAN back end? are they on JBOD? What does Pulte calculate their per inbox cost is?
Why would a company create a system which brought down their system so easily?
If you're a small shop running your own Exchange server can be unneeded overhead too. A small would get a lot more ROI by having Office 365 host the email service.
One of those interviewed in the article complained about the fact that modern day programmers try to solve the problem through an IDE or debugger, instead of putting in statements which change the output of the program. They wanted printf debugging. While I do value a good tracing subsystem, I for one, am grateful for modern debuggers which let me view the state of the system without having to modify/redeploy the code.

I wonder if this will assist the children in gaining a proper sense of entitlement as they grow older.
Win8 ARM devices will run Metro apps only.
Given that the previous Windows on ARM demo's didn't involve that I'd like to see your source on that. The previous demos showed a normal working desktop running the desktop apps.
Metro doesn't give you ARM. The two aren't related.

If the TSA gets dismantled all of the rules that the TSA created need to go away too. If not, then there really isn't a point.
Starting the Vista (http://blogs.msdn.com/b/oldnewthing/archive/2011/08/17/10196425.aspx) auto start applications were given lower priority.

When that thing crashes somebody is going to be mad. I wonder how long restoring from backup is going to take.

Exchange and IIS are .Net. I know SQL server has a lot of .Net in it. The Visual Studio shell is WPF, and there's plenty of .Net in other places in VS.
