I bet there won't be an iPod for me then tomorrow, with all those Windows-friendly video file formats listed up there.. Is Santa even in touch with realtity? I bet he uses Explorer 5.5SP2, too..
From the MSDN article: "Internet Explorer will attempt to block any window opened automatically from script, with the exception of createPopup()"..
Uhm, no really.. "exception of createPopup"?? And "will attempt"? That sounds like fun..
Anyway, if their popupkiller really works I can't wait to see the return of the "Welcome to my webpage!!!!!!" javascript alerts / confirms, but this time containing ads..
My upgrade-path just somehow did not include Windows. From Commodore 64 to Amiga to Apple, which seemed to make a lot of sense back then considering the way especially Amiga worked - stress on interface and usability. Please note: I didn't say Amiga ruled. It wasn't perfect. It just was more perfect than anything else back then. Also, I never was much of a gamer, so I guess that explains something as well.
Even though I am forced to work with Windows at the job, I just can't help smiling when I turn the Mac on at home. It's absolutely fun to work with. It's even fun to solve problems when they occur. And when I cannot solve a problem, I know there are helpful communities out there who share my enthusiasm for the platform and are more than willing to help, no questions asked. Compare that to the Windows world, where it usually is every man to himself.
Anyway, Windows never gets that smile on my face. The only expression Windows gets ony face is one of utter disbelief: how people can continue to use the products of a convicted monopolist, a company where quality and contents of products are dictated by the marketing department. A company that pretty much all the time lies to its customers - it would basically do and say anything to keep you as a customer. A company that innovates by aggressive takeovers, and manages to totally screw up the bought product while they're at it (got to love Frontpage). A company that is not afraid to use references to terrorism and nationalism to fight a competitor that they label is "free" without even understanding what that word means. That and its track record of bugs, security issues, and the malware and spyware that seem to thrive on it.
It's a strange in a way, though: I do not know how many times I cursed the Amiga back then when another bootloader virus had killed a set of floppy disks. I still loved it for all its faults.
