Vista was released January 2007, and soon after that you could not find a new PC off the shelf with XP. MS is ending support in 2014. So the last XP buyer will have had 7 years to replace his PC. Seems pretty reasonable to me.
Yes, I realize MS continued to offer XP for some time after Vista to enterprises who wanted to downgrade, but that didn't apply to retail customers.
a couple hundred files without freezing up for ten minutes while it calculates god knows what. I know, I'm an unreasonable bastard, expecting the worlds largest software maker to make an OS that can handle something as obscure as deleting files. And they've only had about 30 years to work on this.
But the pretty progress bar, well that's a serious step in the right direction.
by patent-troll-industry-friendly political appointees, a la the SEC, FCC, etc. Although the current system of relying on lay people seems seriously flawed.
I had a roommate who used to light up every night after work. One of the smartest and most driven people I've ever known. Never drank, either. Just liked a couple hits after work.
The A500 was my first computer with a mouse, and I'm almost positive I moused with my left hand, which the author says isn't possible due to the short cord on the mouse. I eventually evolved into a right handed mouser, but I'm almost positive I used the Amiga's in my left.
It's not just FDIC deposits, it's your IRA and 401K. Since hardly anyone gets a pension anymore, we're all pretty much forced to be investors if we ever want to retire. And these bastards are leeching off our investments and putting them at risk.
We already see this in distance events with chipped timing. Guy in front thinks he's won, but doesn't realize there's another guy who crossed the start 10 seconds after him who is actually beating him. I like the idea of a speaker in each starting block. Simple, and nobody gets an advantage.
By the standards of many third-world countries, I'm rich. But I can barely afford a new Honda, let alone a chauffeur. So no, billionaires won't be sacking their drivers en masse. But the executive knocking down 150 grand a year might buy a self-driving Lexus. And since he'll be able to do work in it while commuting, I expect there's a nice tax loophole coming soon to a congress near you.
So will we see our cities hollowed out even more, as suburbs closer to the core get abandoned? If your commute consists of listening to music, surfing the internet, reading, gaming, whatever, in the privacy and comfort of your own vehicle, will more people elect to do 1 to 2-hour commutes?
leaving the 90%+ of us who use wide-screen monitors a nice little gun slit through which to read our vertically-oriented documents. What's not to love?

He spent days websurfing? I've been doing that for years!
I'm willing to bet very, very many internets that Apple hasn't authorized any Mac OS running from this device.
Not.
Gonna.
Happen.

Just shoot me.

I used a Win8 tablet prototype a couple months ago, I find it hard to believe nobody has announced one yet.

...and you're a communist taking their FREEDOM! And try regulating pollutants in the air they breath....
I'm paying about 70 bucks for Comcast's slowest internet and basic-basic cable TV. Dropping TV would save me about 5 bucks. It's ridiculous.

that can home in on a laser, this might not turn out to be such a hot idea. Oh, wait....
I have the cheapest TV service they offer, I believe dropping it would knock 5 bucks off my $70 monthly bill. Yee-haw.
Comcast sucks, but DSL is worse, so I pay $70 a month for internet and very, very, basic cable. Viva la Free Market!!!
Massively irritates me too. I think we need a new term for this type of overblown pseudo-hipster-scientific corporate-ese.
My humble suggestion: douche-speak
...as I hate my phone. Yay consistency.
