Does modular Windows actually mean I can take out the junk I don't want to use, like, ohhh, the Window ASPs, and replace them with something good, such as Linux?
Wait, I can do that already anyway.
Next thing we know, people are going to be walking into this store with other people's severed fingers to save a few hundred bucks off of their shopping bills.
I'll give you about a day after this subscription model comes out until someone utterly mirrors the whole damn site. It wouldn't be too hard to make a web crawler that consistently crawls through all of the GameSpot pages and mirrors them elsewhere. And then, ironically, the mirror could charge another subscription fee, albeit a lot cheaper than actually using GameSpot:-) Or they could take out the ads and replace them with their own.
Buy a good cell phone and a year's worth of service. If you ever get lost, just call up your spouse...

Most of us hate Microsoft for their unfair domination of the OS market, so I say, they at least deserved to fail in one area.
Yeah, this computer is nice, but imagine what a Beowulf cluster of these could do ...
