it is really just a plot to keep my reverse-Hackintosh from coming to market. I cannot see how we will ever have an inexpensive, stand-alone Mac running Windows 8 (ie., free from Bootcamp, VMWare or Parallels) Well played, Microsoft.

He could have named his PacMan clone as DMCA-Man and then maybe even reversed it to spell ACMD-Man to not be so obvious.
Or perhaps changed a letter and called it ACME and put forward an original game idea about a wiley coyote who chases a roadrunner around a desert.
Maybe the next round of Net Neutrality will find Apple/AT&T at the front-of-the-line for all future Internet traffic -- assuming Apple can improve their storefronts, and that AT&T 3G infrastructure ever reaches the point of not being oversold.
You are forgetting the additional cost of taking that 26W TDP design, overclocking the Mac Mini a wee bit, and adding my personal cooling solution with a self-contained 74 watt fan.
Another ex-Beatle was in the news yesterday for misuse of his image by a US Fortune 500 company. Paul McCartney instead resorted to urging fans to boycott McDonalds for putting up the vegetarian activist's likeness in order to sell more hamburgers.
Is it a lemonade stand using someone's likeness with sales of $50 a year or a local restaurant grossing $5,000,000 a year? Will it be a documentary viewed by 50 or 5,000,000 people? Most everything here is based on degree - on who is hawking a product, and to what extent are they trying to use something for free in order to further their own profits.
Ten years ago I bought some shares of Microsoft stock shortly after the release of Windows 98 -- I'd buy him a gift with every penny he earned me as a shareholder since that day.
If you had just bought 36200 shares of MSFT stock back then for $999,844 plus a $362 commission, it would now be worth ONE MILLION DOLLARS today.
Protecting intellectual property is getting lower on my list every year as some $4B food conglomerate continues to trademark their Homemade(tm) brand French(tm) Vanilla ice cream with Chocolaty(tm) chips.
You must pay me $100 or your files will be forever encrypted by my nigh-unbreakable RSA code.
Meh, I just wiped my system of your virus and restored my important files from back-up.
Maybe it is a conspiracy from Seagate and Maxtor to sell those $99 external 500GB hard drives.
They are due for a new OS. With today's Patch Tuesday updates, Microsoft reached #99 and #100 updates for anybody running their latest Service Pack who does a new install.
And their March update also includes #99 and #100 for their Malicious Removal Tool, with the addition of Vundo and Virtumonde detection that runs with each and every WindowsUpdate download.
Right on schedule with their 3 year plan to break all computing records -- what else is there to do now, but start working on an OS that might reach 1000 exploits in record time.
Out of Massachusetts, it was the first affordable calculator. About once a month there might be one on Ebay.
It was also the name for an uber-geek... a geek's geek.
My first book on the os was called "Teach yourself Linux in 24 hours". I bought that in 1999. (or was it 98) It included Redhat 5.0 anyway.
If it was 1998 then you had "Learn Linux in 21 Days"... the next year they added three chapters and merely renamed it "Learn Linux in 24 Hours" (sold way more copies that way, since nobody wants to spend 3 weeks when you can do it in 1 day)
All you have to know about the difference between XP and Vista is that the business model for the latter will include a subscription-based version eventually. Microsoft has executives and marketing people who go to meetings where over-and-over again they ask, "How else can we provide less product for more money?"
It's not like they are wholesalers who buy 100 units of something for fifty bucks and then turn around and sell 100 units of something for eighty dollars at retail. Perhaps they will someday begin asking, "How can we provide more product for less money" and it will actually be to the benefit of both customers and shareholders (ie., those dozen people who own more than half the stock)
1980 -- When you couldn't win in the marketplace, you tried to win in the courts.
1990 -- Put out a cheaper version of what your competition has (even if stupid).
2000 -- $1000 spent on advertising and marketing is better than $1000 spent on R&D.
2006 -- Take it to the court system. $10,000 for lawyers is the best business ROI.
I checked first with the Microsoft Ministry of Trvth for an official position paper on the subject. I am now more confused than ever but I still remain an unmoved, unclean, unconverted unbeliever.
"4 out of 5 dentists surveyed, recommend sugarless gum for patients who chew gum"
really meant that 20% of dentists wanted you chewing the stuff that rots your teeth...
If you polled system utilities firms, I'm not sure whether they WANT you to buy Vista,
or run an old rotten O/S that turned AV from a cottage industry to a major profit center.

Almost as many times as a 30 minute infomercial for "hair product"
(which, by the way, there is no plural for the word 'PRODUCT' either)

Learn the computer.
In 20 easy minutes,

And be sure to drive a stake through the heart
just in case.

If that properly wedged-in computer still needed FOAM packaging when shipped from the factory, I don't trust the hardened claims one bit.
