The naming of that edition is ironic, since students can now get Office 2007 Ultimate edition for $59.95.
Important differences. Home and Student Edition is just a name for branding purposes, anybody can use it. And if you buy it at retail you can legally install it on up to three machines. The EDU version you link to is an academic edition, notice the "valid.edu email address required" part. Looks like they have dropped the restrictions on use that used to be common to academic licensing though. Oh and you do have to pay another $13 if you need the install media.
What is now the Home and Student Edition was just the Student Edition in Office 2003 and down, and required you to present the retailer with a valid student ID in order to buy it.
Sure, Adobe suite and some of Microsoft Office are ported, but some businesses
Full stop. This is about consumer grade stuff. No business is going to order a pre-crapwared laptop from Acer and use it with everything still on there. I know you tried hard to get your pro-Microsoft troll out there, but it's completely off topic.
If we're addressing consumers only, it becomes much easier:
Don't buy a Mac if you intend to play games... unless you are techy enough to dual-boot your Mac.
Of course not. MS Works isn't intended to compete with Microsoft Office, particularly now that Office 2007 made their old student edition available to all customers as the Home and Student Edition for $149.99.
Note: Home and Student Edition only includes Word, PowerPoint, and Excel. There is no Outlook, Access, etc...
The naming of that edition is ironic, since students can now get Office 2007 Ultimate edition for $59.95 / £38.95.
I would certainly hope netbooks wouldn't be saddled with Crapware, seeing as how they are the super-duper low-end computers that are intended for simple things like web and email only.
Wow, how did MS pay you to write that? When I talked about % ratings i was referring to IE's compliance in working with CSS (using the acid test)
What you thought you were referring to is irrelevant. What you said was that IE has never been more than 20% web compliant (which is false):
Just look at Internet Explorer, they have been working on it since 1994. 15 years later, we are still YET to receive a browser from Microsoft that is at least more than 20% web compliant.
yet 2 a (1) : up to now : so far --often used to imply the negative of a following infinitive
"since the other stores were all Microsoft's bitches and we won't pay for a WMA DRM license"
I thought the iTunes Music Stores predated Microsoft's Plays For Sure program.
Wikipedia seems to agree with me, as their iTunes history page states that iTunes Store support was added to iTunes in 2003, while Plays For Sure started in 2004.
Marathon 2 and Rise of the Triad came out around the same time, and both had in-game chat - remember that? Which came first is debatable - RotT technically was first, but only the Shareware part - the commercial release was after M2.
Wait, are we referring to voice chat? Because text chat existed back in Doom (I think it was even bound to T, just like in modern games).
I suggest you cancel your preorder, as Activision has stated they won't be adding support for dedicated servers.
Wait, you meant a game other than Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2? In that case: [citation needed], as I'm unaware of any other game that costs $60 USD or more for the PC version.
From what I've seen, unless you're on a Core i7, you're not getting the power savings.
The 17% power savings mentioned on page 3 of the article is primarily for the Intel Xeon 3500 and 5500 lines (the Nahalem processors), which shut off power to cores that aren't being actively used. The other linked articles go into this more in depth.

Who said he upgraded?
Things go considerably faster if you don't try to keep the old information and just quick format the drive.

Steve, this wouldn't happen if you'd just stop throwing chairs.
Stop whining and start WINEing.
Unlike the other replier here, I thought the video was great. :D
That's the same combination I have on my egaggul!
Here.
Yes, that is a Microsoft site. No, it doesn't sell anything other than Microsoft products.
Look at me still talking while there's science to do...
Stop being a dick.

Amusic Anecdote from the early 2000s:

Canadian friend: The same thing we do every night, Pinky: watch Bush try to take over the world!
One important note on the blogs search that you didn't mention: Blogger is owned by Google.
That one's easy: I don't use Google ads.
Wait, you're not counting viewing them are you? 'cause those aren't by choice*.
*I don't consider "install Ad Block Plus and an appropriate filter" a valid choice here, because I'm not specifically choosing to block Google ads.

Before this sale, the cheapest I'd seen World of Goo was when it was a Steam Weekend Deal for $5. Incidentally, that's when I bought it.
I skimmed your post and saw "pro-Microsoft," so I'm going to assume you're a (Apple... no wait, this is games) Sony fanboi and diss the PS3!

Maybe you should have worked on something more useful, like a machine to turn trash into power!
