They should delete all the shortcuts to IE too. I always ran the MS spyware scanner on all the eng. lab computers at school that I used and every one had some IE installed spyware.
That's because fixes aren't sensational enough. Every news site jumps at the chance to say "Firefox security hole!!!!" or "Apple widgets insecure!!!!" but they seem to forget to post about the fix which is usually pretty soon after the flaw is found.
How do high definition screens help me crash my car less? What's the point of a high def screen in a car anyways? So you can jerk it to HD porn while you're driving? That would probably cause more crashes.
You shouldn't be too surprised about this. It does say you will need to purchase QT7 Pro again in the agreement and it's right at the top so you can see it.
"1) Apple only announced the April 29th launch date publicly on April 12, 2005. That's critical in asking "Why only now?" -- there was nothing imminent prior to that."
Well, Tiger has been plastered all over the Mac OSX section of Apple's website since at least WWDC 2004 if not earlier. Also, seeing how Apple has always used the code name alongside it's marketing of OS X since it's debut, I don't believe that claim one bit.
I don't think that MS licensed anything from Apple. Otherwise Apple would be getting a lot of money in royalties. From what I remember from Pirates of Silicon Valley(biased yes, but still based on facts) MS had a contract with Apple to develop software for the Mac. The contract stated that MS could use some of Apple's code or something for other purposes than just developing said software.
Apparantly Jobs didn't look over the contract very well and got screwed by Bill since Bill had this stipulation in the contract.
All those are user unfriendly with the exception of Firefox of course and gdesklets et all as I don't know what those are and how easy they are to use.

"Cisco's ONS 15454 MSPP enables the carrier to converge its legacy voice and data services and a new pay-TV service into a single platform, and at the same time offer Layer 2 and 3 IP services using Resilient Packet Ring (RPR)-ready ML Series line cards. The network enables HKBN to deliver up to 200 digital pay-TV channels via MPEG-2 at 4.5 Mbps to 10 Mbps with DVD visual quality. Its service also features interactive pay-TV elements and enables PC or TV connection with the aid of a set-top box."
I think the idea is that it makes it a lot faster within the network, while Internet speeds are still limited. Many asian countries have all the services within the network that they need so for the most part they can get really high speeds, above the backbone speed.
The bad thing with it is that it doesn't even delete stuff when you tell it to. Your deleted emails remain in the file even after you tell Outlook to delete them forever.
I know, I found that option and turned it off. I don't know what was wrong with it but it still didn't index. I just wanted it to index as fast as possible for the initial index but I couldn't get it to do anything.
I've used the Google search for finding PPT files that I need to study for an exam. I type in the topic of what I want to study and it finds the files. I don't have to remember which file contains which topic.
This helps a lot because for example on the topic of utilitarianism the ppt files are util1.ppt... util4.ppt and have stuff from different philosophers in them. Now I don't care what the name of the file is, I can just type in the philosopher's name and find what I want.
It's good because it's not slow as hell searching. The index is updated before you search so you know exactly where everything is. Windows search is slow as molasis in winter. With a pre indexed drive you type your search in and instantly you have your files.
I tried Copernic and found that it didn't even index at all. I had SETI Boinc running at lowest CPU priority and Copernic didn't have a setting to set the index priority any higher so it just sat there doing nothing.
Not my idea of a good application. So I gave up and installed the Google search. It may not be as feature rich as the Copernic one but it indexed my HD in only about 1.5 hrs.

Have you seen the specs required for Longhorn!
I may be missing something, but I don't even HAVE a ~/Library/Widget folder
Then there's the damn norton antivirus updater that asks you to reboot and still reboots when you click the X in the window. What a POS thing that is.
"They're orthogonal to each other..."
And to prove this I've taken the dot product of the basis vectors of the image matrices and they're all zero!
I hate that. I just end up force quitting installers like that after they're done installing. The programs still work fine too.
Sorry I already own it. Use it and I'll sue your ass!! :)

Uhh Apple doesn't make Entourage. MS does. It's their responsibility to make a Spotlight plugin to work with their apps.

Not to mention that MS has WAAAY more developers working on windows than Apple does working on OS X.
Actually Tiger is already on sale an shipping on the 29th of April. Some people already have it because 3rd party vendors shipped it early.
The point of who is coming out with it first is that all previous Mac and Windows OSs don't have those features they're talking about.
Steve does like to bash MS every chance he can get though, but I find it quite funny.

As all the other people replied, Apple paid to use ideas that Xerox did not want to use themselves. +5 insightful is a joke.

They can share 54 Mbit and have 946 Mbit left for themselves.
