I can see another side to all of this. You tell the IT guys that you need a calendar that the iPhone can connect to. They don't comply. Your choices are to not have one or do it yourself. I have chose do it yourself a lot.
I guess what I am saying is that maybe if IT were more receptive / accommodating to requests from their users then they would have less of a problem with people bringing in their own servers.
I disagree. You pay 400 for a product that should work properly. I am still pissed my xbox doesn't read the games. Yeah you can live with little kinks but any gamer knows how freaking annoying it is to have a box that crashes all of the time. You pay for it expecting to be able to play the games, if you can't because it keeps crashing then what have you paid for??? Microsoft should have never shipped a diffective product (I say as if that isn't knew to them) and I think everyone who has bought one should sue so that Microsoft won't want to do it again.
That's what I'm screaming. So they refund the cd and do nothing about the rootkit? They should get everyones computer cleaned up instead of giving out cds!
If microsoft enters a market of existing software then there isn't a monopoly and thus of course the prices will go down. So yeah let anyone enter and compete prices will go down.

A bunch of us quit using IE and They made changes. If we keep it up who knows what will happen.
PS I am glad they are bundling IE with vista... how else would I be able to download firefox.
Who said anything about Active X? They said they will be making a WMP Plugin.
I downloaded and installed the vista beta.
I couldn't tell what it had that xp doesn't except for look upgrades. It isn't worth buying it if that is all it has to it.
I probably wont buy it.
