I was going to buy a TZ7 to replace my Canon SD770IS as soon as I got back from my next trip. My wife's 3 or 4 year old TZ1 is better than my new Cannon.
It's shame that I won't be buying one now. Panasonic makes some of the best small cameras there are. Way better than you would expect from a non-traditional camera company.
More than one senior Army Officer has said that one of the the US Army's biggest problem is that they spend too much time preparing to fight the previous war.
"When is this Fahrenheit unit going to die? Last time I checked, only a couple of developing countries were using it (Birma, USA)."
You not only got the name wrong, you misspelled it.
The incorrect name is correctly spelled Burma, the correct name is Myanmar. Dictatorships have feelings too, you insensitive clod.
And, Myanmar doesn't actually use the Olde English/US system of units, they are merely one of two countries that haven't officially adopted the metric system. They do in fact use the metric system, as does Liberia, the other third world country that isn't officially metric.
The metric SI system, along with US Customary Units, is an official system of measurement in the US. Unfortunately, Bubba is slow to adapt so for everyday life the US is stuck with that pre-Imperial system of measurement that the Brits left us with.

Even Microsoft is jumping on the bandwagon: the next version of Windows is intended to do the same as the last version, Vista, but to run faster and use fewer resources. If so, it will be the first version of Windows that makes computers run faster than the previous version.
Without Vista, MS wouldn't be able to claim that 7 was faster than their previous version of Windows.
I wish I had mod points today, I would mod you insightful.
It can't be protected without having control of it.
The single best thing about the internet is that no one has full control of it. Had it been controlled by government or industry, it would be a miserable little shadow of what it is today.

Management gets the behavior that it rewards, not necessarily the behavior that it pretends to ask for
Wrong. I've seen pictures of them
Very close. The actual quote is
"Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
--George Santayana"
I liked the "study" misquote because it gave me an excuse to repeat my High School history teachers frequently used smart arsed remark.
I enjoyed seeing his the teachers go right over the 1st responders head even more.
"Those who don't study history are doomed to repeat it"
That's what my High School US History teacher used to say.
It would be a better world if the CPU manufacturers required Microsoft to meet certain standards.

"Prideful ignorance" would be a better description
Then there is no need to postpone going to 7. 7 is Vista SP2.
Why should that election be different than any other election?
"Vista was a market flop because it tried to do all sorts of things that Windows users were simply not ready for."
Oh, bullshit. It was a flop because users have seen it for the POS that it is.

Would you clarify that please. Do you men switch to or away from Windows?

I didn't way that you weren't useful.
For example, I forgot to say that technical editors are often humorless people that take everything literally.
Thank you for reminding me of that.
"Would love to save $$$ with OSS, but the software I need (robust, full-featured POS..."
With that requirement, it would be hard to beat Microsoft's offings.
"(I'm just extra annoyed since I've been a professional technical editor and rewriter for some years. "
It's only fair that you be extra annoyed. As a technical editor and rewriter for many years you have undoubtedly pissed off many people yourself.
"You could say the same thing about a Jaguar" describes the situation much better than the OP realized.
