I had Vista Home Premium up for a total of FOUR DAYS before I went back to XP Pro. Vista has a lot of warts, even compared to the initial rollout of WIN95/98, and XP.
That did a benchmark of the USB flavor of "ready whatever it is". Their tests showed almost NO benefit of the "feature". I would, as much as I hate to admit it, have to agree with Sony here.
I am running 1024*768, and the page sucks. If they can't even get a request for what is wrong done correctly - this may explain what they are doing wrong!
I have been building my own rigs for more than ten years, and I have KUBUNTU up on one of the boxes on my LAN. I have a stumbling block trying to understand the LINUX file system. It's like I download something like Firefox - and can't find where it went. I have been searching for a book that could walk me through everything, sort of like a translation of M$-speak to LINUX-speak.
Then, I would be more than happy to kiss Windoze g'Bye.
IIRC, the first of the inflatables were going to put the drinking / cleaning water in the walls of the station. Water, I think, does a pretty good job of blocking radiation, and the walls are a fine place to store it.
While this is a notable achievement... There are a lot of problems:
1) Areal density is improving exponentially - We should see 2.5TB drives in the next year or so. AND the form factor is moving to 2.5 inch drives to allow vendors to pack more into a physical array.
2) BPI density is growing incrementally. Even this new tape process will be behind (still) by the time it is available.
3) I have customers that have more than 100PB (Yes, PETA) of files on-line. Would you want to try to restore from tape?
4) DR / BC requirements are forcing remotely-mirrored strategies to be able to keep the business alive, in most cases I have seen, with hot-standby processing capability at the remote site.
Don't get me wrong - I think tape has a place in the world... As an archive media that will be in a mountain somewhere, "just in case"
M$ doen't want to compete for disc players with the maker of the Play Station... And owner of the standard for BD.
IIRC, Blue-Ray media will be something like U.S. $23 per disc WHOLESALE, where as the HD DVD (no dash:) will be simply an extension of existing technologies, and should be a fraction of the cost of the BR media.
Looks like a compelling argument for MicroSoft's decision so far.

"Support for security patches and feature upgrades will end April 2009." Think how stable it will be by then! :^)
"It took took five years and $6 billion to develop" Yep, and it took me FIVE DAYS to decide to dump it off of my machine, and go back to XP Pro.

Have you thought of getting some assertiveness training?
It's a great place to troll for fat chicks with missing teeth!
*cough* BULLSHIT! *cough*
"Attentional Load Modulates Responses of Human Primary Visual Cortex to Invisible Stimuli" Isn't it too early for April Fools?

Is it against the law to score free bandwidth from that network, too?
More importantly... Does this make security cameras at banks and convenience stores obsolete? Put on the cloak and stick 'em up!
Can you say "GROKLAW"???
Um, wasn't that AUTOZONE and DC?

I though I would never see the name "Bob" associated with a software package again :)
Hey! I run my monster machine as ADMIN all of the time on my five-node LAN in the house. I think I AM an average user - For /.
So, does this mean it is sharp enough to get the wrapper off of a CD?
Or is this just "My Bologna"

If it is, I need to patch my server ASAP.
And while we are at it, can we disable the "Reply TO All" button?
