I truly think that instead of pushing the envelope they want to sell yet another feature. Yet another "killer" user interface in the hopes that people will upgrade.
yep. exactly. again upgrade hardware, software... it's called increasing productivity... damn! how can people be productive while in nonstop process of patching and upgrading, then setting all up, tweaking..........?!
i don't watch tv for over a year now. cable with more than 50 channels... using that "idiot box" for computers, consoles, vhs... why still got cable? because of the internet. i get all my information and entertainment there. i even work there...:-)
yes i do. and much better. actually i hate all this skinning business. my XP box is running with skins turned off. skins are useless. but if i must choose good looking and very customizable one... than its KDE.
still using 2.91. feel no reason to upgrade. and i don't play modules with it. i play with ModPlug Player. why? because IT and other mod formats playback in Winamp sucks hard.
on news.com.com page with article about IBM opening up its Power line is Intel Itanium 2 ad where is mentioned Threefold performance improvement over RISC...
i want desktop Power PC with Linux preinstalled. screw x86. its a dead end.
Gates also said advances in programing will allow software developers to create applications in less time by using visual representations of the inner workings of software rather than writing lines of programing code.
it's even more funny considering that competitive office suites retain only 75% accuracy (data and formatting) when receiving documents from Office users by using reverse engineering...
Office provides innovative security on three levels to protect
your business environment, data and intellectual property:
and one of these levels is
Data Loss: Auto recovery and application recovery tool
it's funny that OpenOffice.org 1.1.0 on my machine actually can open corrupted Word documents but M$ Office still can't.
and
...Microsoft has continued to innovate and invest in productivity
applications since the '80s, evolving Office from a content
authoring tool to a collaborative productivity enhancement
platform. With an R&D budget of over $4.8 billion....
hmmm... what they are researching with all that money for all these years? PowerPoint?

just turn off autopilot! no wait... or turn on?
more like Inspector Gadget :-)

oh my god... not only ugly as hell but interface is complete mess too. KDE and OSX comparing to XP and this "horn" looks like heaven...
...just like battle droids in Star Wars!

lucky me - my birthday is tomorrow!

Gates reiterated his mantra that improving the security and reliability of software was still the company's top priority.
*tears in eyes* gosh how happy i am to read it. he still thinks about security... and... and reliability... i can't believe it *crying*

Welcome to Microsaft Wizard!
What do you want to create today?
1) something slow
2) something bloated
3) both
4) ask Clippy
why i see that stupid scene from "Swordfish" where that "h4ck3r" puts together his worm with those cubes...
MS is not a monopoly in the gaming market.
and when they become monopoly xbox quality will start suck hard... like with all m$ products...
does it run l... ahh, nevermind.
Is there anything that OpenOffice does that is new?
why yes - it opens corrupted office documents and saves documents directly to pdf. for me thats priceless.
*clears glasses* *looks again at the screen* i think thats enough of slashdot for me today...
but that could be whole lot funnier! and for now this is just weird :-)
When it comes to charity, Microsoft gets as good as it gives.
it's even more funny considering that competitive office suites retain only 75% accuracy (data and formatting) when receiving documents from Office users by using reverse engineering...
are you kidding? by this time Acrobat Reader should be on every platform and every single computer on this planet.

in this case "But Does It Run Windows?" would be more apropriate :-)
that feels so good! i'm proud to be European! :-)
Media Player Classic is the best. WiMP and RealPlayer - they both stink. hmm, no wait... Real stinks little bit more.
