I thing they did it because it is cheaper, Intel CPU's are faster (Core 2), more compatible with the rest of the industry (Run xp on it natively or in a VM without recompilation of instructions) thats my favorite, and more energy efficient,motherboards/chipsets are cheaper list goes on. Makes sense thats all.
As a person who uses Windows XP x64 at work everyday I have to disagree. It is every bit as stable as the 32bit counterpart if not more stable. It is based on the Windows 2003 Server codebase and is very reliable and responsive. Drivers are avaliable from most major hardware verndors for new stuff and some old stuff as well. 32 bit Apps work just fine from anywere you want to launch them from. They just have the seprate Program Files paths for convinience. I prefer the X64 version over the 32bit version any day of the week. Don't knock it till you try it.
Alot of people wait there whole life for something that never comes. This seems like one of those projects. SETI is not all useless but it should definitly have a lower priority than climate or helth. I can't see an ET signal benifiting mankind more than a cure for cancer even if SETI did find something.
SETI is a waste and I say that not because I don't belive in extra terestrial life but because all that computer power can be better used elsewhere. Even if SETI will find something most likely it will be very very questionable. I mean there is a better chance of finding and curing most deseses than finding ET. I would pick a cure for cancer or parkinsons over the ET version of Freinds any day.
Lets say I have a virgin install of windows XP original or even SP for that matter and no updates. Auto updates are toroghly disabled and the box is behind a firewall. How is it going to just shut itself off. pirates can simply just not update there computer. Yea I know security this and that but most people have no clue about it. Out of curiosity I installed my windows XP Pro that came with my HP laptop onto my freinds home made desktop with the laptops CD key and it activated automaticly without even calling microsoft and bullshitting them. I reinstalled and re activated my laptop until it refused to and I had to call MS just to activate my legit copy but on a whole new comp it just works for some reason. MS is really screwed up and eventually I hope they get some serious compitition from someone so they can clean their shit up properly. Apple has the best chance I hope they get 10% of the market share so this bullshit stops. I honestly think due to microsofts recent bullshit from all directions people will start buying macs or the more savy ones looking into linux.
No reason for them to combat this or deliberetly prevent this in future versions. I mean as long as they sell the damn thing they should be happy. And the whole vxworks move was a VERY bad idea on their part. countless problems with routers based on that firmware.
Well what choice do they have when it comes to imbedded wireless APS. They can't put windows on one and not make it a full blown box sitting there wasting space and resources. This time it will be harder to eat their own dog food because if they end up making there own custom APS based on windows as a sort hey look what our stuff can do maneuver that would be labeled as stupid.
I see alot of posts about ME sucking compared to 98. I used to work for a Mom and Pop computer store back in those days and went torgh hundreds of computers. Let me set the record straight: ME and 98 suck a nearly identical amount. They are bouth unstable and unreliable.

No, but it looks like you can slide your credit card at the top of the radiator.
Put "I Think" before she said all those things and then it becomes her opinion and she would have never lost the case.
Is ment to be non detectable. In this you can clearly see the words Buy all over so there is nothing subliminal going on it is just retarded.
Get over it I say.
But did someone genetically engineer a mouse to do such a task yet? And another one to resist arrest but in most mice that is natural I guess.
Ahmen to that!

Congrats. You just passed the Official Slashdot "clairvoiance test". care to take a guess on the outcome of this experiment.
There is more to this world than meets eye or any other 4 senses for that matter. Just google "esp tests" and take a couple you might be surprised.

Short answere: NO Long Answere: Never

Nothing imposible about that. It is especially obvious if someone ate some corn.
Windows embeded is really a wattered down version of XP mosly cash registers and self checkout machines like the ones in home depot.

LoL April Fools has passsed along with the pink ponnies!
If anything it will be "Vista Ready"... No guarantee it will run on it or how it will perform.
Im sure there will be pleanty of software avaliable for the new formats soon.
Umm... It's called a computer with TV out dude...
I am not saying it din't I am just saying it was buggy and unstable...
It's going to be like windows 95 all over again. Too much hype and not much to back it up.
