I don't use MSN, but AIM lets you stay signed in 24/7 via texts to phone. It's not an "off line message" (obviously better), but I know not everyone has unlimited texting, so not everyone uses that feature.
What does it matter to people if Linux isn't accepted as a "desktop norm"? I know there's the MS-hate/defeat-the-top-dog attitude, but other than that... what? Is somebody going to make big money if Linux takes off? Sure, you could argue pretty convincingly that botnets/zombie pcs would drop off significantly, but I would think that it would be a whole lot easier to educate people a bit on MS/Windows security than to get them to switch to Linux. Why does this keep coming up as a big deal?

Seems you're a bit behind the times. I had heard about AOL/ICQ, but I don't use either much, so I looked it up: Since 2000, ICQ and AIM users are able to add each other to their contact list without the need of any external clients.[2] (wikipedia: ICQ)
I know Y!/MSN can IM each other because I've done it.
2 Accounts. Thank you. Next!:P
Yeah, you're right, just that I don't use AOL mail (I don't think that an AIM sn and AOL email are one and the same...?) or MSN, and Gmail/Gtalk are so integrated.
So you either get an account with every major service
That's not that bad anymore. Pick: 1) ICQ/AIM 2) MSN/Yahoo and 3) Gtalk, which is a part of gmail anyway.
That's three accounts, one of which is an email also.
Analysts say what probably happened behind the scenes is that Microsoft or one of its media partners decided at the last moment that encouraging consumers to use virtualization would, at least symbolically, be at odds with its attempts to enforce DRM.
"Microsoft doesn't want the music labels, TV networks and movie studios to come back to them and say that you are enabling this ability to move content around," said Mike McGuire, an analyst at Gartner Inc.
Not allowing virtualization because someone can share a multi-GB VM via Bittorrent and "break" DRM? Uh, I think there are easier ways to break it, but I stay away from DRM, so I could be wrong...
I don't have an exact answer to your question, but I've owned two WinCE devices. I used Transcriber as the primary input on both. I don't really have anyone to compare against, but I wouldn't say it's particularly fast. What input method did you use?
Well, it seems "the user" isn't. If your ISP did, then an account would automatically be created when you signed up with your ISP, increasing Gmail's numbers, if not usage.
I have a Dell Axim and was recently looking on their (Dell's) web site for the Axim and couldn't find it. I went to look in the news for Dell Axim and found out that Dell had pulled the Axim because they thought that the future was in "smart phones," so I guess MS isn't the only one.

I don't want to, but I know I should.
Ok, we'll make an opt-in form for you.

only three of the robots are currently in Iraq.
Wow, that'll take care of business...

So that's why Vista sales are down...
What? You don't think so? Aw, c'mon...
Good call. Lol.
Yawn. I wonder how many errors are in wikipedia that no ones found or noticed yet.
it seems silly to not have that feature.
You must be new to Microsoft...
a very innovative product.
As compared to what...? Vista?

From here to Des Moines? Depending on where you're coming from, that's not very far. That's only ~4 hours south of here. ;)
Might want to expand a bit.

If it's better somewhere else, feel free to move there. And I'm not automatically assuming that you are an American.
No. I am not a rocket scintist.
Really? What exactly is a "rocket scintist"? Lol.
no, not really...
I didn't see much horror or much story.
Sub-headline: "Hotel chain wants each property to have one network for guests, staff" Maybe that's it?
Hey, we could use a Cup sighting in Minnesota...
look out. hot topic. :-?

On the internet, sneaky spyware sues YOU.
Why do you think it's called "sneaky"?
(Well, I thought it was worth a shot anyway)
Hm. Well, that's news to me. I've had no problems with my x51v/WM5... at least none that I know of...
