It's the second link in the summary. Yesterday MS's Canadian website listed the prices, and then immediately pull them.
And Apple refuses to license it's DRM to other MP3 player manufacturers, while Microsoft's DRM is licensed to third parties so you have multiple MP3 players that work with it. I wouldn't call either 'cross-platform'.
Parent was complaining about how DRM and devices don't work everywhere. I can't buy music from iTunes and stick it into my Walkman phone. Ya, I'd have to burn it to CD and then rip it. I wouldn't call that easy.
Vista actually already has this build in. If you have the service on (as it is on by default), you can right click on any file and see a list of dates when it was modifed under a tab called "Previous Versions", and you can select which date you want to recover.
Even in XP, or other OSes, the GUI is still running in the background, it doesn't automatically go away. In Vista, the advanced Aero effects that utilize the GPU are turned off when you go fullscreen in a game.
Vista automatically turns off (or you can do so manually) all the advanced GUI features that take up RAM, CPU and GPU time when you run fullscreen applications like videogames.
Ya, but at the same time, it really wouldn't have hurt the submitter to simple state: "Warren Ellis, influential British comic book author, has announced...".
Yes, I'm lazy, and I want the work to be done for me damnit! But still, it's just good article writing.
For me, I actually do almost everything on Windows (program, browse, mail, music, etc), but I always keep a partition with a flavour of Linux installed on it (lately it's been Ubuntu). I boot to it from time to time just to keep up to date with things, because from time to time I end up in an environment where I have to use Linux. Without that, I'd have no idea what I'm doing. (Not like I do, but you know, I can at least act like it >.>)
Processes? Who cares about processes? So it's a single app that acts like two apps, but the point remains that it still acts like two.
How about you go download and install Opera, run it, try out the built-in mail, see the difference between it and Mozilla from an end-user point of view, and then apologize for being too stupid to see my point?
Claiming something and it being true are completely different things. And that statement doesn't claim it's actually built-in. Yes, you download a single installer for all of the above, but it's still a separate app. The only 'integration' is the fact that there's a link to the email app from within the browser. In Opera it is actually built-in; you never leave your browser to check your mail since they're one app.
A little known fact is that it's actually not loaded unless you setup a mail account. The same goes for the IRC client. If they're not used, they don't use any resources. (The Mozilla suite doesn't offer built-in mail, you still have to pop open another app).
And about 10 years ago, Nintendo was the brand that parents and kids were familiar with. Things change. Sony are showing a similar level of arrogance as Nintendo when they started their downhill spiral in losing market share. I'm not expecting anything, but I wouldn't be surprised if the PS3 doesn't fair well.
Ya, I noticed that. Opera has great theme support which isn't mentioned. The 'download pause' makes it sounds like its worse than Firefox's, you can actually resume pasued downloads in Opera. Doesn't mention that it had the "reopen a closed tab" before Firefox, and one of it's biggest features: built-in mail.
Note that I also mentioned Computer Arts magazine. I think a big issue is that UK magazines are subsidized by UK advertisers, who would only care to pay for the circulation numbers in the UK. All oversea's sales have to come out of the main price of the magazine, hence it's more expensive. What I loved about Computer Arts when I was subscribed is that the front cover had no lettering/headlines, just the high quality image uninterrupted, which was awesome!

Note that last sentence where I said I wouldn't call either solution cross platform.
Shampoo might...

Wait...how the hell did you type that last bit when you were dead? ...freaky...
It's Windows. And last I checked, iPod/iTunes were still DRM'd up the wazoo.
And you've proven that you're a complete fanboy with no sense of humour! Poor liddle AC...
The GMail chat functionality that links it with Google Talk doesn't work in Opera.

Maybe when Linux users stop calling Microsoft Micro$soft and Windows Winblows so others can actually take them seriously.
...ya...right...

So Google Video and YouTube should stop using Flash to serve videos? I'll send them a memo. I'm sure they'll jump right on that, just for you.

Wait, even better: just put in a fake email addie. No annoying fileplanet.
