Um get your facts straight:
1. It doesn't require anything my 4 year old laptop doesn't have. 2ghz pentium M, 1gig of ram.
2. The bugs are greatly exagerated the only relavent one: slow file operations has been fixed since sp1.
3. Um I've run vista just fine on computers NOT marked as vista capable. And this is the same as #1 so you're just inflating your numbers.
4. Service Packs are always in development. THIS IS A GOOD THING.
5. And yet Windows 7 is still a ways down the road.
6. But the ad campaign proved what it was meant to. The majority of the trash talk about vista is just trash talk.
Extra: Vista has no "DRM crap" it only has support of certain DRM functionalities so that its now POSSIBLE for you to watch DRM protected content.
By any rational, unbiased inspection of the facts, your post is a colossal FUD.
Windows comes with less bundled software because the anti-microsoft hypocrites claim that when microsoft includes extra apps that it is an anti-competitive action.
Unless you take quantum tunneling into account. Then even though our intelligence level isn't high enough to make it to the other side of the wall (ie create the ai) we might just do it anyways.
Age 3 seems old enough to me. But if a kid has hand-eye coordination skills better than the average 3 year old , let them play younger. If they develop more slowly then wait til 4 or something. But really this is a nonissue.
This statement is very poorly timed and thus most likely completely inaccurate.
1. Christmas season starts soon. Christmas = high sales period.
2. Wii has 3 extremely popular games being released between now and february.
Just because something is popular does not make it a monopoly. If google was the backbone of the internet then you might have a case. However, google is more of an xray allowing you to look at the body.
No it is no where near an abuse of monopoly not to list someone on your search service. Google is a private company and is fully allowed to customize its survice as it sees fit. If google feels that having a company listed will detract from google's customers' overall satisfaction they are perfectly allowed to do as they please. Don't give me anymore of this monopoly bs.
Unless I'm mistaken Macs are NOT price competitive, unless being 800 or so dollars over is competitive. Look at the top of the line Mac Book Pro, compared to this http://www.powernotebooks.com/product.php?itemId=1 430 computer. If equipped with the same specs then the Mac is about $800 more expensive. Unless of course OSX's price tag is 800.
Actually it does know the difference between it's and its. Just checked, I was somewhat impressed.

Java SE 6 Released

Actually it can be said. Java still runs slower now on Sun's virtual machine on windows machines than it did years ago on Microsoft's VM. Of course Mircosoft's VM is obsolete, but it's still saying something. Java simply can't compete with other languages on speed and I've never seen a convincing argument stating otherwise. I run a few tests on Sun's JVM a couple times a year, then promptly uninstall it in disappointment.
The fact that many PCs can not be sold without Windows is not relevant to a comparison between OSX and Vista unless it is a positive attribute for PCs. Macs as opposed to these "Windows locked" PCs MUST come with Mac OSX. There is no choice in the matter period.
Parent should not be rated troll, he does bring up a good point, There are legitamate reasons for buying these domain names, for example If you are a company Bank of AmeRiva or perhaps you are making a website to critique the business practices of Bank of America
Ummm, didn't Sun sue Microsoft because they wanted to keep full control over java? Now that their opening it up doesn't this give microsoft the right to produce/release their own virtual machine again?
LOL of course I play games on PC, and yes I do use Alcohol/Daemon Tools, but even using virtual drives represents an overhead hassle comparable to swapping cds. Normlly you'd likely have to swap images anyways, especially on older games which must point to a specific guide.

Yes aging is outlandish because dying is such a great thing.
As much as I love linux - for desktop use it is NOT more stable than windows.

Your title was misleading just thought I'd fix it for you.
Publicly traded does not mean a public service. Google is a private entity from the government.

Well there is at least ten in South Bend, Indiana, Best Buy and Gamestop both have a few sitting on the shelves here.

Nor does it both cockroaches

Nintendo's controller is better than ours... SIXsux Nintendo's OS is better than ours... um Lets upgrade too!

In that case you must not play PS1, PS2, Gamecube or PC games because all of these systems have game disc swaps (not sure about xbox but it could too)
You do know I wasn't serious right?
Does anyone actually use yahoo anymore? I mean seriously I only go to yahoo on accident. I couldn't even tell you what the front page looks like.
