Perhaps Vista will be the "Home Edition" and LongHorn the "Proffesional Edition." I, personally have used both of XP for long perionds of time. I am currently using Pro, and I have yet to find a difference between it and Home.
It's still far from perfect. Right now, I'm using a Microsoft PS/2 Natural Media Keyboard, and when I plugged it in, Only half the buttons worked! Really, not having proper drivers for their own product...
Do mine ears decieve me? I think macs are quite worthy, if not better than a WinTel PC. Sure, they cost a lot, but not nearly as much as they used to, and with the limited experience I've had trying out Tiger, Macs are very worthy.
If you liked Metroid and Super Metroid as much as I did, why don't you pick up a Rev when it comes out, and play them on it? That is one of Nintendo's main focuses on the Revolution.
I am at this moment using a Logitech MediaPlay wireless optical mouse that I got in May. It came with two Duracell batteries, and I haven't switched them yet, even though the mouse has been on for about four months.

Ultimately, I don't really care. DS games were made to be fun, not to look pretty, even though Mario Kart DS does. They were made for FUN, which the PSP does not have, Mr. Graphics Whore.

I do, except the video camera.
I used to often carry my cell, DS, PowerShot A60, and Creative CD player with me.
I probably will when school is back...

Well, an RPG is a Role Playing Game. What does that mean? This means that you take a fictional character, and you define his actions.
What? Don't you take the role of Mario and define his actions by pressing buttons in Super Mario 64?
RPGs such as D&D (Dungeons and Dragons) came out long before any video games, and when RPGs such as Final Fantasy came out, the name stuck, and games such as Super Mario Brothers came out, the genre RPG just didn't seem to fit.
Super Mario 64 really is and RPG, though we just don't see it that way.
Okay, look at how nice the new visual effects for the desktop are on X.Org! Just wait for me to log out...
What? Why do I have to log out? Because it takes far too much of the CPU power I have.
Waits 30 more seconds for Debian to start...
THERE! LOOK! IT'S REAL TIME TRANSPARENCY! WOW! ISN'T IT AWESOME?!?!
Me: No. No, it isn't. In fact, I can't see a difference between KDE 3.4.1 with X.Org and KDE 3.1 with XFree86.

That was an exaggerated dialogue between my friend and I when he was showing me some useless visual effects on Gentoo with X.Org.
Nintendo is fighting Sony with 4 handhelds at the same time: Gameboy, GBA, GB color, DS. Not to mention, Nintendo will have the new Nes Micro handheld next year.
Nintendo is no longer producing the Game Boy, GB or GB Color, nor are they making games for it. The PlayStation 2 did not have to compete with the NES or SNES, only the N64 for a year and the GameCube.
Nintendo will have the new Nes Micro handheld next year.
First, it is the Game Boy Micro, not NES Micro.
Second, it will be another Game Boy Advance, not an NES.
Please tell me you are not using EGM as a resource for this, as they are the only people bad enough to make monkey-poo rumors like that.
I spent 2 hours yesterday playing warcraft II. I don't know how I managed to play it, since we need 3D units and terrain. I just played it, and I had a hell of a good time, too.
Gameplay>Graphics
WarCraft II Gameplay>All other RTS gameplay
I put one of those brand-new 486-DX2s in my computer, and boy does my computer run warcraft 2 fast! I mean, the only way to make the thing any better is to upgrade the ram from 28 megs to 32, but I'm not that rich!

Dude, dollars don't have any air in them! How could you possibly deflate them?

How DARE you use that awful N-word in my presence, young man!
Um... Hi. We're computer geeks. We don't care if the computer shoots us in the head and then sleeps with our wife. We ONLY care about the inside.
No, those specs are just on my old box, which I play Warcraft II on once in a while. My new box has a Radeon 9600, so no problems there.

There had better be, because that thing is HUGE!
Meteos, dude. Meteos.
Why would a GBA be called NES Micro?
and none of the stores have 'em on display.
Do you think that stores would want little kids to crap up their $300 PSPs?

They wouldn't get lower if everyone on GameSpot was gay! That's not too likely, is it?
Smart Car anyone?
