I beta tested the darn thing. I got a free final copy though an MS promo. I can say with confidence is it NOT worth the money you would pay, even when they DO release SP1.
If you can get it free through a promo, it's STILL not worth the trouble until SP1 comes out, I think.:P
I have a very long list of grievances, including the startup folder doesn't work, occasionally Explorer will decide to cancel file operations even if you didn't, merging folder trees doesn't remove the original folders, Vista is slow as molasses and is NOT for games (I don't see how Halo 2 PC didn't immediately tank) although switching to Windows Classic theme helps a lot... so much for glass. And this is my ABRIDGED list.
If you have IPv6 enabled (which is the default) on a network which does not support it, all connections are noticeably slower in establishing. Disable IPv6 to get a great speed boost!
I turned the catchall on for my domain. I quickly realized my mistake after a few days of getting e-mails addressed to "idosuf@mzzt.net" etc and turned it off.
And I completely ignored the issue of the cellphones rendering the key unusable. Well it doesn't necessarily have had to erased the data; some other component could fail as a result of whatever particular radiation the key is vulnerable to.
Not necessarily. You can't record over commercial CDs. You can't take an old game boy game you hate and overwrite the ROM with the image of a game you like. Just because something holds data doesn't mean it's CHANGEABLE data.
Sounds like you're trying to make his problem fit your solution instead of the other way around... his mother-in-law doesn't NEED to watch YouTube, she needs to talk with her kids!
Steam beats playing the "find the latest patch" game. Not to mention the with server browser I can view ALL servers for ALL GoldSource/Source games I have, instead of having to pick which game I want to play FIRST and then checking the servers from in-game. Friends finally works now, which is itself neat since it integrates with GoldSource and Source so nicely.
Lastly it serves as a convenient launcher menu if nothing else.
You think that's bad, how about when the person who leaves the message then starts off by saying the date and time they're calling (so you have to hear it twice before they tell you why they called). My grandma does this.
Still, date and time is useful when you go on a trip for a week or something. But of course now we have cellphones so people can reach us anyway...
That's scary. But if it were to be upheld, MS would have to charge for every minor hotfix, patch, service pack, etc etc etc, which would give free Linux distros a vital edge in the desktop market. Every software company would do whatever it took to get that bill repealed if it were used that way... of course add-on content is a bit different from bug fixes, but even then, it seems to me that entity A should be able to freely give stuff to entity B if he wants to.
It's embedded in the SWF file, I saved it to disk and used a free tool I had from some other SWF ripping adventure I had done called SWFRIP to extract the MP3.
View -> Page Source? I mean, that's the main thing they usually wanna block by blocking the context menu anyways. Or how about CTRL+U? Let's see you block that!
Or how about Tools -> Options -> Content -> JavaScript -> Advanced -> Disable or replace context menus? That's even a more direct way to stop it!
Of course this is Firefox. I'm sure none of the other major browsers such as IE7 (Page -> View Source / View -> Source) or Opera 9 (View -> Source / CTRL+F3) have easy ways around this, thus the cause for concern over the "hack".
Let's also not forget that any JavaScript is essentially open source, since it can't be compiled (obfuscated, maybe, but even then you can usually figure it out) and new JavaScript functionality can be added and existing functionality changed (or "hacked" as it is so ineloquently put) and tweaked to suit a user's needs through tools such as Greasemonkey.
My cousin racked up $200 on his family's phone bill because he thought SMS was included for free in the plan. I'm glad I'm not him (he's gotta pay it off himself).
Actually, Vista does virtualize SOME attempts to write to Program Files and HKLM. In fact this was one of the touted features (the writes get redirected to user-specific areas).

Amusing addendum while looking for other browsers:
Internet Explorer 3 16-bit on Windows Vista:
No JavaScript, and doesn't even recognize the CSS on msn.com or on the test page.
Newer versions of IE, except for 7 of course, won't run on Vista at all (maybe I'm missing a version-specific DLL for those. Oh well).

My data is already backed up. I used an SD card.
I turned the catchall on for my domain. I quickly realized my mistake after a few days of getting e-mails addressed to "idosuf@mzzt.net" etc and turned it off.
Why are you trying to hide an e-mail address in your message? Trying to get someone you hate more spam?
My e-Books that is! HA!

Thank you, I was CERTAIN Metroid Prime 3 was going to be released this year. The summary scared me for a minute there.
