While many might believe this is marketting BS, has anybody actually compared them? As someone has already mentioned, the Gravis Ultrasound could improve audio (I owned one).
If the license requires sites to publish the source code of the GPL software used, won't this make it easier for trouble-makers to see exactly what version/revisions of the software you're using and which bugs/flaws are still unpatched?
By my calculation the ads take up almost 25% (probably more as some ads are only partly shown) of the total browser area. Micro$oft's response will probably something like this..
"mail beta is designed for M$ Vista users. As Vista's hardware requirements will require most users to upgrade their PCs to do anything useful anyway, we will be recommending users upgrade to a display adapter capable of supporting at least 2048x1536, lowering the browser area taken up by ads to around 5%."
If the broadcast flag is made law, what is to stop television companies (who we all know are sooo impartial) from preventing shows 'they' dont agree with from being recorded. When I say they, I mean anyone who has influence over these companies (government, big business).
I think M$ should just forget all this silly per per core/per processor licensing. The best way for them to earn more money is to charge per clock cycle. They could then charge people a premium for running non-M$ software.
It makes me wonder why no insurance companies offer insurance against loss via bad software. House insurance is dependant on suitable locks and security. Software insurance could be made available on the condition that suitable AV/Spyware/Firewall software was installed and patched.
What about how much space it will take up? By that time, data storage and compression will have advanced to the point where the entire google index fits on a single USB 4.0 nano-flash device.
Also, by then google will have so many indexes they'll need an index of google indexes. You'll go to googledex to find out which google to search on.

e x.html also says MP3s sound better.
A review on Toms Hardware http://www.tomshardware.com/consumer/20050818/ind
The card will also support multiple 3D positioned audio sources in real time.
While the card is excessive for most users, the card is still very impressive.
