There's an old saying in Tennessee -- I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee -- that says, fool me once, shame on -- shame on you. Fool me -- you can't get fooled again.
I use three desktops and bind Spaces to F1 and then Expose Show All Windows to F2. So a quick hit of F1 then F2 shows a complete overview of everything I'm working on. Love for the OS X.
My Dear Friend and Earthling,
My name is Mr. Zebel Braumat, I am a senior priest in the highest order of our race. We are conducting a standard process investigation/Recommendation on behalf of all Advanced Common Civilization (ACC).
This investigation involves an ancient race who shares similar DNA as with yours from which we have previously received messages from. The circumstances which surrounding investments made by this race at ADB Gold Account, the Private Banking arm of ACC. The ACC Private Banking client died intestate and nominated no successor in title over the investments made with the bank amounting to over galactic 9.5 Gazillion dollars.
The essence of this communication with you is to request that you provide us information/comments on any or all of the four issues as regards nominating your race to inherit the fund left behind by this previous race. You are therefore being contacted to be legally nominated as next of kin(inheritor) to this race after all enquiries and investigation has yielded results showing that there is no known successors. You are required therefore to answer this questions to enable us make our recommendation.
1-Are you aware of any relative/relation born on the 2nd of February 1951, who shares your same name whose last known contact address was West Africa?
2-Are you aware of any investment of considerable value made by such a person at the Private Banking Division of ADB Bank PLC?
3-Can you confirm your willingness to accept this inheritance if you are legally and legitimately nominated and approved to stand as inheritor to this huge investment in regards to the bank account with ADB?
4-Would you agree to donate part of this inheritance to charity if you are officially approved to stand as the inheritor? It is pertinent that you inform us ASAP whether or not you are familiar with this personality or and your interest towards the issues mentioned.
You must appreciate that we are constrained from providing you with more detailed information at this point. Please respond to this mail as soon as possible to afford us the opportunity to provide you with more information on this investigation and recommendation.
Thank you for accommodating our enquiry.

I agree with your post. There's zero chance Microsoft will wait seven more years before releasing the next Xbox. Additionally, any student of MS product history will know that by version 3 of a product they've usually got the formula down and understand the market pretty well. Looking at the 360 and knowing how bad MS wants this market should keep Sony up a little later each night.
With the push towards DX10, is it really that surprising? I wouldn't accuse MS of maliciously hindering DX9's performance, but it's not hard to imagine them not putting much effort into it. Or at least not into DX9 APIs/functions not being used by Aero.
Although not their original business model, selling contextual ads has by far been their most succesful. In that sense, this new app supports that objective nicely.

Probably need to get a new pair of sunglasses if they completely blind you. HTH.
Now if only the Wii supported standard DVD movies it might have a chance of getting used.
It also makes Jesus cry.

At least Apple does not (yet) dictate how many children I may have.
Obviously it's only relevant by outing parent as a random Windows admin.

tl;dr Mac users won't be able to lift this thing.
Xbox 360 will be surpassed in 10 years

I do!

Until someone creates something that can infect the various *nixes that is. Or an asteroid destroys Earth.

Stick the CSS in a file and use it as your browser's custom CSS file. (hint: ad-free slashdot..) And actually, while we're here, let's refactor a bit:
