shmengie: kenny: yes apoc was joking. he was misquoting bill gates from about 20 years ago.


Fixed that for you

Wait wait, I thought that the 30GB iPod only had 2 hours of playback time

I would also rather have Vista ready when it's done than have it on time. It would hurt MS more to release Vista in a buggy state than it would to release it late. (especially with the current January launch frame)

"It does seem a little ridiculous, this has been in production since XP came out; why is it that Apple can completely update their operating system every 18 months and most Linux distros do it even faster, but the biggest software company has taken 6 years on this one? I realize Microsoft has to asure support for a lot more hardware than anyone else, but come on, it couldn't take 4 to 5 years just to write drivers."



Oh I don't know, could it have something to do with OSX and each linux distro not having to completely overhaul their OS in each incremental upgrade? That they have not rewritten their kernels or APIs each time?

Ah ha! Bell says that they will have it too in about two weeks

I should be faster with the submittage of new news, I learned about this early this week :/

RE#2 you are looking at a prototype ASUS laptop that MS has been using to show of their SideShow technology, which is part of Vista

1: Get Apple fans to speculate on what products Apple will come out with at whatever upcoming event
2: Design a similar device or hire one of the photoshopers of such a device
3: Advertise it through viral campaigns
4: PROFIT!!!!

Just a couple of things to pick at. Centrino is NOT a processor brand, and the picture shows of MCE 2005, not 2004

We just got one last week, it's a bit slow itself, luckly the piano controlling software resides on the piano, and you can connect to it using a computer or PDA
