Well, maybe Vista will be OK too by SP1... or 2...

Tried to use my wife's laptop (Vista) to burn a CD of photos last night. This happened twice: Speaking of which, please excuse me for a few minutes, Windows Explorer has now been 100% hung for 5 minutes, despite my asking Vista to restart it, and despite me pushing Ctrl-Alt-Del several times over t...

Wireless controllers is a definite want to have, since we're gong to have little kids running around. What is the online like on these games or XBox in general? Does it require buying something extra? Do most games have it? Is it like servers with up to 10 players or 20 or whatnot? Or some large ce...

I read that as "we're kinda dumb, lazy, and rush things out."

Anyone have one of these? What games are good for it? I was thinking of getting one now that they support DIVX/XVID as a media streamer, since it can also stream HDTV. Was thinking some games might be nice as well. Is there any point in the Elite version and it's 120GB HD? Or is the one with the 20...

Mac's have some feature that does a suspend to disk type of thing. Apparently when it first came out, lots of "notebooks" got bad hard drives cuz of movement while it was doing the suspend feature.

And the latest batch has all sorts of hard drive issues.

Me either.

A co-worker friend of mine has a son who plays that as well (~10 yo) and he says it is safe.

So some woman supposedly made a million by buying/selling land there. Basically, by being first, then selling to the suckers who came later. What kills me is that respectable businesses (IBM, Coke, etc) are pouring money in there because they are afraid of being left out or left behind. But there's...

They shut those down though, right?

SD'ers will do anything for something that's free. Even if it's almost worthless.

I wonder how many people signed up...

It does have a limit of one per person. I just signed my wife's name up.

You have to do both. It's after 90 days that they send you the software. They want you to keep participating after that date, I would assume. The surveys are every 2 weeks, iirc. I used two different names/email addresses. Link that has people discussing the details. update...."Recieve your ch...

SP 1 is now available.

SP1 of Office 2007 also available.

Yeah... I ended up doing 2 work PCs.

Link Products offered (choice of 1): * Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate (32-bit and 64-bit DVD) * Microsoft Office Ultimate 2007 * Microsoft Money Plus Premium * Microsoft Student with Encarta Premium 2008 * Microsoft Streets and Trips 2008 I just put this on 2 computers to get a copy of Vista (und...

That looks awesome.

Like Kill Bill meets Grindhouse.

We went with Office 2007, cuz we're a new company, and had nothing to upgrade. I do generally prefer 2007, even though Word/Excel are annoying. I used group policy to make all files be saved as 2003 versions for compatibility. We buy Windows Vista licenses, because you get free downgrade rights. So...

Good question, not sure.
