For myself, I can feel my blood pressure rising every time I'm forced to switch from my 4 yr old XP work laptop to our brand new, much higher-spec'd home Vista laptop. I've about had it with this PoS. I was waiting to give SP1 a chance, but by now I'm seriously considering selling my brand new laptop on eBay and getting a Mac...]]>Apr 8th 2008 3:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/07/windows-7-still-slated-for-2010-says-microsoft-bill-gates-just/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/07/windows-7-still-slated-for-2010-says-microsoft-bill-gates-just/
You don't see professional speed boat racers dragging their anchor behind them - and you don't see Intel or AMD and nVidia showing off their products with Vista nope they demo them with XP - funny how they almost always try to impress people with how fast their CPUs are with XP. Do you really think the people at those companies just haven't gotten around to testing Vista? Or they are confused by it - haven't figured out how to set it to act like Windows "classic".

Do you think it is a coincidence that at CES didn't have ANY booths witht he word Vista on them - nope - Windows and Live were the words of the day.

An OS can be truly and completely secure. ..and just because Vista isn't there yet doesn't mean they didn't do a lot of catching up- aero for compiz, IE8 for FF2, whatever they call their memory address space randomization thing (some acronym i think) for AppArmor, UAC for gksu...

Remember, they don't have to be as good as anyone else, they just have to be good /enough/. Knowing this allows them to concentrate their efforts for the best for their company-- like marketing and lobbying the ISO, for instance.]]>Apr 7th 2008 8:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/07/windows-7-still-slated-for-2010-says-microsoft-bill-gates-just/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/07/windows-7-still-slated-for-2010-says-microsoft-bill-gates-just/

Been using a Mac since the LC days. 18 Years, NO VIRUS PROTECTION, NO FIREWALL, NO SPYWARE PROTECTION. NO VIRUSES EVER, NEVER HACKED. Plus, I have my old 300MHz G3 running OSX server, hosting some personal/business sites. And, that hasn't been hacked. They attempted, without success. I'm not afraid to use my computers either. I watch what I download. I do keep up on my maintenance and keep an eye on my logs. I'm waiting for the day disaster strikes. My ONLY Mac to stop working was an iBook I had. So, one out of 12. Not bad. Other than that i had a few external drives go.

As far as the M$ story, Let see if they can do it right "this" time. So far, so...ya]]>Apr 7th 2008 9:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/07/windows-7-still-slated-for-2010-says-microsoft-bill-gates-just/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/07/windows-7-still-slated-for-2010-says-microsoft-bill-gates-just/Apr 7th 2008 9:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/07/windows-7-still-slated-for-2010-says-microsoft-bill-gates-just/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/07/windows-7-still-slated-for-2010-says-microsoft-bill-gates-just/
way to reinforce your pre-existing beliefs by reading titles of engadget articles and extrapolating them globally as gospel]]>Apr 7th 2008 9:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/07/windows-7-still-slated-for-2010-says-microsoft-bill-gates-just/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/07/windows-7-still-slated-for-2010-says-microsoft-bill-gates-just/Apr 7th 2008 9:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/07/windows-7-still-slated-for-2010-says-microsoft-bill-gates-just/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/07/windows-7-still-slated-for-2010-says-microsoft-bill-gates-just/
did you ever stop to think that maybe your Mac has not had any virus's, spyware, and has never been hacked has to do with you being so careful with your IT related tasks? You do the same thing with windows and it would not be a problem either. As far as spyware/virus's go, if a programmer has the intent on infected computers and wreaking havoc which OS would you choose to write it for, windows and its ~90% market share, and hundreds upon hundreds of millions of computers, or a Mac, which has ~7% market share? If your precious Mac ever manages to garner a significantly larger portion of the market, prepare for your Mac to become very vulnerable to virus's and the like.]]>Apr 7th 2008 11:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/07/windows-7-still-slated-for-2010-says-microsoft-bill-gates-just/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/07/windows-7-still-slated-for-2010-says-microsoft-bill-gates-just/
I am by no way anything IT. My maintenance only consists of: installing updates and occasionally fix the permissions and verify the drive. Sometimes I will run DiskWarrior to optimize the drive. But, like I said, I have no firewall, virus or spyware protection. Just the OS. I have not had to purchase any additional software to keep my computer secure.

You need to find a better argument than M$ has 90% market share. Virus writers are smart for the most part, just look at what they can do as and example. Not the best way to prove your intelligence, but effective. Lazy people are smart also. An old saying, "If you want to find the easiest and fastest way to get something done, have a lazy person do it." There are MANY ways hacker can make something cross-platform (JAVA is one example), but it will take more work. M$ Software "could" have all the same holes, even less, as any other software, but it's easily exploitable. So it comes down to hackers are lazy people. Don't believe me. A hackers method couldn't be any lazier, make something once and let it do the work.

And, I do agree that when the Mac market share gains there will be more out there. That's a given with any technology. Although the hackers will now see the benefits of taking the extra time to make something cross-platform.

Hacked today, Here tomorrow.]]>Apr 8th 2008 9:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/07/windows-7-still-slated-for-2010-says-microsoft-bill-gates-just/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/07/windows-7-still-slated-for-2010-says-microsoft-bill-gates-just/Apr 8th 2008 9:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/07/windows-7-still-slated-for-2010-says-microsoft-bill-gates-just/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/07/windows-7-still-slated-for-2010-says-microsoft-bill-gates-just/

Somewhere, some retard claimed that it would have a brand-spanking new kernel and break backwards compatibility and all sorts of other utter bullshit. An alpha build of Windows 7 is available to certain people, if you're that anxious to see that the new kernel isn't forthcoming, go download it off bittorent and install it.

It will not break compatibility with older apps. It will not have a brand new kernel - it will have updates to the existing kernel and continued work on componentization. That is all. It will not bring back support for legacy drivers. It will be a comparatively minor upgrade (compared to Vista anyhow). There may or may not be pie-menus, although this is doubtful.

Good, bullshit-free reads - first one debunking common myths and the second one providing an interesting view into what IS coming up with Windows 7 (although to be fair, details are scarce).
