I know that Apple sucks, but no need to state it under a non-Apple article.

I like Apple because they produce great software. I now like Microsoft because they're producing great, competitive software. But to be fair, I mainly like Apple (and others) because they put pressure on Microsoft to compete. If not, we'd be lucky to see Vista SP1 out, let alone any word of a new version.

Competition = good for consumers... so shut up and let them compete for me.]]>Feb 26th 2009 11:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/windows-7-to-get-2-000-bug-fixes-pointed-out-by-testers/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/windows-7-to-get-2-000-bug-fixes-pointed-out-by-testers/
Apple are a more innovative, forward thinking company, where as Microsoft is all about profits - that is pretty plain to see. Apple has changed things, where as Microsoft has only imitated. Almost every one of Microsoft's successes has been something that has already been done. Windows. Office. Explorer. And when they do have an idea of their own (Bob anyone? That was awesome, wasn't it?) it shows their true colors. Gates & Balmer dismissed and talked down the iPod when it came out. They said it promotes piracy, blah blah blah, insinuated it would fail.
Now we have the Zune...
Someone else penetrates the market with good software or ideas, and Microsoft use their market share to incorporate their lesser version & kill the original, as you cheer them on. I would hate to see what Windows would be if the Mac had never existed.

Microsoft is to computers is what Wal Mart is to retail or what McDonalds is to restaurants. ]]>Feb 27th 2009 8:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/windows-7-to-get-2-000-bug-fixes-pointed-out-by-testers/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/windows-7-to-get-2-000-bug-fixes-pointed-out-by-testers/Feb 27th 2009 7:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/windows-7-to-get-2-000-bug-fixes-pointed-out-by-testers/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/windows-7-to-get-2-000-bug-fixes-pointed-out-by-testers/Feb 26th 2009 5:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/windows-7-to-get-2-000-bug-fixes-pointed-out-by-testers/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/windows-7-to-get-2-000-bug-fixes-pointed-out-by-testers/Feb 26th 2009 6:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/windows-7-to-get-2-000-bug-fixes-pointed-out-by-testers/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/windows-7-to-get-2-000-bug-fixes-pointed-out-by-testers/

The main strength of Windows is how it will run on whatever brand of hardware you can get it to run on. That is also its biggest weakness because you don't get console-like stability of a small hardware set a-la Apple. For those of us who prefer choice and power over simplicity and slickness, a large beta group like this is probably the best way to test as many possible configurations as they can.

Good on ya Microsoft. Now do me a favor and extend some of this love to the mobile space.]]>Feb 26th 2009 5:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/windows-7-to-get-2-000-bug-fixes-pointed-out-by-testers/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/windows-7-to-get-2-000-bug-fixes-pointed-out-by-testers/Feb 26th 2009 5:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/windows-7-to-get-2-000-bug-fixes-pointed-out-by-testers/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/windows-7-to-get-2-000-bug-fixes-pointed-out-by-testers/Feb 26th 2009 6:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/windows-7-to-get-2-000-bug-fixes-pointed-out-by-testers/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/windows-7-to-get-2-000-bug-fixes-pointed-out-by-testers/Feb 26th 2009 6:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/windows-7-to-get-2-000-bug-fixes-pointed-out-by-testers/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/windows-7-to-get-2-000-bug-fixes-pointed-out-by-testers/Feb 26th 2009 6:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/windows-7-to-get-2-000-bug-fixes-pointed-out-by-testers/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/windows-7-to-get-2-000-bug-fixes-pointed-out-by-testers/Feb 26th 2009 6:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/windows-7-to-get-2-000-bug-fixes-pointed-out-by-testers/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/windows-7-to-get-2-000-bug-fixes-pointed-out-by-testers/
The critical part of investigating the issues is also not just software related. Based upon your computer setup, it could contribute it a piece a hardware too.

Not perfect - but sleep is so dang quick that it adds less than 10 seconds to my routine.
