This looks nice, shame Creative don't go in for hard drives any more.

Totally agree with Blah here. I've had my G4 ibook for almost 2 years now, and whilst it's good for the odd bit of web browsing, it's simply no patch on my PC. It certainly crashes a great deal more as well. In fact, my current PC (which I've had for about 10 months now) has NEVER crashed to my recollection. Nor have I had the BSOD on any PC for /several years/.

6 months after I bought the mac, it wouldn't load. Every time I switched it on, it just came up with a message telling me to restart it. There was no way for me to tell what was wrong with it. Entering verbose mode gave no clues, even after typing the last few lines into google. Simply searching on mac forums was ever less help. In the end, I took it to a nearby mac centre to get it fixed. It was found that the Hard-Drive was corrupted. That was it. They then proceeded to charge me £50 for all the software they'd recovered, even though I had backups of everything on there. With a pc, it'd have been obvious within 5 minutes that my hard-disc was at fault, and I could've had it fixed myself /for free/ before the day was out.

So my problem with macs is this: Regardless of whether you happen to be one or not, MACS ARE DESIGNED FOR MORONS.

Yes, the interface is /quite/ pretty, and yes, it's very easy to get used to. But it's designed for someone without the slightest inclination of how to do anything for themselves except run basic programs like Word and Safari. At least Windows credits me with /some/ level of intelligence- such as by allowing me fiddle around in the BIOS, as well as various other config options which mac users can only dream of. Macs are designed for people who'll pay someone to fix their computer for them instead of spending a little time to work out how it all works a bit and fix it themselves.

But since this is about the newest form of Windows, here's some things I really could use them fixing:

1. MAKE THE THEMES CUSTOMISABLE. I mean seriously, with such an enormous user-base as PCs have, you would've thought they'd at least try to harness that in some way, wouldn't you? I don't particularly like any of the standard windows interfaces, so make it so that I don't have to resort to a home-brew patch or 3rd-party app to change it. Please.

2. Streamline the interface for people who know what everything does. I don't need a button with 'start' written on it. I know perfectly well what it does. Most people who work in an office will use Windows for every day of their working life. So make it as easy as possible for them to do the things they do every single day. Perhaps this could be done by selecting an 'Advanced User' option when installing it. And get rid of those pop-up balloons, for crying out loud.

3. Get rid of the graphical effects that come with Vista. They're totally unnecessary and a bit of a cop-out, since OS X and Linux both have pretty interfaces without any need for a new graphics card.

This watch will be replacing my man-servant Jeffers, who I got move his arms gradually around in circles like hands on a clock in order to indicate the time of day. Fortunately Jeffers was only two inches tall, which allows me to strap him to my wrist. Unfortunately I fatally crushed him whilst hitting my fist in a frustrated manner against a table during a bracing game of Bridge with my friend the Earl of Sandwitch. As such, I require a new time-piece, of which this is slightly less rare than another 2-inch tall midget.

The only way they could possibly make that better is by giving it gprs/edge support and wifi/bluetooth. This is very close The Ultimate Gadget.

It's more than likely I think that this oled tech will start being produced shortly after Phillips' monochrome-readers are, rendering it entirely redundant and a bit silly.
