That's not Tokyo....

That's Makuhari lol. It's in Chiba so I guess it's Tokyo Metro Area, but...I guess Makuhari Messe is the only venue big enough for all these expo's
Did you try a boot-repair from the Vista cd? Apparently that fixes the issue you had.
This is a complete non-event. For the future please review what a security flaw actually is so you don't mislead the public. Word choice is key to being a good journalist.

Thanks for wasting my time.

The upgrade "hole" isn't the only concern. I just read this over at rojo and I'm asking myself (and you all) a couple of questions. First, here is what I read; "Webroot Software, one of the plethora of security companies that helps protect Windows users from attacks, said that buyers should be aware of the potential holes in Vista. "We want to make sure that users understand the system's limitations," said Gerhard Eschelbeck, a spokesman for Webroot, "and caution them that Microsoft's anti-virus programs may not fully protect them."
In testing, the company said, the new Windows Defender program failed to block 84% of viruses - including 15 of the most common pieces of malicious code."
Question #1. Why would I buy this, upgrade or not?
Question #2. Why is Vista made in such a way that I'm not protected from 15 of the most COMMON pieces of malicious code "right out of the box"?
Question #3. What HAVE they been doing for the last five years?
Question #4. Why would I buy this?
Question #5. Why would I buy this?
Question #6. Why would I buy this?
Question #7. Why would I buy this?"

If you knew anything of value you would understand that Windows Defender isn't an Anti-Virus program, it's Anti-Spyware / Adware. Read about what's included and you'll see that Microsoft doesn't cover virii, that would be an immediate anti-trust suit.
A couple of my friends have one.

"I love my little computing companion but I often find myself missing a full sized keyboard. I have been looking at several of these portable and flexible keyboards, but I can't seem to make up my mind about which I should buy. I don't want the keyboard to be overly expensive, but I want it to be good quality. Also, how difficult is it to type on these keyboards? Thanks!"
