Don't forge about XP embedded (I guess that is 7), but I was talking about versions people see when out purchasing a computer or online say at the Dell website.

It is a hard sell to get someone spend $100 more for Vista Ultimate when they have no idea what they are getting over premium??????
XP was done properly

Home - NO IIS and no Domain functionality
Pro - IIS and Domains for Business
MCE - Extra's to Home for media and graphics (used core of Pro and could be changed to use domains by editing registry making it MCE/Pro)

WIn 7 should have the same version scheme:

Home = XP Home
Business = XP Pro
Ultimate = XP MCE

There is a reason that no one change from XP to Vista and this is in part due to the poor driver availability and integration of versions that where available at the retail level for use on corporate domains.

Microsoft please learn from your past and make the right version scheme this time around.

No one used the upgrade feature that Vista shipped with this was a bad marketing decision.

The lamp is 2,000 hours NOT 10,000 that is the air filter
Let's see it could be that network printers do not function properly or the lack of drivers for equipment that is already installed or the incompatibility with equipment or interoperability issues... the list goes on and on, but it is getting harder ti find drivers for the newest equipment.

As one who actually tried this network, I can say it will not be missed. It never worked and had data rates so low that dial up was fast alternative.
They can innovate and drive the market or they can be a follower and let Verizon tell them what to do.

If Palm produces a product that is desired and utilized by their competition then Verizon will offer it or loose customers.

It looks like this will be a replay of the downfall of Apple again. Just like their failure to release the MAC OS in the 80's for general Sale as an operating system, only to be blown away by Microsoft windows. Again Apple has locked down their product while a new comer releases an OS that will run on varying hardware and take over the market.

WAKE UP APPLE! LEARN FROM YOUR OWN HISTORY!
Vista does not suck, it is far more stable then XP.
However, It uses way too much memory, it takes too many clicks to get to a simple control panel, and UAC is worthless. The best option right now is to set the UI back to Classic mode and disable all the unnecessary stuff that MS piled into it.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I commonly need to boot a system from an external disc and take a snapshot of the host system. I also then need to burn a copy of the image to a DVD. While I can do it with two separate external devices, and two power supplies, and two I/O cables, it'd be nice to find a small dual-drive enclosure. It would need to have USB, eSATA, and FireWire. Either slim-line or half-height bay for the optical burner would be fine, and space for either a 2.5- or 3.5-inch hard disc. Any ideas?"
