Odd -- that didn't show up in a search, but your link works great. Thanks, Sam, I've been wanting this! (And thanks to EA, too, even though it took a little while...)

The results would seem applicable, at least as far as personal experience with DoubleTake goes. It's great, until you add a second row -- at which point, you're on your own. (Still possible, just fiddly.)

He's right, of course; but it must feel like a giant deal for this guy. Coverage like this will help!

At least he's got a bit of a sense of humour about it. I guess you'd have to.

I'm sure Jobs is proud of the touch's *success* as a gaming machine, even if he wishes it was for something else.

I'm with Tony on this one, there's quite a bit of good and/or famous software on that list. Some I own, some I'm interested in. Cheers, Daniel, and all the developers taking part. It's up to 57 at time of writing!

That's pretty clever. I know lots of "ordinary" people who have a kind of here-we-go-again attitude to Win 7; they're always told that new is better, and it always breaks stuff that used to work fine. (Kind of sad as it's clearly better than Vista). This ad plays off that *brilliantly*, and I could see it doing well outside of the Windows geek demographic (who honestly thinks these ads are meant for Engadget readers, eh?).

Like the idea of paying for content, not a particular copy of the content. Conversion is a pain. I'd want at least one concrete, in-my-hands-and-you-can't-deprive-me-of-it copy, though, not all of it in someone else's hands.

@Kai Cherry -- Thanks for that. Let's just say you shouldn't presume to know about my financial situation, m'kay?

I'm not saying something isn't worth that kind of money (which appears to be the straw man you're setting up), because clearly many apps are worth that much or a great deal more. Just agreeing with Octantis' point that by the time you know whether it's worth the money, it's too late. Personally, I shy away from any purchases of more than a couple of dollars if I can't try a free version first.

It only installs for your user account, so it doesn't need admin privileges. (Many installers still want them, though.)

I'm nit-picking, but I assume the guy means 1000kB = 1MB, not 1000B. :) That's a big changelog for a point-point-X release.
