  1. Comment - Hackers Find New Vista Activation Crack

    (Dec 11, 2006 - 5:48 AM)

    This is all wonderful advertisement for Bill Gates and Microsoft's new OS Vista. The hacking community wants Vista desperately. It must be the best ever.

    Thanks, Kids.

  2. Comment - Zune Sales Lagging Behind iPod, Others

    (Nov 28, 2006 - 6:46 PM)

    I have been following the articles today about sales of the Zune on Amazon.Com
    I went to look for myself just now and did not understand why Amazon does not let you "drill down" further in the categories under Top 100>Electronics>MP3 Players to a selection, for example, of 30GB video and music capable mobile media players, which the Zune is only offered in, so far. As of 6:20PM on Thursday, Nov. 28th, 2006 I see the following order for sales of the above:
    1. Apple 30GB iPod video (BLACK)
    2. Not an a 30G Digital Media Player
    3. Not an a 30G Digital Media Player
    4. Not an a 30G Digital Media Player
    5. Not an a 30G Digital Media Player
    6. Not an a 30G Digital Media Player
    7. Not an a 30G Digital Media Player
    8. Not an a 30G Digital Media Player
    9. Not an a 30G Digital Media Player
    10. Not an a 30G Digital Media Player
    11. Not an a 30G Digital Media Player
    12. Apple 30GB iPod video (WHITE)
    13. Not an a 30G Digital Media Player
    14. Not an a 30G Digital Media Player
    15. Not an a 30G Digital Media Player
    16. Not an a 30G Digital Media Player
    17. Not an a 30G Digital Media Player
    18. Not an a 30G Digital Media Player
    19. Not an a 30G Digital Media Player
    20. Not an a 30G Digital Media Player
    21. Not an a 30G Digital Media Player
    22. Zune 30GB Digital Media Player (BLACK)
    In case no one in the press has noticed (seems that way), if you did have a category for 30G Digital Media Players and did not rank a device twice due to its color, you would eliminate the other items in the list and low and behold you would have the Apple 30GB iPod video at #1 and the Zune 30GB Digital Media Player at #2.
    Ironic as it sounds, shall we compare apples to apples, please? Great spin going on here, how about some truth.
    I challenge Amazon to create the sub-categories and let things rest in place properly.

  3. Comment - What Microsoft + Novell Means Going Forward

    (Nov 7, 2006 - 12:52 AM)

    Apparently, your thousands of customers (gosh your a busy man) all live in their own little bubble. In 15 years with a desktop on my desk, I have never opened any office related document attachment other than one from a current version of Microsoft Office as A) it would not likely make it past IT security and B) as garbled plain text, I would ask the sender to resend in a current MS Office format that I could use (and they would).

    Simple and to the point, $349 is squat for productivity. Squat. Please study the true costs associated with giving todays high paid profesionals poor tools before you spread this blather anymore.

    Real people in real businesses laugh quite loudly at all these comments. They have no factual foundation in the real world. Businesses today share information in a common manner or they are doomed and that format is MS Office.

  4. Comment - MS to Offer Free, Discounted Vista

    (Oct 8, 2006 - 7:26 PM)

    As Betanews has decided to add, remove and re-arrange posts here, I find it impossible to have any sustainable discussion here......try caching the pages to prove such as I have............the DVD reference was to an entry that said it would cost $100 on top of vista for get a dvd burner...........but if that is all anyone can reply to in my response, the rest stands quite well. BTW, this website is "Beta News", not "Trash Microsoft", or "Biased Reporting", as such, I do hope that I will convince all major ISP's and news org's not to link to your trashy website..shouldn't be a problem now.

  5. Comment - MS to Offer Free, Discounted Vista

    (Oct 7, 2006 - 11:22 AM)

    Well, seems all we have is former IT people who could not work with Windows well, and some old hackers making comments here so maybe a real Vista enthusiast should reply, and I am certainly one. I have nothing but great admiration of the folks who are putting together what will be one of the safest, most tested, and useful Operating Systems ever. Business, by an overwhelming majority choose MS Windows as their OS, as it is fully supported (try that with open Linux), it works with almost any recent driver set (this millennium), and all apps, games, web interfaces are all written for Windows Systems, then they are hacked up to be able to slug along for the others over time. People of knowledge, who are responsible in industry for huge corporations insist on these and many other attributes of a system that the others just do not even begin to offer. My Windows Vista RC1 is running flawlessly here on (2) different PC's. As for the free stuff, even if it's $99 for your home upgrades (volume and enterprise people always get discounts), with a life cycle of 5-7 years you are talking pennies a day for all this. BTW, i bought my DVD burner on Ebay for $9.99.
