  1. Comment - Performance drain: The first public perception test of the Windows 7 era

    (Nov 4, 2009 - 12:24 PM)

    The reason it's not relevant that ig ot slower is because nobody REALLY notices...I personally can't tell if my browser loaded a site in 300 milliseconds or 400 milliseconds...and if it loaded it in 400 instead of 300, I really don't care. The amount of time we're talking here is so trivial it's pointless to discuss. If we were talking about waiting 10 seconds instead of 2 seconds then I can see a problem.

  2. Comment - Microsoft wows Windows 7 crowd with Internet TV

    The only good thing about it that I like is you can control it directly from a media extender like the 360. I can't control a browser from the 360. There are other apps that aggregate internet video into a single app that you can use from a media extender, I like playon but it's not free and not without it's problems. Media Center isn't perfect yet either, I'm not too crazy about the UI, but if they can fix the problems and make this a GOOD single aggregated source for media, and included with Windows? I won't complain :)

  3. Comment - Microsoft wows Windows 7 crowd with Internet TV

    Uh...psycros? This isn't a MS idea...all MS is doing is providing a platform for what already exists, and so many devices try to give you (boxee, tivo, playon, hulu desktop, the list goes on and on and on). Media Center is just adding on that functionality....you've just been living in the dark.

    Also I don't know about you...but I can cancel my cable tv and pay $60/month just for internet access instead of $150 for internet+tv. The only reason I don't is because I would have no real way of watching sports in real time without paying DTV $350/season for their online supercast.

  4. Comment - Windows 7: Vista without the crap

    (Oct 21, 2009 - 2:12 PM)

    He's not "bashing" vista by saying that it was slower then 7...he's just stating facts. If you give me two os's, and one if 17% faster then the other, then how am I wrong saying that sthe slower OS is delaying me by 17%/hour that I use it?

  5. Comment - The 'Windows Phone' era officially starts today

    "The iphone is really flashy and cool, but the 6.1 WinMo is really more useful. If Microsoft could make Winmo more sexy for the shallow minds out there, then it would be more appealing to people like you."

    I think you hit the nail on the head with that one.
