  1. Comment - Is Vista dead in the water?

    (Apr 11, 2008 - 6:07 PM)

    Interesting to note that many computer manufacturers are now offering to supply new laptops with XP or Vista, some even do not offer Vista at all because hardware drivers tend to crash (particularly graphics). I notice that certain flavours of Linux and also Solaris are being loaded by some companies.
    I don't think it's so much that Vista is struggling, I think Microsoft has lost touch with the real market. For a laptop, Vista is a joke, it's way over the top!
    From my stats on my own site, Microsoft systems and it's browser 'IE' are losing numbers fast. I would read from those that Microsoft is about to burst it's bubble!

  2. Comment - Indonesia lifts its YouTube ban

    It's sad that such racially inflammatory individuals who post videos of other text items that do much damage to global peace, can cause even more attention to their stupid actions by getting mass media coverage when everyone else is penalised.
    It is just as unacceptable for someone to post insults to all Moslem people as it is for criminals to hide behind any religious front, to commit crimes of any kind.
    I'm not a Moslem but would back any complaint where some small radical group's actions are used to form racist propaganda. Such people are no better then the rest of the extremists who cause so much misery around the world, possibly worse.
    MySpace and YouTube should be a lot better at reading their own Acceptable Use Policy documents. I have read them,.. racist propaganda is actually a breach of both AUPs!
