1. Comment - Windows Media 9 Series Makes Beta Debut

   (Sep 15, 2002 - 8:34 PM)

   Those instructions make little sense to me.
   
   If you have a COM .dll on a machine and it is registered, then all of its ProgIDs are already in the registry. What is the point of copying the .dll renaming it and reregistering it? An application which uses a COM component doesn't access it by the file path, it access it via the ProgID or the ClassID.
   
   If this isn't a COM .dll, then why would you use regsvr32 on it?
   
   Not trying to argue here. Am I missing something?

   If Media Center is Windows XP with SP 1, that would make it an OS wouldn't it. Or are you claiming that Windows XP isn't an OS?

   I love the player! I'm using it on two XP machines. It's played everything audio and video I've thrown at it. Hasn't crashed or skipped or anything.
   
   I also really love the autoplaylists.

5. Comment - Review: Apple's Jaguar is One Cool Cat

   (Aug 28, 2002 - 8:55 AM)

   Microsoft's vision was a PC in every home. Microsoft also was able to deliver on it. Apple may have had the ideas first (that's debatable), but Microsoft was able to bring it to market in such a way that the market bought it. Nobody, not even the great IBM was able to out do Microsoft.
   
   I'm not saying that I defend the means by which Microsoft acomplished their goals, but I will say that a huge part of business is presentation, marketting, etc. A great idea is useless, if you can't get people to buy it.
