   How about some release notes?

   Review - TuneUp Utilities 2010

   9.0.2010.11 (Nov 16, 2009)

   When 64-bit was less mainstream and tweaks were all accomplished by reg hacks and other weirdness, TuneUp was there providing a decent (albeit convoluted) interface to accomplish what was easy and taken for granted in the 32-bit world.
   
   This is the 21st century. It is no longer required that someone actually know anything about the inner workings of an OS to effectively tune a computer (linux throwbacks to the contrary). That's why we no longer have carbs tuned by a screwdriver in cars. The dinosaurs who cling steadfastly to "the old ways" are only showing how pointlessly resistant to change they are - and how useless they have become in the modern era of computing.
   
   I've been a techie for 20 YEARS (yeah people, I stared with DOS 3) and I'd recommend this product to an average user who needs to he handheld.

   Given the quality of some of the code I see today, I'd tend to agree.
   
   Starve the buggers to death.
   
   There is a difference between "information" and the programs used to manipulate it.

   When information is NOT free, you have control by a few.
   
   No one in their right mind (unless they are a greed-driven corporate shill) should allow that to happen.

8. Comment - Microsoft damage control after marketer claims Win7 inspired by Mac

   Innovation?
   
   Stringing together existing technology and applying marketing genius isn't innovation.
   
   Creating technology is.

9. Comment - Microsoft damage control after marketer claims Win7 inspired by Mac

   9.4.12.708 (Nov 12, 2009 - 10:54 AM)

   Well, let's see.
   
   First off, Apple has never "created" anything. In this latest incarnation, they ripped off BSD and glued a "shiny" on top of it. Secondly, every company with a graphical interface ripped off Xerox Parc and added various aspects of "shiny". Thirdly, the Mac look and feel is, as I pointed out, remarkably restrictive, so whether or not MS wants to do spin on that (and it is spin), the fact remains that Windows is FAR more customizable and thus NOT a Mac look and feel.
   
   Take that as you will...

    LOL!
    
    Win7 inspired by the Mac?
    
    OK, an operating system that is eminently customizable is inspired by a tightly controlled, non-customizable, "do-it-my-way-or-the-highway" approach.
    
    Sure Jim.
    
    Yup yup yup.
    
    Some people have WAY too much time on their hands.
