   I doubt this will remain for long, Google isn't going to allow a program leaching off there bandwith for uses other than email. Do you really not have the extra 2 gig's of space on your hd that you would need to connect to a slow network?

   You are right however alot the features you speak of have been around way before vista
   
   - fast user (xp)
   - time machine (win 2003, xp "Shadow Copies"
   - Parental Controls - (NT Group Policy)
   - TCP (2k3 server / vista)
   - signed exe's technically hacked up in win 95
   - native 64 (win 2000 server SP4)
   - translucent dvd controls (lol and win media player 11 not vista)
   - thumbnail preview (win 2000 and maybe ME i think)
   - front row (media center)
   - core animation (direct x in vista)
   - tagged downloads (sp2, ie 7 anywhere)
   - firewall (xp sp2 or win 98 with zonealarm for free)
   - sandboxing (2000 safemode heh i know but it is a "sandbox", vista )
   - address space randomization has been in use before vista and should of been on apple's os years ago
   - advanced searches (ms as well as a million others have indexing tools, as well as indexing has been around for years on server products of windows)
   - web history search (ie7 not vista)
   - search by filename ( your kidding right? vista?!? this has been around before that friggen yellow dog from bob existed)
   - icon mode (windows 3.1)
   - empty trash (meaning right clicking on the trash can?? if they just implemted this than we mine as well include a new desktop background as a feature too)
   - guest log in (this is iffy you have always had the option to login to win 95/98 simply by clicking cancel at the login prompt as long as there was no gpo specifying not to, nt had a real "guest" account but to this day shouldn't exist and I believe was scrubbed from vista right? and on the mac you could always create a username guest with now rights anyway so this is trivial, they just made a gui for a simple linux user account blahhh I like OS X but why bs your customers, 50 of the most relevant upgrades would of been more than enough to tote.... Apple considers the tinyist of changes a feature, how many open source projects does apple aquire a year ..? how many refernces to the open source projects they used for features appear on there site other than apache / samba / and several of the other obvious ones, time machine is an oss with there gui on it, hell even there os and safari is
   
   my spelling and punc. is way off, dont care to edit, sorry

3. Comment - Sony Announces PlayStation 3 Pricing

   1.0.8 (May 10, 2006 - 12:44 PM)

   It is crucial to the future of Sony's playstation division, not Sony as a whole. Sony's record label and movies pull in more money then anything else, do a little market research. Not to mention the royalites that are paid to sony for the chips and patents they own on alot of music devices. They have a very strong electronics department as well. Trust me, sony isn't going anywhere, playstation may hurt them if they don't do too well. But it would not put them under.
   
   This is speculating on something that is a given, of course it will do well. It's market in Japan will buy these things like hot cakes. And I can gurantee you millions of parents will be standing in line all night on the launch because its the first item on there kids christmas list.

4. Comment - Analyst: PS3 Delay Likely, Cost at $800

   They are not hurt, however, ATI will be outselling them by millions for the quarters that PS3 is not being mass produced. ATI is already getting uranteed millions in sales from the XBOX. So nVidia will not be hurt, but they will have bad numbers compared to there competitor. And numbers matter in the world of business not which is better hands down.

5. Comment - Icahn Warns Against AOL-Google Deal

   1.0.8 (Dec 19, 2005 - 8:11 PM)

   MSFT could also be a bad choice for AOL as well though. As Apple grows stronger there could be a day MSFT feels threatened by them. Which would cut off all support for AOL on Apple, and many Apple users are infact very fond AOL that have limited computer knowledge. As operating systems get easier and easier to just plug a router in with broadband and get goin, and more portals offering what AOL has for free. I only see AOL losing customers unless they make some new innovative changes. This is just my personal preference, but AOL and AIM are some of the biggest causes of all our clients problems.

   There are many things that can go wrong, however to my knowledge they are traveling to something around FL100, correct me if I am wrong. This is just pushing the envelope a little bit further, it is 3x that of commercial flights now. However in aviation, a lot of scenarios are played through and through and if anything as so much causes one person to doubt it, they go back to the think tanks. DC3's are still flown to this day, Northwest has a huge fleet of DC9's still. Those are 30-40 some odd years old; however still great aircrafts if maintenance is good. The point is this is truly the next step in commercial aviation, less noise, faster flights and safer. There is much less elements at that altitude then you deal with at 36,000 feet. Weather, bird strike, noise pollution, restricted air space, crowded airways are all problems us pilots deal with constantly. This is all something just to think about. I see how he meant no harm, but this has been a terrible year for aviation and referring to crashes in that manor is just not funny. Hopefully this coming year brings a much safer year.
