1. Comment - Microsoft laughs off Apple legal request to kill TV ads

   (Jul 17, 2009 - 4:29 AM)

   I'm a PC Tech. I've been in the business for 20+ years and I've used both MAC and Wintel. I simply prefer the Microsoft OS model. There's nothing else to it. I know Apple and Microsoft users and they all say great things about their systems. I'll have to say, and this is to JinkWelby@hotmail.com as well, that if asked, the only reason that I recommend that they buy their kids Windows machines is that Apple is not used in Business in the same quantity as Windows. Plain and simple. The kids of today need to know the OS being used in business so they can succeed. Nothing more, nothing less. I know the value of OSX, because I have used it. I know that it is used more by artists than Windows. I really like the music writing software on OSX than compared to Windows. But OSX gets beaten as a business machine. If you have proper protection and educated users, you don't get viruses on Windows. Gone are the days of Script Kiddie viruses taking down entire servers for hours. You don't hear about the next Melissa virus because hackers are too busy trying to figure out the next social engineering phishing scheme they can come up with. Sure you'll have families come down with viruses, but that's because they're not as educated as they should be. Honestly, feature for feature, OSX and Windows are near on par. It's just a matter of what is used in the business world and what isn't.

2. Comment - AT&T to form its own 'Geek Squad'

   AT&T ConnectTech has been around for a while. It actually used to be CompUSA's desktop support team. Their techs are not employees, they are independent technicians who signed up at OnForce (http://www.onforce.com). I realize I just increased my competition by announcing it. But I make between $60 to $70 per DSL install with them. This is a great way to go for them. But please, AT&T, be honest about how you get your techs.

4. Comment - IE8 Beta 1 experiences Acid2 hiccups, while Acid3 is rolled out

   I generally am impressed with IE8, but what I find ironically hilarious is that MSN.com web pages do not render either not well or not at all. Otherwise I'm impressed.

5. Comment - How is Windows Vista Service Pack 1 running?

   (Jan 14, 2008 - 6:41 PM)

   Before SP1, my laptop always froze when I went into sleep mode. After it didn't. But explorer still takes too long when using the Open or Save dialog box. But at least I can use sleep mode without having to restart anyway.
