I totally agree. On some boards I have to try several distros before Linux installs properly. I realize the variety of video cards, HDD/SSD, and CPU combinations are difficult to plan for, but if they can do it for Win8, it would be nice if they did it for Linux. I would certainly buy a board...

Last time I paid for cable was in probably 2004. Never had enough money to pay for the luxury when I was young and I've gone so long without it, I just don't care for it. I work in an industry that has relations with with video production and journalism. I was surprised during a meeting...

Don't forget the cost of combat pay, separation pay, special duty pays, and, of course, litigation costs including sexual harassment lawsuits. IMO, this only makes sense and it will be highly cost effective as long as we wish to participate in wars.

I don't understand the reason why the metro has to be forced down the throats of users. MS must think that we'll all get confused if we use the traditional desktop interface on a PC and the metro interface on tablets/phones. Why not allow users the option of a Win7 type interface (full start...

Wow, a new OS that is much like the old one, wonder why it takes so long to introduce it? Maybe they need to add more backdoors to spy on grandma typing an email.a

Sorry, wrong thread... can't delete...

Torrets are great for old linux distros; you can use http://www.oldapps.com/linux for popular ones.

Price the single greatest predictor of customer demand. Get enough people to try a Chromebook and Windows will be and "Office" product only, IMO. CowBoom has a 11.6 inch Chromebook for $120 today.

Thrill of the hunt? Limit it to 20 and people will clamor to get one. I had to get rid of an old mattress once. Found out that leaving it outside for free didn't entice people to take it, so I put a $20 price tag on it- it was "stolen" in less than an hour. Make it seem like it's a "steal,"...

Just what I was thinking... MS must be getting desperate!

Same here. Most of the people I work with (we all get work laptops) want a Mac and you can see the difference in frustration- PC folks who didn't know enough to request a Mac are pulling their hair out, meanwhile Mac folks don't know what the fuss is all about. If a family member or friend...

Ahhh, why aren't they doing this? That is a great idea! Why spend $300,000+ on tablets when at least one person on any table will have a smart phone or tablet?

Very true, but if the employees at your company are anything like the ones I work with, they need to lose files to learn the importance of backing it up. With Google Docs it saves on it's own, constantly. But even backing up using Dropbox requires and internet connection, so we are back to...
