I don't see how this hurts anyone. It's like a Collector's Edition. Some people would pay for it, some people won't. It's just an extra choice. And by having this and thus improving the final full package, the consumers who only buy the full package would benefit right? I'm guessing alot of...

From Gamasutra, "The most notable trend in recent years has been the movement to digital distribution and payment for subscriptions, and the growing popularity with consumers of online games as a service," says PCGA president and Intel director Randy Stude. He continues, "In 2009, we saw...

"PC Gaming Alliance". I'm sure that's not biased at all. "most countries in North America and Europe" saw revenue decline "10-15% from record highs in 2008," with the growth of the "Asia Pacific region" market helping offset the decline. So from that fact, they inferred that "Most of that...

Screenshots show the option to use USB devices. It also shows the virtual applications appearing inside Win 7's start menu. http://www.winsupersite.com/win7/xp_mode_pre_shots.asp

Is the playback device output set to your speakers and not anything else such as the Digital Audio(S/PDIF)? Also plug in an earphone or headphone to rule out speaker issues.

That's not necessarily true. With limited memory and processor speed, a coder would be tempted to make "smart" and "clever" optimizations that they would never bother for a normal desktop application. And while that may be good quality from a performance standpoint, it might not be from a...

I wonder what would happen to the world if scientific theories are disproved by attacking the source rather than attacking the methodology.

I prefer MS's method as it tests the top visited website as opposed to just synthetic tests. Alot of browsers now seem to advertise that they are the fastest because of their JS speed. But that doesn't really translate well to real-world speed.

Well, they already created a concept store. Microsoft opens fake store to demonstrate utopian retail experience

IE7 in protected mode is pretty much a sandboxed environment. Even if there were to be a newly discovered exploit, it's access would still be restricted to the few IE related folders. AFAIK, IE7 with DEP and protected mode is the only browser that prevented the Ani exploit before it was patched...

The Asus disc includes 64 bit drivers as well as the bundled misc. Asus applications. The setup automates all the necessary driver installation for your notebook. Some of the 'random' applications in Vista might be the Asus services such as the one needed for your notebook special keys and...

Looks like Google has made its next move. Google wants extension to Microsoft Antitrust Decree Revealing the charges about the indexing engine so close to SP1 when they could have done it anytime during Vista's development was just sneaky. And now, using it as a basis for extending the...

Well, I have a "sneaky" suspicion that you already know what is going on and what caused the reboot. You just want to go on a rant.

I don't think the point of the article was to point out who copied who. The headline was flamebait really. She just thought it was strange that the crowd was "Oohing and Aahing" as if they have never seen those things before when they are similar to features that are already in Vista. She...
