    Too bad they don't test the "code" more than they do. Service pack after service pack..Update..update ....update...cause we screwed up the first time....

    Sorry I just had to say it.

    This just in from ZDNet:

    "Will Windows 8 block users from dual-booting Linux? Microsoft won't say"
    By Mary Jo Foley | September 21, 2011, 12:05pm PDT

    Summary: Some are concerned that Microsoft’s coming Windows 8 secure-boot technologies and policies could result in users being unable to dual-boot Linux alongside Windows 8. Microsoft officials aren’t commenting on whether the worries are unfounded or grounded.

    At least the stuff mostly works, has tons of software, support options out the wazoo... Try flogging a Blackberry. That'll put hair on your palm. :D

    Actually, the "Windoze" part originated back at Win3.1 and I have updated it with each new iteration from [B]Mickeysoft[/B].

    I supplemented it with:

    Modern day upgrade --> Windows XP Professional x64: Windows is now a 64 bit tweak of a 32 bit extension to a 16 bit user interface for an 8 bit operating system based on a 4 bit architecture from a 2 bit company that can't stand 1 bit of competition.

    The Linux/Mac/Palm/Windows part I picked up off the `net some time back and integrated it into the Windoze statement.

    Feel free to pass it on. :)

    after getting off the OSX train I have to submit a change sadly enough

    Linux for DEVELOPMENT
    Mac for ANGRY BIRDS AND iTUNES
    Palm for MOBILITY
    Windows for PRODUCTIVITY ( with occasional hiccup )

    I believe that's a fair assessment.
