1. Comment - Palm unveils its European Pre rollout plan

   (Jul 8, 2009 - 7:17 AM)

   Only time will tell but it is doing well at the moment and is not sitting back. Multiple country availability, three OS patches in as many weeks. SDK about to be released. Applications growing (and not those crappy 49500 fart type/near useless Apple apps).

2. Comment - Vista's dead: Microsoft kills an OS and no one cares

   (Jul 7, 2009 - 11:09 AM)

   OMG I can't believe a couple of things
   Firstly that I have never come across this writer or site before. Well written, concise and logical is my response to the article. A lot better than some of the guff out there.
   
   The other thing is that there are so many responses on this site from readers (very encouraging and proves I should be linking to this site often)
   
   Now I think most people may have missed the major point of this and the associated stories written by this author on the subject of the desktop O/S. People have missed the fact that the O/S as an entity is becoming comoditised and will fade into obscurity by getting into an MS and Vista bashing debate.
   
   IMHO Vista is fine, I have had no issues on it from day 1 and I was running crappy old hardware and peoformed a standard install. Sp1 improved things but I don't think (for me) it was any worse than any other OS provided by MS. However having tried W7 on my netbook and compared XP and Vista W7 ultimate basically flies !
   
   I like W7 as it is light and does the job quickly and efficiently.
   
   However the real story is the O/S is irrelevant and I suspect we will see this decline happen in the next 5 year cycle. For now things will stay as is for many reasons. So it is worthless talking about how much better Linux, MAC or Windows is better as less and less people will care.
