Yeah I was amazed at how excited Windows users got with the new "instant on" feature of Windows XP. What it does is wake up your laptop and restore all your current work-- in LESS TIME THAN IT TAKES TO RESTART! It's amazing!

Someone I know was really amazed with the launch of WinXP because they no longer had a PROGRESS BAR for waking up from sleep. (It was an old Compaq laptop)

Well of course the Windows users don't get excited over the releases of stuff from Microsoft, because they saw it at an Apple release months earlier :P

I wonder what they'll think when Microsoft designs their new meeses (plural of computer mouse ) to plug into the side of the keyboard, and when the taskbar defaults to the top of the screen (like it ORIGANALLY did in the first beta on Windows 95, but Apple chucked a stink, and Microsoft had to move it to the bottom of the screen.

Do you have any screen shots of this? I've never seen (or knew) that!

Mice are little varmits that need to be caught. USE a tablet. (I'm one to talk). Steve Jobs got me going, just when I was craving for a G4 Powerbook, SALIVAAAYTING, he came out with something better. I never knocked the imac, but now I know serious PC users doing a 1-80. Rumors are Darth Gates himself is on one. On OSX. But only when he's with his 'guy-friend' on Mercer Island. He would never admit to having one at home in Magnolia.

KaZaA!Kazaa?

What does Kazaa do? is it a file sharing program like carracio.

In a move sure to shake the computer industry, Dell has announced that their keyboards will have a PS2 port on the side for easer access for a mouse. "This innovative move will make it much easier for users to plug in mice and other input devices. We expect that many of Dell's competitors will follow suit and release similar features on their keyboards" said a CNET reporter.
