Will your PC run Vista? Don't ask Microsoft. (Engadget)

Mar 16th 2006 10:44AM this rating systems is trying to make pc's easier to understand for non-geeks, and that's a good thing. hey every new version of the Mac OS that comes out has extremely limited support for what they call "legacy devices". Microsoft deserves a lot of credit for trying to preserve both backward integrity with software and support for older pc's and hardware. Windows XP is like 5 years old already, and theyre getting beefed at all the time for not improving it enough. so now theyll come out with a new OS and peopel will beef that it's too new and too much better. give me a break! every few years folks ya gotta buy new and better pc's, get used to it and plan for it. my in-laws are still running win 98 with like 64MB of ram and they cant understand why it's slllooooooowwww. but theyre ok if i spend $300 of my time to defrag and try to clean the POS out. for the same $ they could buy a new dell with XP, 512, 80, dvd burner, and a warranty. bring on vista!

Seagate doesn't launch Wireless USB drives (Engadget)

Mar 8th 2006 1:23PM first off, i love seagate's form factor for these portable 2.5 drives. i just bought the 100gb version (for $1.50/GB) and it's great. i bought for portability and to use with my laptop. i use the usb cable which moves data and power, so no need for an ac adapter. however, will wait and see on this WUSB implementation, and what the cost is. i like the small & light usb cable over carrying the bulkier ac cord. seems to me WUSB drives would be a great solution for the static drives at home that never move and can be easily plugged in to the wall, but for those i'd suggest applying this technology to the 3.5 drives which are about 1/3 the price at $.50/GB. just my $.02

Apple planning multi-OS box? (Download Squad)

Nov 11th 2005 10:47AM if average consumers end up with systems that would dual boot mac/windows then they win. sure i can do that now with windows/linux but only tech-savvy need apply. and apple stands to gain considerably more than they could lose, i mean potentially every new pc buyer could consider buying a multi os machine, and why not if added cost is reasonable enough.
