Mar 5th 2010 12:27PM Hey, if you don't like it, don't buy it! I don't plan to buy it - my Zune HD is just fine ;-)

MeeGo: Nokia and Intel merge Maemo and Moblin (Engadget)

Feb 19th 2010 3:18AM Well, as a developer, I'm really hoping this takes off. Only time will tell how it will play out in the marketplace, but I really like it - I joined the web site / developer mailing list less than an hour after seeing the announcement.

Microsoft fires another shot at Linux netbooks by extending XP availability (Download Squad)

May 1st 2009 11:14AM All Microsoft needs to do on workstations and conventional laptops is fix the performance issues on Vista. There's nothing else wrong with Vista -- I've got a HP Pavilion DV4 laptop with Vista Home Premium 64 bit and except for the ghastly performance, it's fine. I don't plan to "upgrade" it to Windows 7 unless the upgrade is free.

But on netbooks, it's a whole other story. A netbook needs to run Office 2007, IE 8 and Skype. Period. The Windows version doesn't really matter.
