Microsoft complain about what they did... Remember the dr dos complaining about the fact win 3.1 was not working with their software ! Microsoft is trailing behind !

In my experience, an overheating cpu will shutdown the machine. 2 of my toshiba behave like this. The solution is to remove the shitty thermal paste they uses and put a better one :-) but, it is inexpensive to try it.

Maybe the problem is not the OS, but the hardware itself. I bought 1 mainboard and 1 modem, I had a lot of problem with their products. The same with our laptop where I work, always having compatibility and hardware problems. Maybe people understand and never buy a second acer product ?

see you in 5 minutes, time before the next crash ...

I like a lot bugzilla. Better than mantis and trac.

I don't agree with you. I already bought an AC unit. When I've seen that the most basic switch was not working (and the water get all over the floor), I asked for a refund and I did not bought another thing from that brand... So you can not say that this guy "rent" that product ...

Microsoft loves provider to add sticker on their products. They will create a certification process and any company will buy this certification, will put a sticker "microsoft genuine made" on the product or service .... I've heard for some canadian government contract, in the service offer the provider must prove they are using legal software. So it is not new.

60 days ~ 8 weeks no ? I also like very much the sentence" As seen on facebook " ????? and something I don't get : "IllusionMage is copyrighted under the United States and other World Wide Patents." We can sell a gpl software and we can get patent on it ? In the disclaimer, they says that the image are from blender.org and the filename to download is blender 2.5a1 ... is it an alpha version ?! ... Next!

Ok, what is great about putting server in a tent for 7 month. Is it the fact the server were almost outside or that multiple windows machine worked for complete 7 months ? i'm sure they will patent this and will pursue everybody using their laptop outside...

Nice! Where I work, we are with Bell... For 20bucks per blackberry, we have a 4mb dataplan ... WOW! Very nice from Rogers. I am surprised!

That is why you cannot have the information about the minutes spend and the data transferred directly on the cell phone ...

I use console ( ps3 ) for gaming, not PC. So choosing the OS for gaming is no more an issue...

When I use windows and I ask it to shutdown, he doesn't always do so... is this covered in the patent?

I works as an electronic engineer and I have a lot of parts I use for my different projects. When I start a new project, I have to use the same components, where it is necessary to have a database. I already used the phpinventory : http://www.phpwares.com/ And if you need something better, there is openbravo http://www.openbravo.com/ which is a real ERP ( based on Compiere ) which I plan to use for my new company. But as said before by someone else, it takes a lot of time and discipline to maintain such database, but it is very powerfull. If you create pcb, EAGLE ( http://www.cadsoftusa.com/ ) you can use a database when you create BOM and the software populate directly the BOM with the good components, which help you to keep your standard components.
