Totally vicious and totally funny! 

Movie doesn't play on my iPod Touch. Does this mean I have to break down and 
buy the 3.1 OS to view the movie? [At least it's half price now.]

You really didn't miss anything significant.

It's really just another Mac commercial. You'l probably catch it on TV  
at some point. . .

Probably not. Exactly what happens when you try to access the link?

A good review of win 7 from the true blue king of the MFB's.

It is not a good review. It is a stupid review. Mossberg should know  
better. Remember those glowing pre-release reviews of Vista? It took a  
while to sink in that it was crap. Same for Apple's Snow Leopard.  
Initial reviews were superlative. Then we slowly discovered what was  
badly broken.

2009-10-23 Thread Rev. Stewart Marshall

I am getting myself ready to upgrade at least one of my machines.

I have one Vista machine and one XP that I want to upgrade and a 
possibility of two more.


I have 4 copies of Windows 7 upgrade (bought at half price this summer)

In preparing for the upgrade I have one major disappointment.and it 
is not with Microsoft it is with HP.


I have a number of printers hooked up to our home network and one of 
those is an HP.  I go to their web site to get Windows 7 drivers and 
they say they will not be ready till January 2010.  Major HUH?  My 
Epson's all have Windows 7 ready drivers but not the HP's says that 
Windows 7 has basic drivers already part of 7 and I would have to 
hook up with a USB cable to get them installed?


What is up with HP?  They should have those suckers ready for 
download on October 22nd not waiting till January 2010.

Yes I know the only good reviews are the reviews that carry your party line.
Shouldn't matter that he actually used it for months and you've never used
it. Much like your comment on android.   Heaven forbid you actually use a
product before you judge it.

No what's up with you. Any serious computer user is going to wait  
until at least SP1. January 2010 feels about right.
