in Bizarre: CNet writer claims that Windows 7 must have geek support or else on The Inquisitr
I disagree with your take and agree that geeks do indeed impact MS. The geeks are the ones who decide what goes on corporate desktops. If your IT department says we're sticking with XP because Vista sucks - what do you suppose that home PC buyer is going to want on their home PC. If the IT department says Vista is too slow or MS should have listened to beta users and they could have had a good product - what do you suppose MS should have done.

While OSX is a very good OS and clearly mac market share is increasing after the fiasco that was Vista, since it doesn't even have 20% market share - clearly the corporate market dictates what the consumer market is as well.

Syonix You are %110 correct sir.
I am a certified geek, and i have dozens of people who buy or not buy pc products based on what i tell them
Guess what, They are ALL still using XP.. why.. not because they saw vista, because I saw vista, and it sucked.

in Windows 7 Beta 1 to be released on January 13, 2009 on Windows 7 Center
If that is the case, I hope they remove the debug processes from the release version of Vista because it still is slow as shinola.

in Redmond, we have a Pwnapple! on iPhone-dev blog
Because I'm a moron could you please spell out exactly what this does?

Is this so I can update my 1st gen iphone (not the iphone 3g) and put the 2.1 firmware on it and make it work on T-Mobile?

Thanks

in Story Pitch: Microsoft’s “flattened” Windows 7 team and what it means for business on Scobleizer
Why does everyone always care about new features - just something to write about.

I work for a few thousand end users. They don't ask for new features - they want it to:

Boot faster
shut down faster
open apps faster
copy files faster

Most of my clients who use both mac and PC aren't dazzled by mac's gui - they are impressed with how much faster it boots and opens apps.

They don't need to buy new processors, more memory or "boost" drives - it just does what it is supposed to - work in the background so you can run apps quickly and browse quickly. Is this some secret someone is keeping from MS?

My clients never said - gee I wish I had transparent borders - that would make me much more productive. The companies I support never said - if only things were more rounded and easier to use for people that never used computers before and more frustrating for people who alread know how to do things on computers - we would like to spend money on an OS that does that.
