The day before the apocalypse. The Vista ready laptop is false advetizing. No one is sure what Vista will require yet. Alot can change with the program between now and 07.

I'm sure Microsoft said that the LDDM (I forgot the new name for it) was completed? Well, atleast enough for people to make proper drivers..

They've been doing a pre-release thingy for microsoft parteners for the last couple of months. The one here in Montreal is scheduled for the 29th of this months, but i won't be able to go to it. I think one of my techs is going to be going. Think he's going just for the private screening of "A Sound of Thunder", that they're supposed to be showing afterwards and all the handout crap they give you at these things. I'll see if he actually retains anything they say when he gets back.

Vista Starter Edition? 3 Programs running max? What exactly does that mean? So you open your windows folder, get AIM Running and start realplayer and then u try and open my computer and it says "Maximum Programs reach, please click here to upgrade your package" ? or something lol?
I bet somebody will crack that somehow

In all honesty, I think Microsoft stopped calling it "Windows year" because of delays and setbacks. (And Win95 = MacOS '84.)
Or the quote-on-quote 'intended market' will extend the binary four at Microsoft and point Internet Explorer at www.linux.org.ps2cho said:
With regard to the editions...Starter Edition might as well be ripoff edition. It's almost criminal to sell an OS in today's day and age that is so deliberately crippled. "Sorry, you have three applications running...insert $50 to continue." Does anyone see a problem with that? With computers built with features that streamline multitasking, limiting the amount of applications operating at one time is roughly analogous to saying "If you have 2048M of memory, we're only going to allow you to use 512M of it, unless you insert $50."

Starter edition will not be available in our countries. It is aimed for use in developing countries, to stimulate PC usage. It is by no means meant for any advanced user.
