If enough people complain, they'll stop. That's just how it goes. Quit being a coward.

Newton's Orbital Cannon? Gee, I can't imagine why they stopped listening...

You can't discount the fact that this is would be the first market release of a chip utilizing such technology. It's about time we step away from the copper.

I love Microsoft. As a software developer, I know the extreme challenges associated with producing an error free application (nearly impossible). Add office communication between a few hundred people and you have yourself a classic grade-A cluster thing-a-ma-jig. I know I'm not alone when I say XP has not been outdone yet by any other OS to date. Maybe we should just accept that XP is what computers were meant to be and that this is where they end. There are thousands of items that have yet to show significant enough improvement to warrant a breakthrough title. One example would be the toilet, which has yet to be bested some other method of "transportation". XP is has captured all the functionality we will ever need from an OS. Vista is to XP as bidet is to toilet; a slight improvement, but not enough to warrant mass adoption. Apple has captured the phone world because there was ALOT of room for improvement. As for the desktop, being able to move pictures around with your fingers isn't helpful in a business and I can't imagine how you would more easily be able to manipulate tables, charts and the like in a multi-touch environment. Maybe 2D games? Apple is inspiring at best but fails to provide anything substantially helpful to the business realm (iPhone can't do task list from exchange). Google is still a curious force with an eerie "tip of the ice burg" home page. I believe something "could" come from Google that changes the world, but with betas like Orkut, I'm not going to jump the gun on any conclusions.
