Windows Vista Beta 2

The screenshots look nice and they also tell me a lot more than the pretty leaves.

The backgrounding says the new operating system is going to keep the user into Windows than try anything else that's not outside of it.

This is getting very close to the triple 6 mark the christians believe will happen in the future.

Should we add that new VISTA is getting idea from AOL about Parental Control on computer? ;)

I wonder how good the Parental Control will be at preventing kids on computer especially with websites. .

Windows XP Tablet PC Edition
Windows XP Professional X64 Edition
 
That number one isn't true, it was IBM biggest mistake by offering Bill Gate blueprint to IBM PC for him to develop a DOS for IBM PC. Bill Gate bought Atari OS for $50k amd reprogrammed it to work with IBM PC So, he created with permission from IBM two DOS. So he found a way to create a true DOS and have two versions of DOS to begin with. He decided to keep one for himself which is now called MS-DOS and gave IBM the other DOS which IBM called PC-DOS. IBM thought that IBM is getting good deal, but it turned out to be bad deal in the end and IBM couldn't do anything about it.
I don't know about number 2
That number 3 was half right and half wrong. M$ didn't steal Netscapre. Just that Netscape was the "Stand-alone" company that makes a browser. But because M$ got other marketing stuff to go with. M$ was able to bundle the IE into Windows while Netscape couldn't do that. And when people buy PC, there is IE, why bother Netscape?
#4 and #5, well every businesses always find ways to make consumers happy. Weather it looks like stealing or not. If Apple, or Mozilla didn't patent their program then it is their fault for not protecting their ideas.

"Type" was never used in software! They refer to "Version" When a programmer tweaking or change something in previous software and complie them, then it becomes "Another version".

Don't forget windows XP embedded, and Windows XP for the pocket PC.

So we've got

WinXP home, Retail/OEM (the install disks are different! you can't use an OEM key to install the OS from a retail CD!)

WinXP Pro, Retail, OEM, Coroprate. (again the difference is in the product key)

WinXP MCE. (only available OEM)

WinXP for the tablet PC, (I've only seen XP pro for tablets... don't know if there's a home version)

WinXP for PDA,

WinXP embedded (for thin clients)

WinXP 64 bit edition.. I think this is only available as XP pro but I've not looked into it.. and I think it might only be available as OEM, but again I'm not sure.

So, there you go, 10 or more variaties of windows XP.

Patents are a creation of law. Patenting software isn't possible in most places on earth because patents are supposed to cover inventions, not ideas and software is the flowing concept of an idea. The US is really the only country in the world that has really accepted software patents. Europe and Asia have, comparatively, realised how stupid the idea is and decided not to recognize them.

Besides, blaming the victim is simple idiocy. It's not my fault for walking home if I get mugged.


Meh. There's no reason to use Windows anymore. All I've seen of Vista has been the same as 2003 with the exception of the start menu and the control panel looking a bit different. Oh, and the default wallpaper is different. Whoopee. There's nothing new to mention. If it took them five years to fracking change the default wallpaper and put a new skin on it, why should I waste my money on it?

In english, M$ built the better browser and kill Netscape's spotlight. M$ make people love IE more. tsk tsk - brainwash! Now, thank to Firefox, it's ready to kill IE someday.... *crossing finger*
