nice phone

This is going to look good in my hand, roll on June, then I can hand over the S3 mini and Lumia 800 to the sisters kids

well durrr

Maybe turning off the "find my phone" location service will sort out the tin hat paranoids? Seeing as that's the option you seem to be discussing.

Dear oh dear

Lol... "server", I think we all get the drift and i think El reg is once again showing it's bias... £900 for a slow, non redundent "server" that's nothing more than an expensive media server. I would consider it for a 5 user workplace if it was £300

Bilderberg

Schmidt is at the bilderberg meetings today, he's obviously showing off how he can turn it off and one with a simple switch, prepare for mass net failures in the future

Blah Blah Blah

Same weather forecast that's predicted every year by the Linux crew... I think fish had a better success rate.

Ahhh El Reg

I see my replies are now being dismissed / censored / whatever. Very well El reg, I'm off, you're site and obviously now your moderators seem be a bunch of elitists passing judgments that sway to the minority rather than reporting to the majority, and of which the majority of who rarely know what the hell they are on about or what foundations today’s business is built on.

Just to clarify I enjoy reading and arguing the comments from other OS users and in some cases they raise valid points but I'm not staying around a place that censors my replies to validate my side of an argument,

you guys..

Will you lot ever stop moaning. At least a windows OS doesn't need updating daily.... I'm talking to you "crappy crud" or whatever you're calling yourself these days.

@Columbus

Not when they are one of the same.

Redemption

I am current working on a wind generator that produces 100W per square metre for £30, so don't worry everyone, I will save you all.

@ Why does it matter anyway?

Is that title a pun?

Prices

I thought XP goes legally for under $8 in China, what's the problem?

Why do google assume they can muscle in on everyone's site?

F*** 'em

Sooo

@Henry Wertz

Vista on a dual Core with 4GB will out perform XP on any task, I'm afraid XP really isn't built with parallelism in mind like vista was, I suggest you go out and use Vista on a 4GB dual core before you pass comment.

I can't comment on Ubuntu I have only used it on a single core 2 GB machine, and after spending ages setting it up with an Nvidia card and linksys wireless card, (which failed after installing the 236 updates I was requested to install) i formatted it after 3 days it really doesn't do much, alright for a home PC maybe.

@Martin Beckett

I'd slap it out purely for the GPOs, new redirected folders, additional peripherals and user security, some software is becoming vista only. Although I'd only do that on new machines as the general age of IT equipment restricts the wide spread deployment of vista.. Unfortunately, depending on what type of company you have it maybe the only way of stopping data from leaving your company boundries.

@Anonymous Coward

Yeah, tell me about it when you have an OS with natively supports Wireless connections on hardware from numerous vendors were you don't have to resort to numerous ndis commands!! I ain't saying shit because as I previously stated whatever comparable facts there are on the differences, improvements or bugs between the different OSs it's always drowned out by.... MS are shit, blah blah blah, baby killers.

I doubt I will be frequenting el reg much longer as you can find better technical articles in other places with comments from people who actually use the OS and have constructive criticism or warning about them and have actual jobs in IT and development, not a load of ill informed mutants who barely know how to use a home PC and like jumping on the latest hate MS craze

Soooo

Open Office has issues, it's Ok, it's not there fault, hey come on guys it's just the way software is you know?

MS Office has issues, Kill Bill, burn all MS developers children and piss on their faces, how dare they do this, what vile disgusting shit, boycot boycot burn!!!

Kinda sums it up, no matter we all really know which the better Office suite is even if you choose not to use it.

@Herby

What's Itanium got to do with x86, if I remember correctly you have to install the IA-64 compiles of the OS and who even cares anywho something better will be out next week, probably by Intel, then IBM, then Intel again then some obscure highly invested Chinese brand will wipe the floor with them both
