And for Server 2012?

You try clicking on the start icon in a Virtual Machine Console. Its next to impossible.

Re: Never understood the original MySpace but recently re-visited and...

That is exactly why I left it.

everyday, friends requests from bands - "Hey! Sorry for contacting you this way, but we think you'll love our shit!".

I drew the line when some rapper guy sent me a friends request "Yo, wassup bro, blah blah blah - check out mah tooons you'll luv em, peace out", when, quite clearly, my favourite artists featured bands such as Dream Theater, Spocks Beard, The Flower Kings, etc.

"...floated the ad firm"

FINALLY - its real description. Its an advertisement board with a social media aspect bolted onto the side.

Re: suspect data?

I think this report is solely based on retailers. Online sales and digital distribution will certainly not be factored into this. So can we say the games market itself isn't doing too badly, and that bricks and mortar retailers like Game are feeling the strain? I guess so.

and by the way, it was the same SD card. Model number and everything.

@AC 12:18

Hear hear!

I remember searching for an SD Card for my camera. £25 at Currys (apparently 10% off), £12 at Amazon.

I understand overheads for retailers as I used to work for a retailer (non electrical), but still you don't have to take the p*ss out of your customer. It just offends them.

But if Amazon did oblige to pay taxes, would pay that little more?

Still, the service is good.

Joke

Re: Why has no one posted a "Microsoft Tax" joke yet....

A guy from Microsoft walks in to a UK tax office and says "I'm here to pay my tax bill".

The tax guy laughs and says "You know, I had a guy from Amazon come in asking to do that same thing! How funny, you guys never owe us anything, why now? Come on, lets forget about it and go and get ourselves a Starbucks Caramel chocolate amerilattecino double cream coffee with extra sprinkles? I'll buy. After all, it's not my money.".

Corporate bullshit

And this is following news that Surface hasn't really taken off as well as Microsoft wanted it to, and that corporates are not planning a Windows 8 upgrade at all?

Sorry, but I do not buy into this.

Of course, is she is referring to the number of £14.99 upgrades sold on new PCs, and the upgrades available to Volume License customers, then I guess that is almost believable.

But to say more people were eager to upgrade to 8 from a previous OS? Bullshit. I tell you something, I know people who don't know anything about Windows 8, and that is the god honest truth. And to the rest who have only just upgraded to 7? No way, we're only just getting used to this version as I've just upgraded from XP.

I like Microsoft, I work for an MS partner, I don't mind their products, but their corporate bullshit irates me.

Megaphone

Whatever any PS3 owner does this year...

...I highly recommend Okami HD, whether or not you played the original PS2 version. Its brilliant with or without the Move support, it looks awesome and it's one of the best PS2 games that ever came out.

Windows Live

All I ask if for Rockstar to not fuck this up by running all the online play through Windows Live again.

Oh please, please Rockstar, for all that is holy.

I went into a Comet the other day

Only to find that they were only discounting goods by 10% and wouldn't budge on the price.

I can still buy goods cheaper online and from the store down the road, even after their "STOCK CLEARANCE" discount.

I'd hate to be one of their creditors right now.
