The reason the Best Buy memo says Windows 7 is not just "Vista that works" is not that they are implying that Vista doesn't work or that Windows 7 is not based on Vista. It's training materi ...

I agree. If you're buying a higher-end netbook (with a screen over 10 inches and a processor faster than 2ghz) you're in the "high end" of the product spectrum, and probably want to be runni ...

Fifteen years of irrelevance! ...

I agree about the lack of extension support being a deal-breaker. I love how fast Chrome is, I like the spartan design a lot (it's great for my laptop with limited vertical resolution), and it just &q ...

Hey, I've had classes with Dr. Kane. :) ...

I don't understand what benefit these even pretend to have, since nowadays every major browser has a built-in search box which can be configured to your search engine of choice. Still some people pref ...

Because it uses the same driver model as Vista, you won't have to wait at all for Windows 7 drivers to show up. And I agree with Mr. Soper, the performance in the beta being as fast as a released and ...

I guess it's coming out sooner than we thought! As far as I know, the last "official" word was January 2010, but this pretty much confirms the summer '09 rumours. As far as Netbooks go: ...

It's kind of goofy that the actual release version number will be 6.1 but how often do you ever even see that number? It basically makes no difference so I guess if it means increased compatibility th ...
