Vista to 360 = Oil to Water

Hey Dave, Think I may have a solution for you. Ever heard of a program called VLC Media Player? Its a great player and now there is VLC 360. It transcodes on the fly so you dont need to encode anything prior to streaming. This is the link if you want to explore it further:

Good luck! P.S. It's documented with WMC 2005, but a quick look at the forums and seems it works with Vista as well.
More than Surface Appeal

of course anything thats microsoft someone has to always say. linux does the same thing, or something to that effect. seriously shut up! im sick of hearing it...anyway.. Microsoft Surface sounds really cool and i like the idea and just like most things it will fall in price if it catches on. i hope ill get to see one in person than watching videos. next we'll need holographic images that we can interact with!
Trying to Avoid WoW... and Failing

The game has changed TREMENDOUSLY! No longer are those super guilds around with the beefy looking gear. No longer do I drop my jaw in awe. 40 Man raids? No thank you, I think I will keep to the 25 mans in Burning Crusade. Not enough time for a 25 man raid? No problem! I'll go do a heroic instance (which is a basically Hard Mode, that drops those oh so precious purple goodness, epic items). The game has taken a turn from the EQ addicts 8 hour raiding and geared for the people who want to pop on for a couple hours here and there and not miss out. As far as little Drakh the Paladin is concerned, he is the single most effective healing class in said instances and preferred over a priest. Giving that his pvp skills has not softened since the days you have played, as a matter of fact they were redesigned to do more damage! Rogues however still do what they do best, doing it from behind... I have enjoyed WoW from its release and will continue to do so. Warhammer, however, is still looking mighty fine.
