Seams to me, the only reason Microsoft makes a new version of windows is so that it can use more resources (with nothing running), cost more money, and give software developers just enough of a reason to make their programs incompatible with older operating systems. With Vista, Microsoft did a great job on the first two, but fell rather short on the 3rd. If I was in charge, a new OS would: use hardware MORE efficiently, use LESS resources, be more secure, and finally have a secure alternative to active x. Also, it would have been nice if they had included that new file system they were working on. On another note, it would be nice if they did a better job working with hardware manufacturers for their driver signing program. Maybe the problem is they are not thinking of new code anymore, just modifying old code. Maybe they should write the next OS from scratch, and NOT use old code to save time.

As ugly and under-speced that computer is, I've got bigger questions. What exactly are they suing verizon for? I read every last word of the original article that was linked, and i still don't see anything that says WHY verizon's etf's are allegedly illegal.

This case is a perfect example of how websites take advantage of their users. Every time you create an account on any website that lets you post, they make you accept a long user agreement that is so hard to understand that most people cant understand anything past the first paragraph. Most people don't consider what will happen to the work they worked on until after they post it, when its too late. Its pretty low down and dirty of anyone to take pictures for their adds off of the internet without crediting and compensating the artist. I hope VM has to pay for what they did, and Creative Commons should be forced to change their EULA and licensing terms.
