"We can hope that this serves as a reminder to Microsoft of what we want and do not want in Windows 7. "

Indeed!  Vista was just loaded to the gills with features, features, features!  All that is well and good, but it needs to be at least as fast as the previous generation OS.  And actually, it should be faster - after all, hasn't programming advanced while the new OS was being written? 

Windows 7 could be XP with WinFS and DX10 and it would be a winner, IMO.  Lean and mean will do better than bloated, every time.

Really?  More Mac coverage?  Don't they have Macworld or something?  Enough!

Guns are just the tools - they don't do anything on their own. You were so close, try again.

What ifs? Come on. What ifs aren't enough to punish somebody - because it might end up being something bad isn't enough. Whatever happened to common sense? How about you sit the kid down and you ask him, "Why'd you make the map" and the kid explains why. And then you're good to go. Nothing about this kid shows that he was in anyway getting ready to do something, so that explanation is complete BS. Back to the what ifs - this kid got punished because his map MIGHT end up being something bad. How would you like it if you get a ticket because your car MIGHT be able to exceed the speed limit? Wouldn't like that much at all, would you? Or your guns taken because you MIGHT use them to kill someone? It used to be you actually had to DO something to get into trouble.

The quad core Conroe chips aren't hampered at all by the FSB thing, no reason to fix what isn't broken.
