Or has it left the 'corral' instead? If I spot a spelling mistake can I have your review model?

The activist winner was in part, a preachy movie which actually took ages to load. (maybe unfair there due to present excessive demand on the servers). My current (no pun intended) favourite is GEs Smart grid site with augmented reality. Surely the AR alone would warrant it a prize? No.

Nike lets the public know that women (or girls as the company labels them) are just a huge marketing target. 

GE with AR should have won, but to be honest, I don't think any global international should win. That is up to the judges though. It is like McDonalds winning the 'International Annual World's Best Burger Competition'.

All that has happened is that a bunch of leftie liberals and corporate types have degraded the Webbies. Don't cry over it. Just go back to your rigs and benchmarks where 'those awful folk' can't interfere with FACTS and be happy knowing that you are better than that!

When I installed Vista in Feb 2007 on my PC, I got a 'free' upgrade from XP and installed it over my four month old XP installation.

Vista has worked unerringly since then. I regard myself as something of a power user. I use the PC for my work (adobe CS2-3-4, 3D rendering). I use it to play games (Crysis, Half-Life 2, Flight Sim, Portal, CoD etc. Kaspersky AV tells me that it currently has 455 applications under its control. Except for a couple of weeks holiday per year, there has never been a day when the computer has not been powered on.

I have never previously used a machine that had an install last more than eight months (- Mac or PC) because I drive computers hard.

I can't be bothered with Vistas' detractors, because, for the first time, Microsoft truly got it completely right! Sure, it might not be a pretty Leopard or as jaunty as a Jacalope, but it is bullet proof.

I look forward to Windows 7. I think I will even celebrate its arrival with a core i7 host. I hated and loathed everything about Microsoft for many years and now that they get it right everyone else treats them like a pariah.
