Microsoft Could Lose up to 8.5 Billion in “Vista Capable” Lawsuit
Posted 01/24/2009 at 11:52:22pm
The real culprits in this may not be Intel or Microsoft or even the OEMs. It could have been that under paid, under qualified sales person at Best Buy, Circuit City, Office Depot, etc., that would just use the lastest greatest OS to make more sales while having no idea or concern as to whether the computer they were selling was capable of running even Windows 95. I have had experience with these sales people, and it is unbelievable what they will tell you to make a sell. I don't blame them because they are just trying to make a living. The real fault is with the companies themselves. All they care about is making as much money as possible and they care very little about the consumer. If they cared about the comsumer, they would hire qualified sales people so that comsumers could trust that what they were being told was factual. That may be why Circuit City is out of business and I don't doubt that more will follow. If corporate greed is not brought under control, our economy is doomed to fail.

In response to MeTo, Win XP did not come with media center. It was a separate version of XP all together and was mostly ownly available from OEMs.
The Legality of Open Wi-Fi

Yes it is true that most users don't know enough about wireless connections to secure them, but if they are responsible users, they could certainly hire someone to secure their network for them. I am often called upon to set up wireless networks for my customers and I always use WPA2 and MAC address filtering to insure that their network is as secure as possible. I also advice them to keep their OS, Anti-virus, and anti-spyware software updated. I protect my network from outside intruders and even though there are many wireless networks unsecured, I would never try to access someone else's wireless connection without their permission. This is not because it is against the law, but because it is the right thing to do.
