Havok,

Unless you intend to sell your machine then you are in violation of the new EULA, as they (MS) added this to the EULA now:

"2. Authorized Distribution and Acceptance. To distribute the Software or Hardware in this Pack, you must be a System Builder" and accept this license. “System Builder” means an original equipment manufacturer, an assembler, a refurbisher, or a software pre-installer that sells the Customer System(s) to a third party.

Newegg is allowed to sell this because they do sell barebones systems, also if you try to purchase one of the OEM versions they are usually tied to buying a piece of hardware, (ie harddrive, motherboard, cpu).  With out the purchase of the hardware you cannot get the OEM software.

Now if they would only make these with a real amount of storage on it.  At last count I had over 35gigs of music, and well I never know what I want to listen to so I like to take my entire collection with me.  The new HD ones top out at 30gigs, and well that is just not enough room for me.

Here in the OC its back up for me and my friends.  I wondered why I had received my usuall 100+ texts messages today while at work.  A quick facebook logon let me know.  Seems to be up and working for now though.

I have multiple phones that use Mini-USB, personnal motorola, my work motorola, heck even my Jabra, uses micro, but came with a mini to micro adaptor, why not just use the mini, then I would not have to buy cables either, as all my MP3, Camera and just about everything else use the Mini as well.  While this is a great leap forward, I feel its still not to where it should be.

What ever happened to the day when you ordered a PC where you could click the OS box and select none?  I haven't ever really ordered a PC (only one Alienware Laptop), but I remember helping others and seeing that option.

You will not be able to use this on a computer running WinXP, XP sees USB drives as removable drives, and not hard disks.  Starting with Vista, MS changed how they were seen, and that is why you can use diskpart with Vista and higher but not XP

Sandisk Drives with the U3 file system will not work.  I have used this on both of my kingston drives with out a hitch. My SanDisk...fails everytime.

Actually in refrigeration system the liquid evaportates to a gas and this allows the system to cool, it is then pumped outside of the cold area, and changed back into a super heated gas, that is then pumped back into the system to evaporate and cool again, it much more efficient then boiling.

How is this new?  The only thing they did was shrink the process.  This is the fundamental principle behind any refridgeration system.
