When in college I noticed a huge distaste and distrust for Microsoft from the professors and students and geeks. I think there are a (irony?) majority of people who like to go against the grain. I also think that so many people dislike Microsoft because they are "the establishment" and they feel "in the know" when they tell people how horrible Microsoft is. For example, someone might feel more knowledgable for knowing that some security hole exists in Microsoft's browser and tells my mom, who had no idea (but for that matter, did not care and never will). But it occurred to me that I could go against the grain for actually sticking up for Microsoft and touting its (superior) products even though it earned me scoffs. But I had ammunition. See, I actually developed a web site built on linux and an open source database backend and apache that grew to 4,500,000 pageviews a month. My "opinions" were based with an equal-or-greater knowledge of the opposition. It may be COOL to hate Microsoft, but until they start making development environments that slow me down, or applications that dont all seem to JUST WORK together, I will love them... and consequently go against the grain.

I skipped the preorder fiasco and got mine at Wal-Mart by waiting in line 8 hours before midnight. Premium system. Very well organized and a pleasant experience. Anyone else?

I completely agree... i come from a background in Perl and while I grew fond of Perl, it pales in comparison to the environment and "cleanness" of c# and the other .NET languages. Sometimes it is really cool to be able to "compile and run on the fly" but I think something like VBScript or C#Script would be a better idea...

I like all these ideas except that there are so few votes as it is, that it really doesn't matter. I think you have something there with using the operator OR even if you didn't intend it that way. If a user meets any of your criteria above, they can vote.

That is so lame. Use Google Talk. It works over port 80 so if you can post here you can use it.

Weren't Wolfenstein, Doom, Quake all supposed to become movies? Maybe one did and I missed it.

Start-Control Panel-Add/Remove Programs-Cgywin-Remove I dont like or use vi or emacs. If you installed the pine newsreader, you'll get a great text editor, pico. Most things seem to be set up well in cgywin, but outside of something to "play" with, I can't imagine you wanting to work that way. To each his own.
