First of all, let me say I think it’s f–king stupid when people make announcements using seasons — especially since, half the planet is different from the other. So, it maybe Fall in the US, well it’ll be Spring for us in Australia.

Secondly, Engadget are reporting that Ray Chen, president of Taipei-based Compal Electronics, was quoted as saying that “according to current planning,” Windows 7 should be on its machines by “late September or early October.”

Of course, they still want you to buy Vista — no really, they do. Reason that want you to is money and more money when you “have” to upgrade to Windows 7. Vote with your wallet people — wait.

Server 2008 R2 Feedback Fail

sikosis — Wed, 11 Feb 2009 05:03:07 +0000

Like Windows 7, Server 2008 R2 has the “Send Feedback” link on every window and after having a few problems, I thought, I might as well send some feedback.

I was then told, I needed to enter my product key and activate it before sending feedback. So, I put in the key and was then told that this key is unavailable to be used to activate this computer. Great … so no feedback then.

I guess Microsoft are sitting there thinking this product is awesome, because no one’s providing any bad feedback — no positive feedback either but hey — no news is good news right ?

Pity, the MSI Wind now BSODs within about 10 minutes.
