And the main advantage: after those 4 years are up, you will still have a working PC and all of those games you've bought for it. Whereas with OnLive you will have thrown away $720 and if you cancel the service you will have nothing to show for it.

It sort of worked out for her though, as she is now the Queen of Blades, leading an almighty Zerg armada across Terran space.

There's a place where it IS a good idea?

So I'd need about 54 bucks worth. That's not a bad deal.

Ha! That's where you're wrong! He got modded Insightful!

In your face!

I wuz 'specktin' it ta be ded shooty, wiv tunz uv gunz all over, and loadsa dat red paint.

Ah. In that case, MS might be onto something.

Though on a technical level I'd like to know how it prioritises which account to list when there's more than one.

That's precisely what OS X does. If a limited user tries to do an admin-level task, it asks for an admin account name and admin password.

If an admin account tries the same thing, the username box is already filled, it just needs a password.

FWIW, I'm left-eyed but right-handed, and I shoot pretty well with my English longbow. Not Olympic-standard, but I doubt that's the fault of my eye or hand :)

Yeah, well I require more Pylons.

I think we really need:

man women

I work for a major media management company (I won't say which one, but it's a number between 18 and 20, and we have American Idol and David Beckham in our stable). For the UK office (where I work as a support technician) we have about 200 users, 90% of which are now on Macs (and every week we're pushing more and more of the workforce towards them)

We're more than happy with the "anaemic" hardware line. MacBooks for 80% of staff, MacBook Pro for managers (and us down in IT) and Mac Pros for the video editors. The hardware is always as good or better than comparatively priced commodity hardware (we usually use Sony Vaios for the few remaining Windows users) but the software.... ...well, let's just say I do very little work. We're desperate to be able to roll out Snow Leopard across the company - Entourage is bloody awful - and the necessary switch to Exchange 07 means we can also officially support iPhones too. It will be a while before we're 100% Mac, and longer still before we can completely shed ourselves of MS software (the majority of which we've fund ot be unstable, insecure and difficult to use) but this Exchange support is a huge leap in the right direction.

Yeah and they really stood the test of time.

Yeah I use Acorn pretty much daily, and although it does a good 90% of what I used to do in Photoshop, the 10% forces me to keep CS1 installed (I refuse to update for feature I don't need)

Still no decent Illustrator replacement though.
