I am another Vista user who hasn't experienced any issues at all. From the moment I installed it, it "just worked". I just finished installing SP1, and it still "just works". I've never understood what all the hate was/is about.

Submission + - Nintendo to increase Wii production

Submitted by flghtmstr1 on Friday April 27, 2007 @01:36PM

flghtmstr1 writes: On Friday, Nintendo's president Satoru Iwata announced to reporters that Nintendo will be increasing Wii production after acknowledging that demand for Nintendo's new console was higher than expected. Is this a good decision, considering that ramping up manufacturing capacity is a potentially risky move if demand fails to stay at present levels?

RIAA Secretly Tries to Get ISP Subscriber Info 127

Posted by Zonk on Friday April 27, 2007 @11:53AM from the always-with-the-plotting-and-planning-are-they dept.

NewYorkCountryLawyer writes "In an attempt to change the rules of the game, the RIAA secretly went to a federal district court in Denver with an ex parte application. The goal was to get the judge to rule that the federal Cable Communications Policy Act does not apply to the RIAA's attempts to get subscriber information (pdf) from cable companies. Just to clarify, ex parte means that the application was secret, no one else — neither the ISP nor the subscribers — were given notice that this was going on. They were, in effect, asking the Court to rule that the RIAA does not need to get a court order to be able to force an ISP to disclose confidential subscriber information. The Magistrate Judge declined to rule on the issue (pdf), but did give them the ex parte discovery order they were looking for."
