The Workplace Shell of OS/2 2.0 and above was much better than anything Microsoft had to offer at the time. Omitting it from this poll is a sacrilege.

The good old days when the only internet access you had at home was dial-up and you had to fight with your sister whether her calling her boyfriend or me being able to check
Boy, do I not miss them.

WebOS - for all intents and purposes a dead platform - has its own poll option, but Windows Phone 7.x doesn't? That's just ridiculous.

FrankNFurter writes: Once more George Lucas has been caught messing with the original Star Wars trilogy — this time for the Blu-Ray release later this year. What changed? He added Darth Vader saying 'NOOOOOO' to the scene where the Emperor is electrocuting Luke.
Leave Star Wars alone, George!

Now now - Schumacher is performing as good as ever. (Save for the occasional bumping into other cars...) His problem in his second career is the lack of a competitive car.

It was released to manufacturing on August 24th, 2001; supposed to be released to the general public on October 25th, 2001; actually in the hands of the public about three weeks after RTM thanks to the devils0wn release. Show of hands: Who of you used the devils0wn key back then? Yeah, that's what I thought."

Submission + - Microsoft planning app store for Windows 8 (neowin.net)
FrankNFurter writes: "Microsoft is planning a Windows Store for Windows 8 according to documents leaked to the Internet on Monday.
The application store will allow users to discover and download trustworthy applications and have applications and their settings follow them on Windows 8. "Consumers get applications they want, that they can feel confident in, that they can use on any Windows 8 device" reads one of many slides detailing the new Windows Store.
Consumers will be able to search on the web or locally on a Windows 8 machine to access applications from the store. Microsoft also details plans for application developers to help reach millions of users. One of the goals is to ensure licensing and monetization for developers is flexible with a transparent on-boarding process.
It's clear that the 'Windows Store' will be a software service Microsoft provides and hosts fully in the cloud. The company will likely build the distribution model on Windows Azure to lure application developers."
