We have a winner. No more discussions on this topic. mmmkay sigh . . . . .

Partitioning does complicate backups and HA/DR scenarios as the entire system is dependent on all machines being up and running. Also in most commercial db's (I know about db2) this feature takes you to the enterprise tier of software which is usually very expensive.

It's kinda pointless and possibly dangerous there's something cool about a USB port in a brick wall. It's like plugging into the unknown

well theres a tech reason why its delayed and this could certainly lead to interesting debate and solutions. Get off your high horse

I was thinking the same thing the other day. I know i never managed to finish either legend of zelda or jackal on NES. I downloaded the emulator the other day and still cant get past level 2 on jackal even with saves and reloads.

They have had it for a while. Turbotax.com

Yes they are. Only once you figure out how to actually get to that page.

Ok my definition of vastly improved is definitely different than yours More eye candy does not equal vastly improved Just as an example the translucent bar at the top of every window. It makes reading the title difficult and serves absolutely no purpose. And u really like those big ugly icons? I Am not blind. And any one who says that start menu is bettter needs to get their head examined. I have to scroll just to get to the bottom of the first one. Click to open instead of hover. I love change but if it's for the better. I remember jumping to install xp when it came out. But haven't done the same either for vista or 7 I think eventually I Might just move to a Mac with xp as a virtual machine for my windows needs.

I don't think it's gonna matter I hate windows 7 I tried using it for 1 week and it really has a horrible user interface I recently downgraded a brand new core i7 to xp Icons are ugly The startmenu in just one level is stupid The flashy effects make the ui worse I can't figure out shit when trying to change network settings I could go on with these forever Seriously u can pry xp out of my cold dead hands. The only way I will upgrade is if they improve the usability.

Redundancy is good. Just not in comments

my bad. yeah that kinda blows.

this stuff installed assume just sits there till someone uses it. unless its used i dont see how it slows the phone down. with bloatware on windows most of the shiat is running in background processes like av, scanners, free firewalls etc etc. not exactly the same and not as bad either.

Amen Most iPhone sales are online. Its not that they want to look at the phone in the store. They want it subsidized. wonder why they dont go subsidized via tmo and att.
