Microsoft's page on Windows 7 SKUs confirms that Windows 7 Starter is the edition that supports "up the three concurrent applications", while Home Basic is for "emerging markets only".

So not only are you obnoxious, you're also wrong. And the guy you were sneering at was right.

Even assuming the recipient can get email on their phone, how are they supposed to know they have a picture message waiting? MMS was designed for this role, and does it much better than email, and (at least in Europe) is the absolutely normal and standard way of doing this. And it's missing.

Communism might have worked (or at least worked better) with competent management. Sadly, Stalin's typical modus operandi was simply to decree how things should be - which sometimes entailed radical cultural changes - then shoot or exile people he saw as standing in the way of that. Not exactly a Six Sigma approach.

Presumably it's because it's been proven in multiple courts of law that Microsoft has no problem with illegal acts that extend its market share. Sauce for the goose, my friend.

Woz was at IDF in San Francisco last summer. He spoke insightfully and lucidly for around an hour, then hung around for another hour or more signing copies of his book, iWoz, and chatting to delegates. Maybe his concentration was affected by the plane crash, but these days he's more switched on than most of the people in my office...
