RE: Microsoft sees sense, kills
About the only limitation that doesn't make sense to me is the personalization features... I mean, wtf?
I would think that would be an easy hack, but why make it difficult? Other than that, the other limitations really are logical, given the platform, though it's stupid to keep it from streaming from another server. How will they inforce that?

Linux doing well on netbooks? Yeah, when Windows XP wasn't in the picture  transposeIT | 05/30/09
Actually, XP competition was there from the start, it was just that it was  DonnieBoy | 05/30/09
There are NO limitations using Linux!  no_zd_user_name | 05/30/09
Yup, a netbook is just a different form-factor  Zogg | 05/30/09
rofl  jdbukis@... | 05/30/09
Yes, precisely.  Zogg | 05/30/09
I doubt that  jdbukis@... | 05/30/09
50 GBP on a (say) 300 GBP net-book? That IS a lot.  Zogg | 05/30/09
Well you need to learn some perspective.  jdbukis@... | 05/30/09
Oh, so you're *patronizing users*!  Zogg | 05/30/09
Hate to burst your bubble...  devlin_X | 06/01/09
Good point ...  Adrian Kingsley-Hughes ZDNet Moderator | 06/01/09
actualy no not always buddy.  jdbukis@... | 05/30/09
RE: Microsoft sees sense, kills  bryantrv | 05/30/09
Distortion of my point of view  Ed Bott ZDNet Moderator | 05/30/09
Ouch ...  Ludovit | 05/30/09
I have to agree with Ed here  soonerproud | 05/30/09
Ed, get off it, you were telling us we should be happy with a neutered OS.  DonnieBoy | 05/30/09
your an idiot  jdbukis@... | 05/30/09
And, since what I said was true, and you had no argument, your only option  DonnieBoy | 05/30/09
actualy buddy  jdbukis@... | 05/30/09
The gist of what Ed was saying was very well summed up by the word neutered  DonnieBoy | 05/30/09
Please actualy read my post before replying next time.  jdbukis@... | 05/30/09
jdbukis: Again, read Ed's article, he is basically saying for netbooks you  DonnieBoy | 05/30/09
Your spelling is as bad as your reading comprehension  Ed Bott ZDNet Moderator | 05/30/09
Ed, you are grasping at straws. If the shoe fits wear it!  DonnieBoy | 05/30/09
And yet you can't quote a thing I said  Ed Bott ZDNet Moderator | 05/30/09
Ed, go back and read your article. You may not have said those EXACT words,  DonnieBoy | 05/30/09
Donnie, you're backpedaling.  MGP2 | 05/30/09
Ed is that one back pedaling. He obviously implied that you should be happy  DonnieBoy | 05/30/09
It seems you have a problem with the way we talk, and your only argument is  DonnieBoy | 05/30/09
Are you implying that?  MGP2 | 05/30/09
Well, if he said the EXACT WORDS or it has EXACTLY the same MEANING  DonnieBoy | 05/30/09
No he didn't.  MGP2 | 05/30/09
Yes, very clearly did. He described how you would be unhappy if you  DonnieBoy | 05/30/09
Ha! Now who's talking semantics  MGP2 | 05/30/09
If you understand English, and you read Ed's article, he is CLEARLY  DonnieBoy | 05/30/09
And, read Adrian's reply below, he put it even better than I did.  DonnieBoy | 05/30/09
Well then...  MGP2 | 05/30/09
Adrian is a Lord, I am just a regular talk back guy. Ed is a weasel.  DonnieBoy | 05/31/09
So, Donnie...  MGP2 | 05/30/09
That is EXACTLY what he is saying. He is implying that you ONLY need  DonnieBoy | 05/30/09
I gave you the link...  MGP2 | 05/30/09
Again, you have a reading comprehension problem. He clearly said you would  DonnieBoy | 05/30/09
(sniff, sniff)  MGP2 | 05/30/09
Again, go ack and read the article. Especially the following quote:  DonnieBoy | 05/30/09
Still backpedaling  MGP2 | 05/30/09
NO backpedaling, that is EXACTLY what he said, in a round about way.  DonnieBoy | 05/30/09
LOL  MGP2 | 05/30/09
I guess when you have lost, you are left with only arguing semantics.  DonnieBoy | 05/30/09
If I'm the one that lost...  MGP2 | 05/30/09
You pretend you do not understand basic English.  DonnieBoy | 05/30/09
NO NO NO  jdbukis@... | 05/30/09
Again, he was implying you netbook users would be happy with the  DonnieBoy | 05/30/09
No  jdbukis@... | 05/30/09
Yes, Ed may try to weasel out, but he said it.  DonnieBoy | 05/30/09
Really?  Adrian Kingsley-Hughes ZDNet Moderator | 05/30/09
@ed: Also ...  Adrian Kingsley-Hughes ZDNet Moderator | 05/30/09
You were right on with your assessment of what Ed said. Only a weasel  DonnieBoy | 05/30/09
rofl  jdbukis@... | 05/30/09
For those that know the English language, the meaning is quite obvious, and  DonnieBoy | 05/31/09
Realy  jdbukis@... | 05/31/09
Maybe we can call him by a new name...  MGP2 | 05/31/09
Only a weasel...  MGP2 | 05/31/09
I got the impression  jdbukis@... | 05/30/09
I dunno ...  Adrian Kingsley-Hughes ZDNet Moderator | 05/30/09
Fair Enoough  jdbukis@... | 05/30/09
Don't worry, MS will have to raise the 10.2 inch limit. And, right now,  DonnieBoy | 05/31/09
LOL  MGP2 | 05/31/09
So, not saying one thing implies the opposite?  MGP2 | 05/31/09
The future  dfolk2 | 05/30/09
Yep, it will only get worse for MS. Adrian was right on here.  DonnieBoy | 05/30/09
any proof of that?  jdbukis@... | 05/30/09
Not proof as such ...  Adrian Kingsley-Hughes ZDNet Moderator | 05/30/09
Pretty obvious ahat as prices for a 4 gigabyte, 2 GHz, 12" screen netbook  DonnieBoy | 05/30/09
rofl  jdbukis@... | 05/30/09
MS does not own the definition of "netbook", but, whatever you call them  DonnieBoy | 05/30/09
I was there, using a slide rule.  Economister | 05/30/09
Increase price of starter edition  P. Douglas | 05/30/09
RE: Microsoft sees sense, kills  GoodThings2Life | 05/30/09
Still, let the user decide what they want to do with the netbook. No need  DonnieBoy | 05/30/09
again stop being stupid  jdbukis@... | 05/30/09
Users are not asking for neutered versions with restrictions. Users are  DonnieBoy | 05/30/09
Rofl where do you get this?  jdbukis@... | 05/30/09
Well, MS wants to force users to pay extra for things that SHOULD come with  DonnieBoy | 05/30/09
Can you say ABMer?  MGP2 | 05/31/09
Can you say NBMer??  DonnieBoy | 06/01/09
NBM?  MGP2 | 06/01/09
Microsoft sees sense.  kozmcrae | 05/30/09
In any case, Linux is forcing MS to offer better value, so in that way,  DonnieBoy | 05/30/09
And yet...  NStalnecker | 05/30/09
MS is TRYING to snuff out the competition.  Economister | 05/30/09
Economics vs biology  CobraA1 | 05/30/09
I am not "Linux people"  Economister | 05/30/09
?  jdbukis@... | 05/30/09
Right!  shoshonski | 05/30/09
Good to hear they've removed that limit  CobraA1 | 05/30/09
RE: Microsoft sees sense, kills  jdbukis@... | 05/30/09

Ah, so you *really* know that people have trouble with *Windows*!  Zogg | 05/30/09
Yes  jdbukis@... | 05/30/09
You had probably installed Firefox for that user only.  Zogg | 05/30/09
no  jdbukis@... | 05/30/09
Ah, so you *did* install Firefox as a standard user!  Zogg | 05/30/09
Hello  jdbukis@... | 05/31/09
And  jdbukis@... | 05/31/09
"showing up" isn't the problem  Zogg | 05/31/09
And still I prefer the Linux way...  Zogg | 05/31/09
Oh, and to clarify...  Zogg | 05/30/09
hmmm  jdbukis@... | 05/30/09
Oh, gee, "certain apps"!  Zogg | 05/30/09
Ha Ha  jdbukis@... | 05/30/09

rofl  jdbukis@... | 05/31/09
Oh, I dunno  NStalnecker | 05/31/09
Hate to tell you Windows Folks  no_zd_user_name | 05/31/09
Very poor benchmark at least your reading of it.  jdbukis@... | 05/31/09
Adrian will be doing his own set of benchmarks for Ubuntu v W7  no_zd_user_name | 06/01/09
Quick!  NStalnecker | 05/31/09
Zogg you didnt use the runas option  jdbukis@... | 05/31/09
Forgot to mention  jdbukis@... | 05/31/09
Two points (again)  Zogg | 06/01/09
Both either way it worked for me  jdbukis@... | 06/02/09
To explain more  jdbukis@... | 06/02/09
Wow, what a mess!  Zogg | 06/02/09
Not realy.  jdbukis@... | 06/02/09
