Huh?
"If we just allow them to be in the cloud, then any time you said who you are, you are connecting up to all of the content, no matter where it came from."

No thanks. I will be in possession and therefore control of my data. But thanks anyway. Lame idea.

"Remember, it's all about software...The phone is becoming about software..."

No Bill, the phone is about communicating not having the phone for the sake of the software running on it.

"...the TV experience is becoming about software."

No Bill, wrong again. The TV is about the delivery of media content not about the software it runs.

"Your collection, it's up in the cloud."

Oh yes, I can see it now. Your content is on a server somewhere on the net where the media companies can more easily deny your access if they feel you are somehow in violation of their license. Or better yet they decide to mandate storage "in the cloud" so they can move to a more profitable pay-per-view model. Again, no thanks!

Vista?

Where to start here? How about the complete disaster it was to try an upgrade to Vista on a "Windows Vista Capable" laptop running xp on FAT partitions. It was a huge pain in the ___ and I finished it just to find that it was very slow, bloated and buggy. I thought I was using beta software.

Thanks Bill.
