The problems with XP SP3 range from spontaneous reboots to
outright system crashes.

Within hours of its release, Microsoft (NSDQ: MSFT)'s Service
Pack 3 for Windows XP began drawing hundreds of complaints
from users who claim the update is wreaking havoc on their
PCs.

The problems with XP SP3, according to posters on Microsoft's
Windows XP message board, range from spontaneous reboots to
outright system crashes.

Well, it was sorta rushed with being only a few *years* after SP2. :)

  PS3 has outsold Xbox 360 in Europe

SCEE boss David Reeves has told the audience at the PlayStation Day conference that Sony is beating Microsoft in the console battle - in Europe, at least.

"I am delighted to be able announce today that we have sold more PlayStation 3s throughout Europe than Xbox 360 - even though they launched sixteen months before PS3," he said.

I really like the Xbox 360 and think it's a fine console, by far the best product Microsoft has ever produced.

Apple was the top.

Now it's very near the bottom.

What happened?

I seek knowledge only.

I don't know if I really want to buy a new Mac now.
With all the lies and bashing the Mac Zealots seem to constantly do - is it
worth it?

  M$ selling out

M$ has so deluded itself as it sells out the personal information of
Windows users to every authority in business and government across the
world that there are those high up in the corporation that really
believe that people actually want it's DRM.

It is like M$ thinks Windows users can't be trusted and need to be
told what to do.

Maybe they are right?
