Hi Bill,

Yes I saw this on the idiot box and it looks quite interesting. We are
slowly catching up with Star Trek. I noticed that if you place you digi cam
on the screen that it downloads the pictures. With my warped sense of humour
and this computer being called a coffee table, what would happen if your
girlfriend sat on the screen ?

The mind boggles lololol

Yep, Frankie Boy ... nothing like a big BSOD on ones coffee table. Talk
about innovation. Decades ago, every bar around here had tables with a
monitor embedded in it with a Pong game going. OK, so technology has
changed and now the graphics are better and a touch screen. But comeon ...
innovation? Hardly. Apparently this $5000 to $10000 table will be running
Vista. Now your coffee table can become a spambot. Run out and buy one,
<snort>.

Love and Kisses,
Doris

I thought Pac Man was an 80s thing. What's next, an MS Hula Hoop? Now
old Billy Boy and Stevie Ogre can rest assured that the fools who buy it
have only one Vista per table because they're, like Apple, selling the
software and the hardware locked together. Then, again, the Chinese will
probably clone the whole thing and sell it for $199 if it ever becomes
popular.

How much has xBox lost so far?

Seems like the only products MS makes good money at are the easily
pirated ones. I wonder why?

The jelousy really does fly when something that linux could never do comes
out. Poor doris, does it hurt up there on that stool? Maybe if you come
down, we'll be nice.

I bet it'll be as successful as the xBox. If Vista can do it, Linux can
do it better, btw.

Of course linux can! Their tablet pc, pda, and ultra mobile pc operating
system range is great!

Oh wait...

This is the coolest technology I've seen since I first discovered the

Now you're really showing your ignorance. Xbox is hugely successful! If
you happen to have read MS's original business plan for xbox, you'd know
initial losses were planned for to achieve market penetration. which has
happened, as planned.

If Vista can do it, Linux can do it better, btw.

Yeah right! That guy in the garage is busy working on it as we speak.

Not jealous at all. The world's fastest computers run Linux. If you have a
Tivo, it's running Linux. Every flatscreen TV coming from the major
manufacturers in Asia, are all running Linux. Linux is everywhere and in
more innovative products than you'd realize. <snort>

This ng is about Microsoft Vista desktop computer users who are seeking
help with their installations.
It ain't about linux servers, or linux embedded software or more
importantly, it is not about linux desktop.
You come in here to spread your misery and then you get your panties all
bunched up when people tell you to shove it where the sun don't shine.
You need to get a life cause its readily apparent your life with linux
just ain't working.

Doris that Jane Tiberius or jtiberius is the troll Julie Smith that has
morphed to create mischief...

You don't have a brain do you? This is a really, really stupid response.
