@cesjr - You know...you must like to pi$$ youself off. If I were as unhappy as you are about Paul's comments, I would just quit reading them and move on to something that I do enjoy. Your daily rants against Paul are starting to sound desperate.

I must say, I really like the graphic design and animation of the player interface on the Microsoft Video window. The build on of the player controls is sweet. Bravo to the designers on that one.

Windows XP was a great OS, there is no doubt. A great lineage of the NT code base but its time to finally put XP to bed. I loved XP but its time to move foward to Vista and Windows Seven.

Developers are simply waiting as later this year and into 2009, people will make the Vista transition. Last we checked, Vista notebooks and desktops are still selling and still outselling Leopard.

Sorry Apple, you've come a long way since Macworld 1997, but your still in second place. Good luck.

Vista's biggest problem? Idiots who have never used Vista and still complaining about it. Hopefully MS will start a Vista PR offensive in July or August. (Fingers Crossed.)

"Microsoft “super-pleased” with Zune. Do you believe it?

Nope."

Wonder why Paul doesn't call them "liars" then. Oh yea, only apple lies

Well, I don't pick on others, so I am allowed... (and my poke at Paul was in jest anyways).

"Ok [sic] Paul, but to be picky (I think you kill people for english [sic] mistakes), it's WRITE not right."

OK, Mudster, not to be picky, but it's "OK" and "English" (with a capital "E"). You also forgot to use the conjunction "but" after your comma that follows the comment in parentheses.

;-)

"I laughed right out loud, flipped out my chair and on to my butt. And when you're 55, that's a sign that something is dead funny."

Now that's the funniest thing I've heard in a long time.

re: XP on a Dell. I laughed right out loud, flipped out my chair and on to my butt. And when you're 55, that's a sign that something is dead funny. I will start reading your blog posts while standing.

You're right on the money about that "thoughts" business but get used to it, lazy is the new creative. And I will resist the temptation.

"Microsoft Videos is your central location for viewing rich media from Microsoft

Apparently, too many of you heard about MSN Soapbox, so we decided to start a new video site no one will care about."

Not another one?

Doesn't Microsoft have a directory of their own projects or they just don't care?

Paul, you should do this weekly. We all know there is more then enough material.

And until Vista achieves the same critical mass that XP has, software will continue to be written for both platforms. It would be stupid not to. And guess what, if you write software for .NET 3, you are actually targeting Vista, which just happens to also be compatible with XP.

"First, anyone who writes "Thoughts?" at the end of every single blog post they right is just lazy"

Ok Paul, but to be picky (I think you kill people for english mistakes), it's WRITE not right.

Also Paul, if you didn't notice: Microsoft Videos uses Silverlight, not Flash.
