Yep RunTime, it was I, but I posted from my Mac Pro Tower as I was installing OneCare on my $400 Vista laptop:) Gotcha with another legit laptop reference!

Give me a break, RunTimeError! Robertsjoe dose-dived this thread within the first 6 posts, and then trolled it with more BS, and the only thing you are concerned about is MikeGalos mentioning Apple?

As if mentioning that company is heresy, but completely wrecking thread after thread, by some guy that does it all in the name of pimping Apple, isnt?

Sorry, it wasn't mike. It was the good doc that linked to the post. In any case, robertsjoe had hijacked the thread long before that.

Heh.

And a big congrats to MikeGalos for being the first person to bring up Apple in a non Apple thread. Again.

I mean, really. robertsjoe didn't even mention them in his OT post way up there.

There are many ads on the SciFi channel. There was a good Vista ad last night. Two nights ago, a nice Dell ad was followed by an iPhone ad. The agencies seem to know where the geeks hang out.

So, it's Windows birthday and everyone gets presents. MS is in the giving spirit and seems to be staying there. I see this on the iPhone, but don't experience it with Leopard. or at least personally. MS marketing has shifted out of neutral].

Microsoft's "I'm a dork" stores.

That's a funny name. "I'm a PC" will now become "I'm a dork". Done.

The Zune brand is the new Vista. Another dud brand.

"In other words, Microsoft is playing catch-up, and it's unlikely to catch up."

Of course, a reasonable attack could also be targeting Macs as zombies since with so little penetration of anti-malware most of them could run in a zombie army for years without their owners even knowing they were pwned.

Yes. The big targets lately have been computers in China being used as zombies by the Russian mobs for DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attacks against US and European targets.

It's a brave new world...
