Talkback As of the 3/14/07 update from MS XP Home, my total Outlook account information including all emails, contacts, and mail account information has been deleted. This is a total disaster problem.

Blog Comment What a bunch of mean dinasours! You'd think that with all that coding expierience behind them, they could have laid on some knock your socks off graphical journeys, or synthesised some sound textures that you don't hear every day.

Blog Comment Sounds very half hearted to me, do you think the equivilent event in the states would have been like this? I'm sure they'd have got baked potato burgers or something. I'm fuming now, because I just paid a visit to microsoft update, and they offered...

Blog Comment As you'll see elsewhere on the site, we've had a look at IE8B2, we reported on its launch and we've run a photo story. Which is quite reasonable, I feel, for the second beta of the eighth version of a web browser!

Blog Comment Thanks Rupert for a most enjoyable story. You always tell it like it is, not what it is supposed to be. Keep up the good work. MS is great at telling the public what it needs, and then imitating someone else's work and calling it innovation, or...

Blog Comment Amen, Rupert. While some of the things MS did in your list could be considered "minor transgressions", there are two major ones: Not telling you what the "event" was about in advance. One has to wonder why they would do that - were they afraid that...

Blog Comment Having been one of those unfortunate, unfortunate six, I can testify as to the general uselessness of Microsoft's event. Our (very uniformly shared, and not just within the ranks of ZDNet, Silicon and CNet) reaction was not so much about the tech...

Blog Comment I'm no M$ lover. But this post is the most unworthy of reading posts I've seen about any product. I clicked on the link to find out what M$ plans to bring in the next version of the world's most used browser and all I got was a buch of self biased...

Blog Comment As many others, I am stunned to learn that "people used the Web for searching, buying things and talking to each other". Stunning! Thank you so much, Microsoft, for determining that for us! However, I am currently in a discussion with my brother...
