Read 3 and 4 posts directally above yours. They exist.

Well, the reason you don't see them everywhere is because they are a small start up business with nothing all that special to offer. They offer rebranded computers just like Alienware and a dozen others do and it takes time to get biger than your webpage. Look at Alienware. They have been around...

Such an elaborate hoax that they actually set up an 800 number and staffed a customer service center to fool people. Come on, if it's a hoax. Why would someone make such an effort and spend all of their money doing it? The number. 1-877-279-6155 Go ahead and call it. Won't cost you a cent.

I have seen the specific "L" or "l" or what ever it is on I think Tech TV. Trust me, it is a real company.

It's not a hoax. Someone contacted the owner last time around and she responded. Plus, they have public press releases sometimes. Plus, I've seen their monitor on some tech show a while ago. Most recent press release

The biggest one I can think of off the top of my head would be letting Gates one up them at the begining. I see it as two companies offering two different versions of the same thing. One company came out on top and the other struggles to uproot the lead. For the one on top mistakes come and...

That makes some sense but is a long path based on many assumptions. Many, many people have bought the products on their own accord. Pirating software has a huge effect, but I doubt it changed more than 10% of the population's perception of MS. Remember that most people just use the software and...

I really doubt MS or for that matter any company, counts the folks that have pirated their software when they count the User base. I figure it comes from the amount of licenses sold. The forced registration was quickly and quietly removed from XP. I, plus the many people I know that run XP...

I do remember the adds but don't remember exactally what was said. You recall them as having called it a properity linux based system? If that's the case perhaps they were targeting companies that use a properity based system. I have come across many companies that are using such. The software...

Your welcome. ;) I've seen the better emulation's but I just needed something that did not hurt my eyes, and this one fits the bill for now. Total Konfuzion: I have no complaints with speed or security while using XP. Just keep it up to date and it is fine. My only complaint with OS...

I had it like that for a while but it just got in my way since the File, Edit, etc... menus are attached to the programs. I typically hide the bar and go about my business. I'm not so much trying to emulate OS X, I just wanted something simple and it seems the majority of Win themes just...

Hmm, oddly the widgets seem to have addapted to their graphite enviornment and are now matching the rest. This makes my only complaint much smaller. BTW, I am really getting to like Expose on the 12" PB's screen. Really makes working on much more pleasurable.

I agree, the default XP look is as ugly as it gets. But the nice thing is how easy it is to make Windows look like whatever you want it to look like. Mine currentally looks alot like Panther. You can also easily change OS X around but I like it enough to leave it alone. As long as Windows is...

Actually it's called Background and is under the Desktop tab. I don't know where anyone got the wallpaper term?

I use graphite and have noticed the widget's in the Finder do not turn graphite. The sliding bar does but the buttons do not. I don't like that. In fact my only complaint would be the fact that the os is so un-uniform. With 2 different brushed metal's, widget's that don't match the other...

I had the song problem once, I just went to Advanced - Check for Purchased Music and it found the song and downloaded it. It should still be there. ---- Call Apple, they are the shippers and will help with the problem. Even if the carrier did lose it, Apple will have to contact them to...

Not to stir the pot or anything, but I got the worm. I fixed it by, between the random reboot's, going to Windows Update, selecting the apporiate patch, letting it install, rebooting the machine. I then downloaded the little cleaner that Symantic put out, it found the problem and removed it. It...

I figure, that with this attitude toward their customer's and the fact that they spam people quite often, they will not have a very good quarter. Sell buy.com, buy Apple. Hmm, wonder if they sell that?
