See that long key on the bottom of your keyboard, there? It’s called a space bar. You should learn to use that more consistently.

Spell check wouldn’t kill you, either.

It’s difficult to take something seriously that looks like it was written by an 11 year old.

Harry, you have to admit you liked my predictions. Just vague fragments like “new mac mini” and “vista will bomb” (Ok, I don’t think I mentioned that last one but still…)

“Windows 7 will fail to excite, but meet modest market success as a (late) market replacement for Vista. Microsoft continue to remain a powerhouse in the enterprise but increasingly less relevant in consumer markets.”–D.R. Gardner

I’d have to agree with that to some extent. XP is high ground. A ground in which to topple it, you’d have to do something pretty darn amazing. With Vista, we didn’t get that. We got another ME. With 7, I feel we might get that. But then again, we might not. Some features that were taken out of 7 (most noticable the lack of the classic start menu) are critical to me. I prefer the classic start menu. Be it on 95 or Vista. Again, it might do the EXACT opposite. Remain a powerhouse to the consumer, but become less relevant to the enterprise. Only time can tell.
