The Blog Of A Very Ticked Off Dell Customer
,----[ Quote ]
| I received my laptop in the mail yesterday and I was very happy. The
| moment I arrived back at my house I excitedly unpacked it and booted
| up my brand new Inspiron 1501 Laptop with all the niceties. It comes
| with Windows Vista Premium installed on it. Ten minutes into using
| the laptop I get a blue screen of death, which I haven't seen since
| Windows 98. So the computer automatically reboots itself, and I
| figure it was just a fluke...nope...15 minutes later....BSOD...again.
| I was having some difficulty setting up my wireless router, so I
| didn't think much of it and decided to restart again. Everything
| went fine for the next, say hour and a half. Then once again out
| of the blue (no pun intended) I get another BSOD.

Can you blame Dell for adopting Linux at this crossroad?

Microsoft Office Live migration is adding insult to injury
,----[ Quote ]
| On January 29, Microsoft posted to the Office Live blog a status update
| re: the migration. The news isn't good.
|
| Office Live logoBeta testers are still potentially "months" away fromb
| eing migrated to the final version of their Office Live services.
| Functionality like backup and restore isn't going to work until
| their accounts are migrated. And Microsoft will give testers only
| a 24-hour heads-up when they are set to be migrated. During that
| 24-hour period, users won't be able to make changes to their
| Office Live sites.

Office Live: Better Off Dead?
,----[ Quote ]
| Last month I killed Office Live in an act of self defense, after
| repeated access problems and attempts to move my domain to another
| registrar. Judging from the comments to that post, there's an Office
| Live killing spree going on. Not surprisingly, Microsoft wants to put
| an end to the wanton killing.

Microsoft using early Vista users as guinea pigs?
,----[ Quote ]
| Interesting to read in the International Herald Tribune this week
| about Microsoft hitting a 'crisis of confidence' with its new Vista
| operating system.
|
| [...]
|
| Sounds familiar? Your bet - it's almost an exact re-run of the
| security issues that affected Windows XP in its earliest days.
|
| Microsoft wouldn't be using its Vista users - as it did with XP -
| as guinea pigs, now would it?...

Windows Mail bug may expose Vista users
,----[ Quote ]
| Depending on what the malicious link tells Windows Mail to do, the
| threat to Vista users could be significant, said Dave Marcus,
| security research and communications manager at software maker
| McAfee. "Theoretically, attackers can do a lot of things; they
| will be able to pass any command through it," Marcus said.
