Ok, ok, if I give Apple dedicated one thing, they are pretty…  The devices that is.  Beyond that, there are a few issues that keep getting put out in criticism of these ads.

Microsoft and their new ads

Well, there are now finally some ads to combat the Apple PC vs. Mac ads.  Microsoft has decided to start what looks like a “real” ad campaign.  I have been listening to and reading the commentary from around the internet and it is all over the board.  The one note of guarantee was from the die-hard Mac crowd.  They HATE, H A T E, these ads.

Who buys Windows Mobile???

I love Leo Laporte and many of the others out there but as I was listening to the latest Windows Weekly, I caught Leo quipping about how few people must be buying Windows Mobile Devices.  Well, given that HTC sell 10s of millions of phones every year and they only make WinMo based phones, I would respond to Leo with LOADS!  They are also not the only company making WinMo devices.

Firefox for Windows Mobile

For whatever screwed up reason, Microsoft never bothered to put a full browser into Windows Mobile, EVER.  Even the latest WinMo version 6.1 does not have a good browser.  The only alternative out there has been Opera Mobile.  It is not bad but it does not support as many of the Web 2.0 features out there when viewing pages in normal desktop browser mode.  Opera Mobile 9.5 beta is a major step up from version 8.65 but it is still a bit problematic.

Windows Vista One Year Later

About a year ago, we(My Wife and I) bought our first license of Vista.  It came with a new laptop I bought for her.  I left it installed as I was curious and from what I had seen in the reviews, it was supposedly easily used by novice or average computer users.

At first, everything was neat and cute but I found it progressively frustrating and within about 2 months, my wife wanted it uninstalled and XP installed in its place.
