So, Redmond is undercutting its own position on the market.
If you have no e-mail nor news-reader and instead you're
left with sticky browser as IE8 is, you better think twice
before you buy any PC... There is an open source or Leopard X
left...-

Vista Rookie is right "a browser should include an email client."
May be we should be more selective in future.

Windows 7 Beta Testers
Posted: 01-17-2009, 04:25 PM
I've been looking for sometime to get into the 'insider' group of beta
testers, yet no luck so far. My question is, where do they get these beta
testers and what are the requirements.

So far, Windows 7 has been very stable and had good performance marks,
finally persuaded me to leave Windows XP and even more impressive, Ubuntu
8.10 and Linux Mint. However, I don't think I'm just ready to shell out the
(probably) 300$ for the Ultimate final version.

I'd really like to participate in a Windows 7 discussion board/newsgroup,
aside of the public ones riddled with spam and comments posted by '13 year
old fail whalers'.
