This is a question that
Michael Gartenberg has asked.
His article goes into a little detail regarding a recent experience regarding a pre-loaded Vista system, much of which is on point. I did note, however, a key statement made that highlights an issue Microsoft ironically helped, indeed forced, into the market —
he writes:
Of course Microsoft […]
".. there are no “new” privacy issues raised by Google’s acquisition of Jaiku; it’s simply the same old ones over and over again that we seem unable to deal with in any kind of open dialogue in the mainstream press." — why the NY Times got it wrong.
I’m trialling a lack of a graphical desktop background. More specifically, I’m experimenting to see how colour might affect productivity or perhaps more importantly, creativity.
Like a blank sheet of paper, I have virtually nothing on the desktop, save two AIR applets1 a small number of “in use” folders2 and a small mac-like applet bar bottom-centre.

“I don’t skim. I "imprint" on each item. If it makes an impression due to a variety of things that I look for, then I read. Then I share.”

It is highly reminiscent of the ubiquitous “spoilt child”, who at the worst possible moment screams “do […]
"If pick up lines aren’t your thing, let this beautiful business card do the work." — the successor to the douche card, via keo.
"While I do believe that Halo 3 could’ve caused poor movie theatre attendance, honestly I think The Heartbreak Kid has only itself to blame for poor ticket sales." — as usual the industry moves to blame everyone else when films bomb; nothing’s changed.
"I’ve bought a few at $1.29; I’m calling my lawyer in the morning and plan to sue." — whilst Gruber may well remark in jest, it’s within the realms of possibility (certainly given recent history) that *someone* in the Apple community will complain.
"NASA is extending, for a fifth time, the activities of the Mars Exploration Rovers Spirit and Opportunity." — the use-by dates have long since past, yet the little rovers that could continue to defy the odds, rolling across the unforgiving face of Mars.
