Windows Vista is out

Today Microsoft Windows Vista went on sale. With all of their promises of improved security, I'm sure it will only be a matter of time until someone proves them wrong. Again.

I do have to say, I was impressed when Windows XP was released -- compared to Windows 98, even Windows 2000, it seemed a lot more stable of an OS. It takes a lot to invoke that infamous blue screen of death, but it is still possible.

If anyone has had experienced the new wonder child of Microsoft, feel free to leave comments here, or email me and I will post it here.

Dell buys Alienware

A friend sent me this:
It's Official: Dell Beams Up Alienware

I love my Alienware laptop. I love it. It's one of the most beautiful PC's I've ever had. Some of the best hardware available, their tech support actually speaks english, and gets me a response quickly. And I only had to call them twice since I have bought my lt a little under a year ago.

I used to really like Dell as they used to have a good reputation for the same thing: hardware that works, intelligent, useful support. In general I think they are probably the best of the mainstream comercial brands, but I don't think I will buy another Dell in the near future. Their tech support has become a masochists outsourced dream.

Leave it to say, I really, really, really hope Dell doesn't screw Alienware over.
