Hopefully configurable?
I have 3 screen's with the Start Menu still in the middle screen. So I hope this "hot corner" doesnt literally have to be the corner of my desktop? Hopefully configurable or even optional....

My user details were on the list from EA, although the password was md5 encrypted it took about 1 second to reverse that online and reveal the password. Not a word from EA advising its customers about this even when it was clear within seconds of release that their customer logon details have been retrieved from them and released online.
Very poor EA!!!
As slightly annoying as it was, its already made me secure things of mine further and make sure I'm using a different password for everything. So at least lulzsec made sure people knew what has been retrieved which is a much better job than EA have done and opens our eyes to show how many times are companies getting hacked and we're not finding out about it!!

Although I wasnt talking about PSN, I said SOE! the other part that got h4x0r3d!
Yes I find it odd have said my suggestion of it being unsecure to just need a username and password to change the details and needs some additional way to secure it and avoid only needing the details that have been retrieved, clearly some people are stupid!
SOE setup only needed a username and password, let me do what I want with it, it seems yes I did get an email to say someone changed those details but I actually missed that, assuming it was spam/ads no doubt.. an after the event warning is not a good process, what if someone has changed their emails since??
I repeat.. pathetic SONY!
For the SOE network I didnt have to do any workarounds or special methods, I launched a game and was asked to change password on the SOE site, the site presented me with boxes to put my existing username+password in (the info that has been supposedly retrieved). I then put in a new password. That was it!?!
at the very least I would have had it initiate sending a link to my email to present a reset password page to at the very least help verify who I was with a method that requires more than whats already been leaked to change my account info.
Appauling Sony!!!
To a certain extent you are correct when the full picture is using a form of RAID striping. WHS didnt split files accross drives, it just replicated them so you always only got the speed of a single drive anyway making your comment irrelevant.
What MS have done here however is made WHS worthless. DE was the single best standout feature of any server I've ever seen. From a perspective of capacity and ease of upgrading hard drives using different sizes and even mix of connections to provide pooled storage with redundacy and upgradability without data loss was fantastic. I've used WHS for a few years now and was stunned by this decision.
I will now be looking at alternaives for a replcement to my WHS soon. MS=FAIL on this one :(
Not sure I follow this story? The UI is TouchFLO 3D but updated with new icon's, animations and a few other nice bits and now given the name Sense? This is still a WinMo oriented UI, originated from a WinMo front end (TouchFLO 3D).. not android?! Just happens they standardised on the word Sense!
You might want to re-explain this one!
25Gig for a full backup? are symantec nob's still living in 10 years ago?? This is surely only useful for netbooks these days!! 100GB would have been a more realistic starting point for modern computers.
I tried carbonite the other week and might sign up for that. unlimited storage for similar figure of $55.. now we're talking.
I have the HTC Touch HD and so far I think its the best Windows Mobile I've used, and I've had or used a few over the years. Watched an entire film on it whilst on a coach from the airport in germany and it hardly impacted the battery... approx 1/4 power used.
It does appear to suffer from the occasional latency and stutter when doing things in the touch interface, I'm assuming thats down to software rather than a 'crap processor'. A few times I've gone into screens I didnt want as I press, nothing happens, press again and find it spring to life and register both presses. I hope HTC/MS manage to patch that at some point.
Using the onscreen keyboard works very well and web browsing in opera is a much better experience than any attempt with IE on WM's in the past! especially on such a good size and resolution display.
Once again I see the usual 'who would use this shit anyway' 'vista is shit' type posts from people whom most probably never used vista and just following the other sheep.
@ Mark... I click the volume bar, and it appears! instantly!! not 2 seconds...suggest you have other issues?
Been running vista for a year now, business and at home, theres been a few glitches but no more than xp had pre sp1+2 im sure...
overall its a relaiable, solid, decent OS and hopefully SP1, and future SP's will improve it further!
