Up there with "I couldn't care less" versus "I could care less".... What we need is a script that checks media, blogs, etc. for the phrase, and then autocomments, auto-letter-writes-to-editor, etc.. Scanning would be easy enough, but the robo-posting would be tricky. You are correct, and the usage bugs me as well… but I think it is pretty much a lost cause.

It's an expression from logic. You mean, "This raises the question..." “This then begs the question – will Windows 7 Home be capable of running on these machines with no noticeable performance degradation?”

Completely agree with your point on MS being afraid of a cheap version
of Windows. Makes sense – it is exactly why they should focus on
producing a single version of the OS rather than multiple versions
with inane features.

Hence the multiple versions of Vista and Windows 7, and the restrictions they place on what you can do with each version. (Actually, that last part is not new... they were doing the same things to Windows 2000 Professional and Windows XP Home, to stop you using them for server work).<br><br>As an aside, what's you beef with Paul Thurrott?

It starts to look like Microsoft is getting afraid of other companies, such as Apple, taking over their market share. I just don't get Microsoft at all, it seems they haven't learned anything.
