Ah, okay... *maybe i shud start reading this stuff more often...* thanks for explaining that though. Also! Windows Vista/Longhorn or whatever its being called now lol. What is going to be sooo good about it? I mean the glassyness looks cool but other than looks... I am not sure whats so awesome about it.
Just improves on alot of stuff, perhaps not as big as Windows 95 did with the old Windows 3.1 era, but still a good jump.
Plus Microsoft learning from past mistakes ( in general they have ) will introduce more programs to allow companies to advertise computers that can use Vista.
The new interface, will not be for everyone, which is why the changes for example ( speed of a copy ) (( I love the idea )).
It still needs some more work, and it might not be "worth" the money but I still think its a big leap.
G4tV and microsofts thing at e3, basicly what Microsoft has for "online identiy" is going to be grand.
Xbox + mobile + computer identity which means the following.
Your best friend on his computer, can tell that your not at home since you would be on your "windows mobile" using the same identity as you do on your computer.
WIindows Live Messenger interface was improved ALOT ( Windows Messenger AKA MSN Messenger 8.0 )
Granted its going to take some really good selling to talk developers to program, quality products that take advanage of these features.
In a few years when our phones have 8GB hds ( actually not that far off ), I see people sending reports to their computer, and being able to fax new contracts to their office via their phone using this same tech.
Of course many of that is already possible I suppose, but being able to send it to your computer via your phone, since your using a mobile phone with Windows Mobile can be introduce alot of things.
The main thing is Microsoft is going to do something we have wanted for while I am sure a network of people and being able to contact them at any point, even if they are out on a date or in the middle of a xbox game or working on a contract on their computer.
I mean sure we can do that now, but the interface will built into Vista, which means if broadband phones ever get a majority markets means, you guessed it, true networking expereience.
