Re: Meh. Call me when the 10Tb SSD ships in consumer bulk.

Sequential write performance is largely meaningless for any drive. 4K random reads/writes are far more meaningful.

Europe won't pay more for Windows 7. Really!

Thumb Up

Excellent!

Pre-order prices...

£50 for Windows 7 - Home Premium (full version without IE) (including tax)

vs

$50 for Windows 7 - Home Premium (upgrade) (excluding tax)

...I'd take the UK pricing any day! I plan on buying 2 copies as soon as the pre-order is available.

Incidentally the x86 & x64 versions ship together on the same dvd, MS don't sell them separately any longer.

Heaviest Virgin Media downloaders face new daytime go-slow

Re: Think about it...

'e.g. Two people buy a mars bar. One saves some of his for later. The other has 75% of his stolen, simply because he ate a snickers earlier.'

Your analogy is flawed. You're not buying a whole mars bar, you're buying a chunk of one.

History repeats itself.

Apple has historically slashed pricing on products which haven't sold to their expectations, i.e the Newton.

Pathetic Search

Rather than spending time doing this frivolous stuff, maybe they can improve their awful search algorithms. Searching for 'Corsair GT' for example finds Corsair OR GT. Also narrowing categories usually is pointless as it just ends up showing all.

Dell cleans up crapware

Andrew Gratton

Start afresh

The first thing I do with any PC is reformat and reinstall, that'll only stop when they don't load any additional software.
