...Gates has unfairly used his company's position as the platform vendor. Since Microsoft is the only software company that knows everything about the Windows operating system, its competitors have no chance of developing a better word processor. In any case, I hate the awkward interface and design of Windows XP compared with the elegance and user-friendliness of Apple's operating system. Masatoshi Nishikawa, TOKYO...
...reviews emerged, AT&T tried to play down the speed issue and play up the new experience provided by Apple's so-far well-received iPhone software. "It's not just the speed of the uplink," says Carlton Hill, an AT&T Vice-President. "It's about the processor speed on a device and the application design that enhance the customer experience.

The laptop Microsoft loaned me to test Vista had 2Ghz and 2GB, so be careful not to buy more Windows than...
Sony execs point out that similar barbs were hurled at the PS2 when it launched in 2000. Yet the PS2 became a monster hit, and still outsells even the 360. The Cell processor, moreover, isn't just going into the PS3. It will find a home in hundreds of products--horizontal, remember? As for Blu-ray, at worst it loses to Toshiba as a movie format but lives on in the gaming world as a top-notch platform...
