RIP good sir! Really enjoyed reading your articles. A part of EL Reg's soul has sadly died :-(

Eadon are you people in love?

Apologies as this is off topic, all I see is how many people commenting about Eadon. Does this person have their own fanclub? It is something to witness, almost a celebrity. All that from continuously bad mouthing MS.

*I want to get off this planet*

Past Repeating Its Self

Amazing how different civilizations all eventually go down the same path. Paranoia, taking away civil liberties from its people etc.

*No I am not saying this is what the world is doing*

If this is the information that we know, imagine what we don't!

Reaching new lows

Surely someone at MS must realise something is wrong; when they have to say that IE is the most power efficient browser? Is that it, surely there is something else to brag about?

Microsoft do you guys think that more people would use IE if it was available on OS X and Linux?

Another day Goes By

At this rate OpenOffice becomes more and more irrelevant each day. It is getting to a point where I wish someone would simply put it out of its misery. I am still upset that IBM discontinued Symphony, as I quite liked the interface.

Congrats MS

Congratulations Microsoft, you have managed to drive a loyal Xbox gamer back onto Play Station gaming! Sometimes MS I wonder if you actually realise what is going on, when you alienate your customer base what do you think will eventually happen?

Xbox One=Entertainment Center

Play Station 4=Gaming Console

Nuff said!

Netflix losing the plot?

A year ago I when I really managed to get into Netflix it was an awesome experience. Catching up on old shows and even at times a kiddies cartoon or two.

Now looking at Netflix with it losing all the streaming rights, the amount of content that has come off already is ridiculous. Here today and gone tomorrow.

I have cancelled my Netflix because of this. Netflix we watch you for the content you put on, not for the "original shows" you stream.

If they do not watch out Amazon might just over shadow them, sooner than later

More like Windows 8 RTM than 8.1

This product is what Windows 8 should have been when it was released. This makes Windows 8 look like it was a paid for beta when it was released.

Now if only Start Button can actually = Start Menu (we don't need a start menu/screen that takes up a whole screen)

This update might make the much needed improvements to Windows 8, however we will only know once it is released.

Looking forward to testing this though

About bladdy time

Regardless of what one thinks of Windows RT. It shocks me that MS didn't include Outlook in the first place. What were they thinking? Of cause want to do emails on a "mobile device" especially those that know Outlook from their work PC's.

I personally advised two people from not purchasing a Windows RT tablet because of lacking Outlook (they are MS Office freaks)

Now please allow some basic macros on this and then it might be more attractive.

HALO OMG OMG OMG

I used to be the hugest HALO fan ever!

However I don't think this game will have the desired affect. I feel that gamers have moved on from HALO I think this move MS should have done 18 months ago.

Only time will tell

Consumer is affected

These patent wars at the end of the day affect us the consumers. If companies would innovate, look after their current customers than arguing small semantics in court. Then we might actually see proper progress.

Ever since iPhone 4 and Galaxy SIII both companies seemed to have slowed down their innovative pace.

Book, Game and Food

What more could a person want. Get food from the same place you can stream online movies.

It is amazing to see how far Amazon has come since its early days. I foresee Amazon being the equivalent of the massive Walmart empire online.

When will they learn

Rather use these social networking services to show their view point. Instead blaming Twitter and Facebook proves the point of the protesters far more than that of the government.

Please make it cheaper than Spotify

Am I the only one who thinks that Spotify has become arrogant? High Costs and collection that even Deezer seems to have newer content

Hopefully this will give the much needed competition

12 Inch Untapped Market

Surely there are less 12 inch Tablets than their are 7 inch?

HTC and Windows RT I see you both becoming more and more irrelevant with each passing day.

Yahoo Spam

Perhaps if Yahoo were to re-brand their mail platform and make it as good as Outlook.com and Gmail then they might have a chance,

Until then any mail from a yahoo domain will go into spam along with a Nigerian Prince.

Mark really aggggg

To be frank Ubuntu has made Linux more mainstream (calm down Android fanboi's I am talking in a different context)

If Mark wants Ubuntu to take off, then more Unity crap isn't the way to do it.

Do the following few things

1) Bring out a Office Package for Linux (no not Libre Office) that is on par with at least Office 2011 for Mac

2) Bring out a proper mail application (no Thunderbird doesn't count) even better if it can connect to EWS

3) Easier Active Directory integration

Unity, Amazon Searches are not the way to do it!

Love Red Hat/Cent OS but HATE Fedora

Does anyone else think that Fedora is a steaming pile of crap. Each time I have used Fedora from 15 to 18 I have always managed to break yum.

Then fixing it always seems to be more trouble than it is worth. Pitty in many aspects I prefer Fedora to Ubuntu but as my hatred for RPM's is strong I'll stick with apt distro's

Fifty Shades of Kinky

Does this include partners that were kinker while reading 50 Shades and then went back to normal afterwards?

Of cause by the time we get either Surface in South Africa the world will have ended.

@MS thank you for taking your sweet time, I wanted one of these devices for some odd reason. However as you have taken so long I have come to remember just how much I dislike Win8. I'll stick with my iPad
