Or like it begrudgingly but still bash it out in the open because it’s popular to. I can’t believe the ribbon still gets so much crap. Overall it’s a better way to do things, and I don’t think I could go back to the menu driven interface of older versions of Office.
I really would prefer it being your way. But most importantly I want MS to make a compelling and user-friendly case for all the changes. Pack it full of useful features, so that it just becomes the next sliced bread.

Omg, you have a drive-in theater near your place? I’ve never lived in the States, but I figured those things were dying out. I would really love to go to one of those things someday.

Oh man, I can definitely second that. It’s unbelievable how annoying a bright-as-day screen can be in an otherwise dark theater, especially if the guy is in the row right in front of you.
If I ever pull out my phone in a theater I aim the screen at my chest, and try to get off as fast as possible. Maybe this just doesn’t bother these people? I think I’m going to carry a small maglite with me next time I go to the cinema, as soon as someone fires up their phone for a lengthy text message I’m gonna whip this thing out, light it up and hold it in front of their faces.

And then what would happen to people with functioning non-slim boxes? Or maybe they’d just have to double the sku’s for every xbox game offered.
Think it through, there’s no way they could’ve done that, non on a current gen upgrade.

Well… they can exist. But it definitely wouldn’t be in the consumer’s best interest. People (and companies) need aspirations to keep growing, works best when you have competition hot on your heels. :)

I recently tried to get to the MSDNAA site, it seems like they’ve gone through a rebranding, and the software offering seems to be solely dev tools. Am I visiting the wrong page?
It was awesome how you could get windows for free from there, but I can’t really fault them for not keeping that going forever. A nice student discount would be . . . nice.

Warned for it?
I haven’t noticed much in the way of moderator action on the verge. Is it like gizmodo’s ominous “user has been warned and this thread has been moved to…” kinda thing?
Of course on a Jesus Diaz post it’s more likely to be, ‘user has been banned’.
