There’s just a wealth of “stuff” to try. Free, but beta.
Google has Labs, Yahoo has Next!, now Microsoft Research?

It is truly stunning. I’m going to get the book based on this map. While I immediately disagree (I’m a basically disagreeable fellow), I can immediately see the value of a possible “pair-of-dimes” shift. All we really control is our own thinking.

Move over Microsoft’s Office Live beta; here’s Google Page Creator!
Thursday, February 23, 2006http://reinkefj.googlepages.com/home
Move over Microsoft’s Office Live beta, and its free page-hosting option, that requires your credit card! (Why do I keeping hearing the line for the Wizard of Oz, “I’ll get you my dear, and your little dog too!”?) Google just offered an easy-to-use web page creator, called logically Google Page Creator, “beta” (whatever that means, since their beta is more stable than some allegedly production quality stuff I run, and 100 MB of storage space.
Note it’s temporarily overwhelmed. But, it’s a winner!
“Thank you for your interest in Google Page Creator! Google Page Creator has experienced extremely strong demand, and, as a result, we have temporarily limited the number of new signups as we increase capacity. In the meantime, please submit your email address and we will notify you as soon as we are ready to add new accounts. Thank you for your patience.”
I can see a lotta uses for it.

As if you didn’t have enough reasons to dislike windoze or windough … …
Thursday, February 23, 2006Lockergnome is reporting that:
“Microsoft recently made changes to the license agreement. A new motherboard is now apparently the equal of a new computer, and if you upgrade it you need to purchase a new Windows license. Microsoft’s new policy states: An upgrade of the motherboard is considered to result in a “new personal computer” to which Microsoft OEM operating system software cannot be transferred from another computer. If the motherboard is upgraded or replaced for reasons other than a defect, then a new computer has been created and the license of new operating system software is required.”
This makes me more intent of gitting off the Microsoft upgrade train. If the w95-w98-wme-w2k-wxp drill has taught me anything, then it is that you can NOT put new microsoft operating systems on old hardware.
No, my strategic direction is Linux and Open Source.
It’s cold out here in the real world, but microsoft is just to “expensive” in several dimensions.
