Yeah, I have to agree on this one.  A big F.U. to HP, how hard can it be to get these things out on time?  You only had like five years notice this thing was coming out.

Yeah a big one to Canon also for not having drivers for their very expensive digital copiers.  :banghead:

ChadTower:

It all depends on when M$ got their SDKs out to them.  M$ has a habit of keeping their SDKs closeted until the very last second so that no one can "out" bugs before the OS ships.  If those companies just got their SDKs recently, as tends to happen with M$, then it's not their fault they are lagging in supporting the new OS.

This related article is interesting.

It doesn't say if applications can install and run under the virtual Windows OS.

Just saw this on TV tonight and thought it fit into this thread nicely.  I'm not a mac person at all, but these commercials are funny.
