Firefox keeps on beating IE slowly as Microsoft dominance keeps on getting diluted around everything they own.

The 60,000(+) k-12 students in my state would have to drive a minimum of 200 miles to even get a glimpse of an Apple store. Big cities are great, but small town America is what drives Walmart and elects presidents. Now if Apple and Wally World cut a deal... yeah, world domination. Boot Camps are pretty amazing.

I know Microsoft and its weather forecast for the cloud aren't perfect, but I wonder is this new Live@edu will be the "foot in the door" towards adoption by the younger generation? 5gigs email, 5gigs skydrive, granular control at AD, live spaces, activesync. FREE! I see a ton of k-12 institutions jumping on this band wagon, not to mention the crap load of colleges ann universties that already have. I know the ipod paved and the blue and orange clamshells paved the way for Apple, but maybe good 'ol M$ has a plan. Get back to attracting the kids and create users for life. I mean hell, I owned a MacTV and a Quadra...and I knew better.

Not only did M$ kick everyone in the ass with this one, they broke their foot off in it so no one would ever forget. I did hear that they will have cute themes...pear, grape, plum, maybe even Apple.

Fanstastic. Also do you likewise think that with all the Vlad UI growing power of ED 2.0 that you are in danger of MS taking you out? If so just lean forward onto that desk and slobber some more.
