You know, having the European choice of colours is not better than just black. White and pink are just not good looking on the system (IMHO, at least), I'd rather not have them try to make it look like some kind of fashion accessoir.

I sure hope that "money changes hands", I'd like an example for future battery manufacturers so they'll remember to go for quality. The idea that one of Sony's little bombs could burn a hole into my beloved computer (or any of my body parts for that matter) does not sit right with me.

And yes, I had to take part in the recall program.

They do this for the DS in Germany. Very nice. :)

Get rid of Friend Codes? Whose dumb idea is that? The are the only way which guarantees that you can have a game without cheaters.

In Metroid Prime Hunters f.ex. with those darn exploits running rampant, playing with "Friends" and "Rivals" lets you choose your opponents. And by making "Rivals" of those strangers you like / who don't cheat you can build a community of fun people to play with.

What's to get rid of?

#18: Regardless of how you feel about the matter, stating Vista won't support EFI is simply not true.

And to your argument: Remember that users do upgrade their OS by buying a new PC. The PC I bought LAST YEAR is a 64bit capable machine, and now that Intel caught up to AMD, I don't think even the average Joe will buy a new 32bit only machine.

And even if he would, he would not care if his computer boots through BIOS or EFI. And if the user doesn't care, why should MS?

Oh no, Engadget, not you, too: Vista supports EFI.

The crippled 32-bit version of Vista won't support the odd mac-only combination of 32-bit chips, and EFI. The 64-bit version of Vista, will support the standard configuration of 64-bit chips, and EFI, just like XP 64 already does.
