Paul and Leo starts out this week’s episode by talking Windows 7 in the context of today’s OS X Snow Leopard release. Paul points out that at the launch of a new Mac OS, people don’t worry about things working how they expect them to, but this is a very real problem for Windows. This introducing a lot of unneeded trepidation at every Windows launch.
After quickly going over the Xbox price drop and reliability issues, the guys move onto the issue with Microsoft Word and the current litigation going on in Texas over the matter. Microsoft has been ordered to stop selling Word due an issue with their “.docx” format, but they are currently appealing the judgment.
Leo and Paul also touch on Yahoo staying the search market, Apple’s FCC issue and Nokia’s new “mini laptop.” Closing out the discussion this week Paul drives home the fact that no one should be getting Windows Home Start Edition. Even slower PCs will actually run better with Home Premium Edition, so there is really no justification to get the lowest version unless price is absolutely an issue.
Windows 7, Yahoo competition, Xbox 360 prices, Word, Nokia, Snow Leopard, and more.
