Heheh, Mimeo always throws the best promotions at these trade shows. Kudos to our marketing team for getting these people to do shameless promotion on our behalf. ;)

Once again, Vista has fewer vulnerabilities than everyone else these past six months. What I find humorous is that OSX 10.4 has only slightly fewer than XP, but a higher number of them are unfixed.

Alright, maybe my VPN is slow, but I don't think that's the real problem here. It looks to me like Visual Studio repaints everything like 600 times when using it through remote desktop on Vista. I don't know why the performance is so bad, but I'm literally seeing like one keystroke taking a second or more to appear in text editor because it re-renders the whole viewport. Heck, just taking focus away and giving it back to Visual Studio causes every part of the IDE refresh/redraw with the same lag. Meanwhile if I open Notepad, Word or pretty much any other app I normally do text work in it responds great.

Anyone else experience the same thing??? Oh and, yes, I'm running SP1 for Vista.

In case you haven't been following the Apple news flowing in from the WWDC, Apple has officially announced the public beta of Safari for Windows. Very interesting move and very bold performance claims where they claim beating IE by 2x and Mozilla/FireFox by 1.6x in their benchmarks.

Unfortunately this means yet another browser to test on for those of us writing web applications. Let's hope Apple keeps this puppy up to date.

Argh, I've been bitten by the XBox 360 Red Ring of Death. The best part? All I was doing was watching a DVD when it happened. Not even an HD-DVD, just a regular DVD. :(

The sad thing is I was just getting ready to sell it so I can upgrade myself an Elite edition because I really want the bigger HD and the HDMI output.

My warranty is up since I bought the thing when XBox 360 launched... should I really have to pay $140 to have my console repaired though? Seems lame to me. All MS offered for my troubles was a free month of XBox Live. C'mon... ya gotta do better than that. I beta tested XBL and have been a subscriber ever since it launched. How about a free copy of Halo 3 or something? :P
