Derek. Maybe Keith... though its a bit flashy for a Keith. You could have done better though - GENESIS or for the yoof market Windows Wack - then you could have had that great marketing opportunity of being mac or wack?

They used the codenames Blackcomb, then Vienna and then settled on the imaginative Windows 7. Definitely outside the box.

Or is it time to start upgrading my hardware? Things move on so quickly nowadays, it's difficult to stay at the cutting edge.

Cutting edge is so passe, the bleeding edge is where its at these days  :P

Cutting edge is so passe, moving forward the bleeding edge is the envelope pushing paradigm  :P

Are you sure you didnt go on a management talk training course rather than climbing holiday?  :P

Windows 7 was designed to have the intuitive feel of us hiring a thug to beat the shit out of you, getting you to pay the bill and then sending you a report listing which bones could have been broken better.

In the meantime, make sure you install todays security update

What a fucking shit excuse for releasing the update!  That its now being exploited more frequently is useless, it should have been fixed when it was first discovered/reported.  :wank:
