        <description><![CDATA[Windows 8 allows you to use the Metro GUI or the traditional Windows desktop as default if  it's the users preference. I have no idea where this idea that people are going to be locked into using Metro comes from. The future is clearly going to be a shared OS across the different platforms, not just Microsoft but Apple too are going down this route.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[unity (or perhaps all of ubuntu 11) was essentially unworkable for me.  i don't know maybe it was the bluetooth mouse, but nothing else has had a problem with it.  i never quite got around to getting zenwalk or arch up and running so i was using windows or mac laptops for a good six months, until i discovered bodhi linux, which has been excellent.  and i rely on ubuntu discs for doing grub repair/reinstalls but that seems to have become unreliable after ubuntu 9 and broken completely in 11.  it couldn't even install and run ubuntu on one dell (though windows still booted right).  bodhi linux has worked flawlessly (almost, sometimes applications crash, but they crash clean and in predictable situations, like everytime logging out of gmail for midori).  zenwalk works well and its grub installer detects the more popular linux types, and has better wireless in my experience than others bar ubuntu, only difficulty is the lack of (?) a system update function.  i will never go back to plain ubuntu after my experience with 11.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[QuickBooks is an accounting software, with many different variations. I myself am the CFO of a DoD contractor and we solely rely on QB for all of our accounting needs. Not just in our main offices, but also in a few retail locations we have on military post throughout the world. (In which case we use QBooks Point of Sale) The program(s) is easy to learn, easy to use, and very flexible in terms of backing up, transferring company files, handling large amounts of data input, ability to edit past entries, etc. As long as it is set up correctly the first time, the rest is a breeze. It all depends on the version one, or a company, runs for their needs. If you select QBooks Enterprise for a $1million company that repairs computers, odds are they are in over their head and will be a mess.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[better than Avast. In fact, I dare say it is better than all but NOD32; However I have found that Emisoft anti-malware, may actually be better than all of them, because if the mix of fantastic zero day HIPS and scanning engine. The scanner takes forever, but then it is surely thorough.I've never seen anything that can find spyware so fast on a PC!! The HIPS can detect all of them in 5 seconds flat!! This on average first install. After that it is instantaneous. If the malware doesn't move, it may not get tagged sleeping in the temp files. CCleaner takes care of those. This product went off sale today, I think. It was 8 dollars; for a year - I suppose. I've never purchased it, as I lucked into the limited time offer free version on CNET.I work for no one but myself and my clients - BTW.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[How about just the ability to hear a crystal clear voice conversation over landlines and 3G/4G networks?  It amazes me that in this day and age, about the only services from which I can hear a crystal clear conversation from both ends are those where the conversations take place 100% online on a proprietary system -  Skype, Google+ Hangouts, or other 100% VOIP service.Compare conversations on those services to the voice service you PAY for from Verizon, AT&amp;T, T-Mobile or any of the big U.S. coast-to-coast voice providers.Why does voice service still stink?]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I realize I didn't express that very well.  I was lumping bullets and numbering in my head because I think they are broken in similar ways.  My main beef with Word is that when something goes wrong it is very hard to fix.  And it is not just bullets and numbering.  I have had problems with section breaks, page numbers, footers, headers, you name it.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[My sentiments exactly. When I go to a site like this, or buy an industry magazine, I'm looking for factual information about new technologies and tools. Not someone's opinion about some companies management, about which they know nothing. Not some prognostication that is either so broad as to be meaningless, r is just wrong. And no acknowledgement when they are wrong.It happened with Byte (showing my age), in the late 70's, you learned something about some new technology from each issue, by the late 80's, all you learned was what new products had been released and what company was buying what other company. Same thing with any number of other magazines.Same with websites. They start out well, with lots of interesting information, then they get too big and the content starts to change to opinion pieces, fluff and top ten lists. Soon, you have to really dig to find anything with real technical content. Then the people that used to contribute the good content move on as they are no longer valued as the ones who make the site worthwhile. The subscribers then move on as there's nothing for them left, and the place dies.Is any of this sounding familiar?]]></description>
