And let’s not forget “the goods”…

10/28/2008 10:20 AM – Bob Stein is here from Activewin and he just pinged me about his massive Windows 7 M3 review. Check it out!

10/28/2008 10:08 AM – The Windows 7 part of the keynote is done and my content is up. I’ll have part 2 of my Windows 7 preview up later today. But check the front page. There’s a lot there already. :)

10/28/2008 8:29 AM – OK, here we go. Get excited. Get very excited. Live coverage on the live blog throughout the keynote.

10/28/2008 8:01 AM – Our Liveblog is now available for today’s keynote. Check it out on the PDC 2008 page.

10/28/2008 8:01 AM – OK, we’re in the press room. Time for breakfast. And time to prep today’s big site update. :)

10/28/2008 7:03 AM – What’s shiny and new, and going to make a lot of people really happy today?

10/28/2008 6:48 AM – And because I never get tired of humiliating myself (and those silly enough to get caught in my blast radius), here are some pictures from the press and analyst party at The Standard Hotel last night.

10/28/2008 6:43 AM – Good morning from a still-dark Los Angeles. Keynote starts at 8:30, I think, but there should be a deluge of info then or soon thereafter…

Good point there, master. I was going to say the same thing. The mainstream coverage of tech is usually pretty one-sided.

The Wa. Post take on it: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/10/28/AR200810... "Microsoft says next Windows won't be as annoying" "Michael Silver, an analyst for Gartner Inc., said a smoother debut for Windows 7 is critical for Microsoft. "The real hurdle is to get Vista's reputation behind them," he said."

"Mary Jo sure likes stickers on her computer. I don't know if it's age, gender, using a Mac, or all three, but I just don't DO that." It's an essential part of the Windows Ecosystem "Experience". Take a look at whatever CrapBook Paul's running in that shot of the PDC hard drive. The thing SHIPPED with four stickers, and these clowns never take them off. Amazing. If you're going to sully your system with advertising for Intel, Microsoft and others, it's a short step from there to plastering other garbage all over your laptop.

"If you're going to sully your system with advertising for Intel, Microsoft and others, it's a short step from there to plastering other garbage all over your laptop." At least it doesn't have an Apple logo on it. One of those is all you need to completely ruin a half-decent laptop.

"It's an essential part of the Windows Ecosystem "Experience". Take a look at whatever CrapBook Paul's running in that shot of the PDC hard drive. The thing SHIPPED with four stickers, and these clowns never take them off. Amazing." It helps ID what the system is using. Sorry if it POs you that much. I prefer that they stay on. Besides you can remove them anytime. Soooo angry for an enlightened Mac user. "If you're going to sully your system with advertising for Intel, Microsoft and others, it's a short step from there to plastering other garbage all over your laptop." And all of those students with stickers all over their Macbooks are doing what? Let me guess it somthing so much more positive than those stupid PC users.

"One of those is all you need to completely ruin a half-decent laptop." No, Wae, the sign of a HALF-decent laptop is a DELL logo. The sign of an indecent OS is the sticker that says "Vista". ;-) <----all in good fun
