PEOPLE STILL want Windows XP, the chairman of Asustek told the Taipei Times.

Jonney Shih said that Asustek is disappointed in sales of Vista and people are still bothered about software compatibility of Microsoft products.

The same article quotes an analyst as saying that when Microsoft fixes technical problems in Vista, sales in the second half of this year will improve.

And the president of Acer, Gianfranco Lanci, said Vista wasn't proving a lure for people to buy new computers. Luca said people will buy Vista when they buy new machines. µ

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?

Yes, companies should suffer an immediate death penalty upon being accused of copyright infringement.

Yes, the coppers said the company was breaking the law so it must be guilty.

No, the company and the people accused are innocent until proven guilty.

No, the company had millions of customers who have been harmed by having access to their data files cut off.

I don't care, I never used Megaupload anyway.
