Macworld 2009

Well, at least they focused on the Mac for a change.
iTunes goes DRM-free.
But what about the iTunes tax? All or nothing to convert existing songs.
Also, Microsoft raises Apple Tax issues.

CES

Ballmer keynote
Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2 public beta
Windows Live Essentials is finalized
Windows Mobile? No discussion of version 7, Zune Mobile
No discussion of Vista numbers (Why: SEC; earnings announce soon)
No discussion of Windows 7 schedule, SKUs (Why: Still working on it)
Schedule: WinLive Wave 3 first, then IE 8, then Windows 7
Confirmed: Only one Beta release for Windows 7
No discussion of Windows Home Server? Weird. I’ve had one of the new HPs for awhile … excellent
There are new home server partners — new versions of the OS are coming this year too
Xbox 360: 28 million sold so far

Software of the week: Windows 7 Beta available starting Friday

Confession, Like you couldn’t Tell

Iron Wil — Tue, 22 Jan 2008 16:29:15 +0000

Today, I watched the MacWorld Keynote for the first time and I loved the whole thing. I don’t know . . . probably just the reality distortion field . . .

This was the first time I have watched a Keynote. Despite Steve’s mistakes [which were a big deal to some], I really enjoyed his enthusiasm about the new Apple products.

My confession . . . I am a Mac Fanboy. Yeah, My friends have threatened intervention and my Bloodbrother has let me know that I have chosen the Dark Side of the Force. In my journey this last year to the Mac Platform I have come across a few challenges. My wife has adapted well, she is downloading her own apps [applications] and finding things for the 2 year old.

Speaking of which, I can’t begin to describe how much I really like the parental controls for the Mac granted #1 is still to small for random page surfing, or getting eMail from strangers; however, his account is set and locked. We are giving him time on it and putting him on sites like StarFall. Which he loves.

We are discovering new things about it regularly. It may or may not be perfect; but it is a great platform. No, I won’t go into all it’s glory. I don’t like to pontificate.
