PC World's "Best of 2007" List

PC World has released its list of "The 100 Best Products of 2007" (despite our not being halfway through the year; perhaps they know something we don't about how the second half will unfold).

As a completely objective observer (ha) what caught my eye was the absence of one very prominent operating system (which won't be named here but it rhymes with "blista") and the presence of another one which was released in 2005 (Mac OS 10.4). Go figure.

#1 on the list? Google Apps (Premier Edition)

FWIW, Apple has more items (6) on the list than any other manufacturer, followed by Google (5) and Dell (4).

I "get" to be a beta tester for our organization's deployment of "blista" starting soon (soon as they get the image put together the way they want and it stops crashing.)

Can't wait.

Course...I wasn't all that productive to start out with.

So, will that make you "Da Blista Sista"?

I still miss my old VAX 11/730. She was quite the machine!

Maybe so, but I much prefer the Dyson. ;-)

The IBM S/370 was my Big Iron of choice.

Hmm..I wonder if I can get them to start calling me that, it has a certain ring to it. :)

Yeah, it's got that whole urbanrastageekfunk thing going that I've always associated with you. ;-)

It's good you pick up on that - cause I've invested lots of effort into making sure that my homies know about my rep.

I can't even type that with a straight face. Oh well.

I'm trying to stay as far away from "blista"as I am from "Intrajet Implorer 7.0" -- the former's a lot easier now, but it's gonig to be tough not to deal with it 18 or so months from now. Hopefuly by them they'll have Service Pack XXVII or whatever installed to fix all the problems.

OS 10.4 gets on my list of best product improvements if for no other reason than the light-years better file search function compared with 10.3 and before, which was the Inspector Clouseau of search programs -- type in the same data twice, but a day or so apart, and it would be just dumb luck if the computer came back with either the same results, or what you were actually looking for.
