Yes, USB support was only available in OEM versions of Windows 95 -- starting with OEM Release 2.1 ( http://support.microsoft.com/kb/253756 ). Windows 98 was the first with native USB support.

When you're essentially facing no competition (e.g., Windows, Office, 10 years ago) you can push a closed approach. When you're behind and facing two formidable rivals (Apple and Google), you need to apply a different approach. Apple learn

I'm surprised that WM7 doesn't support OpenGL ES. For the launch of the Xbox, Microsoft was very careful to make it easy on developers (e.g., with XNA, which was useable on the PC, Xbox and Xbox 360). This is in contrast to Sony with the PS

I assume this is sarcasm, but perhaps not. If Google is developing this automobile technology, perhaps it should enter and promote telecommuting technologies to reduce the amount of time that people are in their cars?

The key question is why would Google produce this technology and enter the autonomous driving market? I think one of the key issues for Google, from a corporate strategy standpoint, is "freeing up people's time." Driving is one of last plac

This is an interesting model. I just don't see how it fits with Apple's corporate strategy of focusing on integrated hardware and software solutions, and trying to design and control every detail of the customer experience.

If Apple TV is integrated into existing brand televisions, then how does Apple drive revenues and profits? From selling the software and taking a small cut on media?
