Windows Vista
Amazon.com has started to offer Microsoft Windows Vista operating systems for pre-order.

You can own the Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate DVD-Rom at the price of $USD399.00 (or around $AUD523.00) and it will be available on 30th January, 2007.

However, according to Amazon, item can be shipped only within the U.S. for now. It seems DVD will be the main-stream media used. Geez, I'll get a new computer when Windows Vista is availabe next year, my notebook does not comes with DVD-rom, and I doubt it will be able to run those nice AERO-style animation in Vista... so I'll get a new desktop then ^^

Pricing info on more Windows Vista products
  • MS Vista Ultimate Upgrade - $USD259.00 (around $AUD339)
  • MS Vista Home Premium - $USD239.00 (around $AUD313)
  • MS Vista Home Premium Upgrade - $USD159.00 (around $AUD208)
  • MS Vista Home Basic - $USD199.00 (around $AUD261)
  • MS Vista Home Basic Upgrade - $USD99.95 (around $AUD131)

By the way, a new copy of Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate is over AUD500, I just think it's too pricey !!! Anybody going for a Linux switch and forget about their favourite MMORPG ??

Firefox 1.5.0.6 failed to wrap up a long string - 8:58 pm
Browser , Bug  -  poster 

Stupid Firefox 1.5.0.6 unable to wrap up one long url link in one of the blog entry, causing the whole page has a "wide screen" view.

The fault

I purposely put a space after the details.aspx? to avoid weird rendering in Firefox browser. Opera and IE wraps/breaks up the string on "-" but obviously Firefox doesn't treat that "-" as a point to break up long string glare
