Comment on Heaven Help Us: US Army Adopts Vista by Random Soldier

Random Soldier — Sat, 20 Feb 2010 09:06:53 +0000

Of course, the US Military will wait for a few service packs to be released before adopting a new operating system. The move to Vista has more to do with most software developers moving away from supporting XP and newer equipment that is native to Vista. I understand your cynical point of view since most users on the network would prefer to go with Windows 7 and skip Vista entirely. Either way its a process of eliminating older software and hardware that takes years. Most of the training is to get the computer illiterate users up to speed this includes civilians working for the military. Just wanted to share my point of view.

cheers,

Random Soldier

@vara411

It’s subjective, but I doubt many people would call 138g light – that is roughly the same as an iPhone which gets similar complaints.

The shot you see was taken by me at CES in January, so the Facebook app wasn’t developed yet. You will find our full TrustedReviews review however here: http://www.trustedreviews.com/mobile-phones/review/2009/10/07/Palm-Pre/p1

I’m a huge fan of webOS, but I don’t think the Pre is its optimal hardware platform as yet. Then again, for a first generation device it is undeniably superb.

Most criticisms are fair, especially lack of an SD card slot.

But the Palm Pre? HEAVY? Come on… you’re grasping at straws.

Anyway the benefits of this phone far outweigh the cons. Many of the complaints (aside from hardware) are being improved upon with software upgrades. I’m willing to hang in there for it because the OS is just so darn good.

Cheers.

P.S. I have a hard time believing that you saw THAT Palm Pre in the wild… it has NO native Facebook app… at least here in the States.

@PaulieA – have to admit I’m loving that cast list!
@AustGr3m – I get the Bradley Cooper casting, but Sharlto Copley looks even more like face IMHO and he’s Murdock!

I personally think the only half way sound choice is Bradly Cooper as Faceman because he strikes me as perfect for the role

The rest however are so wrong for the part it scary, Kimbo Slice would have been a MUCH better choice for BA, he actually IS big and scary and a man of few words
