Not gonna happen.)" Why not, for curiosity's sake? Or Linux, for that matter? Sounds like Zune won't play well with iTunes, IMO. And that probably isn't a coincidence. “(No “switch to MacOSX” comments please. Not gonna happen.)”

Why not, for curiosity’s sake? Or Linux, for that matter?

Sounds like Zune won’t play well with iTunes, IMO. And that probably isn’t a coincidence.

It looks really nice, although slightly slow. I connected my camera and, lo and behold, the Picture import works flawlessly, creating a separate folder per session, the Vista Photo browser and editor remind me a lot of Google’s Picasa. Internet Explorer 7 has tabbed browsing at last, and seemed quite stable and robust. In all, I was quite happy to have a working system again. But then I connected my iPod nano. The drivers loaded automatically so that felt normal. But ever since, my IE hasn’t worked anymore. It starts up, takes 100% CPU and does nothing useful. Every time I connect my camera, the Windows Explorer crashes. I can manually start up the Picture importer, sure, but for a system with almost no applications installed, that feels wrong. I get warnings saying applications and/or drivers crash, and that might be fixed in the next ‘Customer Release’.

I had no idea it was forbidden to take photo equipment for the audience. Come see me, I'll take your picture for a beer! @Frank:

I'll be there friday and sunday, and hoped to take some pictures, but the CC website notes you can't take any photo equipment in. Do you know if they are strict or will they allow an eos 350 with 2 lenses? :) Peter, you have special press-passes for Couleur Cafe?
