		<description><![CDATA[I have completed the setup of the first two systems, specifically my primary Vista x64 instance and the OS X build.&#160; Rather than taking my existing configurations for these systems, I started from scratch with bare drives. This was partly out of a desire to keep things pure, and also because my primary Vista installation [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As a professional software engineer/architect I make frequent use of all three of today’s primary PC operating systems – Windows, OS X and Linux on a regular basis. To this point, each of them has fulfilled a specific role, or been required for a particular purpose.&#160; And, while I do categorize and view them differently, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Technologists and, I expect, most geeks in general, cannot have escaped the recent rumblings in the European Union’s anti-trust proceedings around Microsoft and the “bundling” of Internet Explorer with Windows. There has been plenty of discussion about forcing Microsoft to remove Internet Explorer from Windows entirely for Windows 7. How this is good for consumers, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What an absolute cluster-fuck. Re-subscribing to ZunePass has been a epic mistake.&#160; Well, okay, a $15 mistake.&#160; Not really epic considering I drive an Aston Martin, which drinks gas to the tune of $0.50/mile at full chat, but still, $15 simply pissed away. I really enjoyed my 1.0 Zune device on the original Zune software.&#160; [...]]]></description>
