My view of smart phones:
* The cost is relative to the tasks it performs. With mail, messaging, web access and tethering, I can get work done in most major cities and between. * They have survived my attempts to kill them. I've owned two Palm OS and two iPhones, a 3GS and a 4S, all survived daily use. * No problems with reading the screen and my 3GS still runs apps. * Growing list of 4G coverage |

All thus being said, my next phone will be an old school dumb phone. Going with a tablet or touch screen thinbook for Internet and other work on the road.

Time to step it up to a solid state drive Bot. In a few years terabyte SSDs should only cost a grand or so!

Multiple 500 GB solid-state drives. $$$!

Yeah, prices are coming down pretty quickly though. Besides, booting into Windows in under 10 seconds is priceless!

SSD boot drive and drive for files that are being worked on currently, spinners for storage.

Same... Intel has been doing a RAID kind of setup on a lot of laptops as well called RapidStorage i believe. Pretty much just uses the SSD as a giant cache. I usually end up doing away with it. But it is nice for the average home user.

MS Office 2013 = TRASH

I need to get office 2010, I can get a license for $10 through work. I'd rather go for 2010 since its stable and has had a few years of getting the bugs worked out. I've been using 2007 for the last three years without and issue. |

Nothing wrong with XP, though Windows 7 Pro has an XP VM practically built in (well, easily downloaded and installed anyway).

Windows 7 is now the business/enterprise standard. At my workplace we are almost complete with refreshing all Pc's to windows 7. All legacy software has already been tested and moved to servers for virtual machine use.
It's pretty sweet. I have a virtual machine running widows 98 so I can play roller coaster tycoon. Lol |

Yeah, that's about right. Seems that alternate OS's from Redmond are utter crap. 2000 was decent, ME was crap, XP was decent, Vis-duh was garbage, 7 is decent, 8 is mediocre and inappropriate for the desktop in many people's view.
