I found this so flattering... even if my prediction has yet to materialize.
Trying the new Google Beta and it was cool. If you put in William Ryan as a search term, not only does it appear, but I'm #3. Then I put in W.G. Ryan and I was the first 5 hits. Sure, that Ryan Homes guy is still ahead of me, but considering the income disparity between us, I figured he'd have a lot more hits and I'd be like 50th or something.
Anyway, I came across a post "Let the polarized views begin.” I'm quite wrong on my original opinions but the game hasn't really started because it's hard to make a case that Microsoft is even sparsely trying to make a go of Portable Media Center.
Actually, I'm going to speak to the local .NET Users group about Portable Media Center next week (and I'm giving a presentation on ADO.NET 2.0 next month) and I wish I had more stuff to talk about. Oh well. I'm still positive on Portable Media Center although I think Microsoft needs to step up a little and quit listening to the marketing folks ;-)
