The liveside.net is reporting that Microsoft is working on a Google Pack like product called Windows Live Essentials. Microsoft is really going all out on the live initiative. Lots of products being launched, and I must admit some of them are very good ones. Better watch out, Google!!

Since my post on the Windows Vista Wallpapers has been so popular, I thought perhaps people would like to download the default Windows XP wallpaper.

Hurray!! I finally received my first order that was placed using the Google Checkout system. The Google Checkout team says the problem is fixed, but I haven’t placed another order yet to know if it is actually.

By the way, I’m loving my Spam Filter.

I got my Google Checkout t-shirt in the mail yesterday, although my order still has not arrived. Funny. Two t-shirts so far and no orders. Its supposed to come today though according to the tracking number.

This blog is now protected by dr Dave’s Spam Karma 2. 675 spams eaten and counting…. Don’t even try it.

It looks like my Windows XP Startup Screen has been discovered, and has been submitted to digg!! Wow, that explains the jump in my web stats.

Hmmmmm……… notice the Google Checkout Logo??

This morning I went to yahoo.com again to click on the ! some more. I love doing that. However, when I opened up yahoo.com in my Internet Explorer 7 Beta it alerts me that…

“This website wants to run the following add-on: ‘TODO: <File Description>’: <Company name> (unverified publisher)’. If you trust the website and the add-on and want to allow it to run, click here….”

What’s going on here??? Is it a valid yahoo add-on?? or is it a IE 7.0 bug??
