Vista Update:

• Robert's got the word gaming on Vista, the speed of the install and more.
• Driver support: Creative... it's time to pony up a decent XFi driver! 
  
• We need to find out when the public beta folks get these updates!

Viewer Spiel:

• The first HD movie on a disk didn't come on Blu-ray or HD-DVD. Jason asks "how T2 Judgment Day Extreme Edition compares to Blue-ray and HD-DVD?"
• Jeffrey Klassen says "Thought you guys might like these. I was working on some water drop photos, and decided to make you something special!" Thanks for offering up the high res images to everybody, Jeffrey, and tell us how you shot these!
  
• "What exactly will ReadyBoost do to improve Vista performance?!?!" Info for Bob from Cincinnati. on ReadyBoost, Vista, USB drives, data caching and why his 1GB Attaché ain't cutting it.
  
• We really need to do some thumd/USB drive speed tests!
• Thanks to our audience tippers for the heads up on GParted LiveCD back in EP 75 . Maria from Puerto Rico, says "it was the best. I resized my windows partition, installed Linux and to my amazement, the windows installation was untouched."
• The new background sucks? Josh says "it should be retired." We hated the blue wall. What do you think of the new one? Email us at dl.tv@ziffdavis.com. We forgot to mention on air that Josh is going into the hospital for surgery soon. Throw some mojo his way (in the best Wil Wheaton sense!)
  

News:

• AMD buys ATI. Does NVIDA care? Should you? Loyd Case has some interesting thoughts on the merger on ExtremeTech.com
• ICANN control, the US Gov and the September deadline... Will the US give up control over all domains and addresses with it?
• Google's expanded its real time traffic on cell phone maps. Cool idea. Hope it works on your phone: Patrick's didn't make the list.
• Steve Case looks back on the  AOL/Time Warner Merger: Oops.

One last thought:

• We know, we know: It's Seagate, not Segate... the offending speller from last week's show has been beaten, and we apologize for the error.
