I was not able to take the survey neither with Opera nor with IE6 because the pages would not scroll. I had to resort to an old version of Firefox to get it working.

Maybe a problem of my installation, but maybe a general problem that you might check.

Hi Rene,

Thanks very much for spotting the IE6 error on the survey – we 've just fixed this. Works on Opera/Win as well.

I love mobile OS, But I prefer PC OS . The reason is

1) Speed

2) High Storage Capacity

3) Multi Tasking/ Multi Threading

4) User convienece

5) More security

I like iphone Touch screen by apple. Now Microsoft is developing toch screen version for PC Market (Windows 7). we need to wait and see how that will catch the market.

I am into developing java apps for symbian,windows mobile & rim OS. I sometimes hate developing apps for windows since it doesn't support JVM to host java applications. Have to do it through a third party JVM. Hence the performance drops down.But have to accept the fact that windows mobile dominate the PDA market and hence get to use the coolest features and widgets.

The thing i hate about RIM is their IDE. Not so user friendly.
