I wonder if there isn't some way they could just take a snapshot of the domain as it is right now, and then keep that online.

Archive.org maybe? I can't imagine Geocities can have created more than a few TB of data, and I'd not be surprised to hear that the figure is lower than that. Considering that the Wayback Machine is apparently indexing 100TB/month of new data, having Yahoo send them a dump of Geocities would surely be a drop in the bucket.

That's what the cost-savings per computer would be, $0.50 a week, $26.00 per year, per computer.
More opinion here.

I was primarily referring to XP with Service Pack 2, which seems to be the current "normal" operating system of the world. (For better or worse...) I couldn't find an authoritative source, but this site say Gartner estimates Vista will be on 28% of pcs by the end of 2009. I imagine that by default, XP is the greatest proportion of the other 72%.

I don't think support for 2000 is a big issue... other than if they are supporting XP, it's silly not to support 2000, because XP is nearly the same core operating system.

"the Carla Schroeder article read like it was done by someone with the maturity of a ten year old"

Did MS misquote Canonical that there is a 4x return rate for Linux notebooks, did those articles debunk that statement. Is MS engaged in a propaganda war to keep Linux off the desktop. If none of this is true, then produce some citations instead of trashing the style of a report.

"However here is an interesting fact--when customers are offered choice on equally well-engineered computers around a third will select Ubuntu over XP"

"Continually repeating that we 'confirmed' a 4x return over XP when we did nothing of the sort is really not worthy of a great company like Microsoft"

The very clear-headed Carla Schroeder has a write-up at Linux Today. Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols also noticed the figures were bogus.

No, sorry for being unclear. I was talking about the the one where you view the ASCII Star Wars animation through telnet. It's not an Easter egg in any piece of software, it's just viewing something on the Internet in an unusual way. (Also, I noticed after posting that I called the telnet thing "visiting a website".

No, the policy is not unreasonable in general. However, XP is the OS that works, and they have nothing that is better to replace it. And doesn't it take less money to support a solid, familiar OS than it does to support a new, flaky one?

I don't get it. Isn't XP a cash cow?

Does this mean MSFT engineers will no longer "talk users through" the downgrade process.

Retired? Really? Not a week ago. He may have given the CEO reins over to our favorite chair tosser, but he's still Chairman of Microsoft. No doubt his stock option package is quite good.

That's good for Microsoft, too. Three nines of companies don't long survive the loss of their founders. As Damon Runyon said, "The race may not always be to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, but that's the way to bet".

The fall may have even begun before he retired as CEO. When SCO's backstop with Baystar dried up, Microsoft lost all of its credibility in the smoke filled rooms where the real money makes deals. Who knows how much this cost RBC and the other partners? Gates will spend the rest of his life trying to make amends, but those who suffered will never forget. You can't swing a billion dollars without somebody dies, and the dead stay dead no matter how many soup kitchens you volunteer in afterward.

Eventually, pigeons come home to roost. The devil will have his due.

Maybe... or maybe not. Progress is seldom linear, and tomorrow is not specially supposed to me just "more of today". It may on the contrary be very different, and even opposite to some respect (think of the automobile or computer products from 1950 to 1970 and try to extrapolate that to 2010, you get very strange results ;-)

The key to many things is scale economy. If you can offer the same service at 30% less manufacturing and storing cost by having 10x longer series, you win. By the way, this is what ensured success of the Ford T and the VW Bug at a time. The Renault/Dacia Logan seems to be a success too in Europe with its "non-nonsense" approach, as well as Netbooks have been in 2008. Future is almost never "more of the same thing". That is incidentally why the Wii was such a sucess too. See aloso this :

Ah. It's actually not doing well on netbooks. Windows now has 90% of the netbook market. Linux failed on netbooks for the same reasons it failed on desktops and laptops. It's got deep, fundamental problems that the people developing it are unwilling to admit to. If you look at the ridiculous software distribution mechanisms on Linux you can see the problems ... apt is like an infinitely less appealing, flakier and slower-moving version of the iPhone app store. Yet the average Linux user will blindly defend the system as being superior to the one used by, gosh, every other OS ever designed and commercially successful.

MS shot first.

Or maybe it's something specific to your computer? For day-to-day (ie. anything not gaming/graphics related) tasks, I've found my friends' laptop works quite well with only 1 gig of RAM...

And it's running Vista? Again, I simply don't believe you. From personal experience "fixing" friends' machines by slapping in some Newegg memory and listening to many, many people gripe about their awful 1GB (or less!) systems, I think 2GB is the minimum. Even IBM recommended 4GB 2 years ago.

"VMS isn't dead either. It's still supported for VAX, Alpha and Itanium hardware, although you can only buy new Itanium systems running it.

Agreed, & that's one I've had exposure to, from the midrange &/or mainframe world in the 1980's - 1990's as well... &, it also "lives on" in other ways, per my subject-line in my reply here:

However, since this is about PC OS' I would think, though the title doesn't say so specifically, but those are mostly the examples we've been shown? I think this one's about PC OS' I.E.-> Moreso than those for mainframes & midranges, like IBM System 34/36/38's & AS400 (now called zOS iirc)?

Imo, this is sort of important (as to VMS and OS/2 "still living on"):

http://www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleBasic&articleId=9129912&pageNumber=6

That OS, in (OS/2) by IBM + Microsoft, became a good part of the Windows NT-based OS family by Microsoft really, & I really liked it, &, there is a reason I mention it.

(GammaTech Utilities backup & disk defrag come to mind, good stuff that rounded Os/2 2.0-Warp 4 out nicely!)

Also in the Windows NT-based OS family by Microsoft, what other OS ontop of Os/2 are in its foundations??

You guessed it:

VMS by Digital

(Since its designer/architect (D. Cutler) was from DEC... )

So, VMS & OS/2 aren't "really totally dead", either, if you think about it.

"Old Chevy's never die: They just get faster"

As the saying goes!

(I suppose, that I could also say that "Windows 95 lives on" in the GUI interface as well I suppose, but, that's technically not an OS, only a shell for it... & even things from UNIX are part of it, such as the BSD IP stack, but again, not an OS)

APK

P.S.=> Thought I'd add that all in, as to my thoughts on Os/2 &/or VMS still "living on" & how/why, as well as being in agreement - albeit, in a slightly different way, because they helped shape the most used Operating System on the planet in Windows NT based ones which run on the most used hardware platform on the planet in x86 that keeps NASDAQ going 24x7 to the "fabled '5-9's'" of 99.999% uptime via failover clustering in combination w/ SQLServer 2005 acting as the official trade data dessimination system for they -> http://windowsfs.com/enews/nasdaq-migrates-to-sql-server-2005 , as well as being shown (once security-hardened) to be virus/trojan/malware/spyware free for 1++ yrs.

'An operator corrects the telemetry problem but forgets to restart the monitoring tool'

This from conclusions in the report by the investigating task force. This is BS, the reason the 'operator' disabled 'real-time status of the power system' was to 'conduct a manual check of the network' because they were fully aware an incident was in progress, in the middle of which he then .. incrediously ... went to lunch and forgot about it.

"We have no clue. Our computer is giving us fits, too," replied a FirstEnergy technician identified as Jerry Snickey. "We don't even know the status of some of the stuff (power fluctuations) around us."

"I called you guys like 10 minutes ago, and I thought you were figuring out what was gong on there," the MISO technician, identified as Don Hunter, complained, according to the transcripts.

'FirstEnergy's operators were unaware for over an hour that they were looking at outdated information on the status of their portion of the power grid, according to the November report'

'no such call was made or warning given. I have confirmed that by having my staff listen to control room operator tapes'

'At 14:02 EDT .. One of MISO's primary system condition evaluation tools, its state estimator, was unable to assess system conditions for most of the period between 12:37 EDT and 15:34 EDT, due to a combination of human error .. and could not issue appropriate warnings'

I think he means the screen froze ...

The nature of the 'technical glitch' was using Windows NT SCADA units to relay info over the Internet in the middle of the Blaster worm infestation. As was demonstrated in the earlier MS SQL Server 2000 worm infestation of a nuclear power plant.

Sadly, I have some bad news for Linux lovers (myself included) when it comes to the netbook. The fact is that hopes for Linux on the netbook is all but dead now that Windows owns more than 90% of this market.

I still have some hope though. KDE 4.2.1 is convincing many folks in my small world. If KDE programmers do what they have to do in terms of multimedia and the browser (read KHTML/WebKit), there is a future.

Yes, because buying things over the phone or in store will never result in a breach.

Oh, wait...

Those three stood out in my mind since we were affected by all of them. There are others, I'm sure. In the first two cases, our credit card information was compromised despite the fact that we shopped in-store and not online. In the third case, our information was compromised at the processor level, so it really didn't matter where we shopped. Face it, no matter where you shop, your information is in the hands of other companies and can/will get compromised. The only way to prevent this is to only shop using cash. (Something that is becoming an impossibility more and more.)

Without speed, all the other features fall by the wayside. You can't enjoy a WebSlice (which is a slice of a Webpage that is constantly updated) if it takes forever to load.

If you get root on any VM on the system, you can take control of the system, not just the VM.

If this is true with this exploit (as I assume it is), this is a big deal.

VMWare is currently of the opinion that it is an OK practice to collapse security zones (eg DMZ/App/DB servers) onto the same physical host.

Even their documents on PCI compliance with virtualization doesn't say this is a bad idea.

People in the real world are using VMs as a substitute for more traditional physical security boundaries. If an exploit like this can allow you to VM hop (even if difficult), targeted attacks against PCI compliant institutions are not unlikely.

deploy a file system driver ... and bundle it with flash player ... It does not have to even integrate with flash but use the distribution mechanism to beat them at their own game

Bingo. If the FAT-LFN FS (FAT filesystem with long filename support) patents can't be invalidated, and aren't going to expire anytime soon, then I believe this idea will be the only permanent solution for the problem.

Right now every company that distributes a "plug-ready" storage device that comes formatted with a FAT-LFN FS on it has to pay an expensive MS tax, or risk getting sued. If a company that pays the ransom *also* puts Linux on the device to read & write this format, then technically they could be sued by the authors of that code (assuming they wanted to), *if* those authors knew who these companies were. We already know, from MS itself, that they have made such deals, under NDA, with companies, which allows those companies to remain anonymous.

Introducing a new FS "standard" (for small devices) into the world of Windows, free of MS patents, and as ubiquitous as, say, the Adobe Flash Player is, would be a permanent way of ending the MS tax.

Unfortunately, I'm not sure Adobe, specifically, would interested in trying, as AFAIK, they are primarily a software company, and don't make the kind of hardware devices we are talking about. What would be necessary, I think, is a consortium of hardware makers getting together, adopting an existing filesystem, making a Windows driver for it that is robust, stable, and ready for the typical Windows end-users out there, and then distributing the hell out of it. If they do the heavy lifting, *then* maybe they can get companies like Adobe, ones who are already doing mass distribution of commonly used Windows drivers & utilities, to help spread the new "standard", and *anyone* who has a device that needs this, could just slap this thing on their hardware's driver CD, with a label saying, in effect, "you must run the install CD first before using the device". Now that MS is targeting Adobe's own home-base with Silverlight, Adobe is not likely to be all that friendly towards MS anymore, and *probably* wouldn't mind helping out, as well as other major players, especially if it didn't require a lot of work on their part (just including it with whatever they're distributing now).

Would they (the hardware makers) be interested? I don't know, apparently most of them believe its just easier to pay the MS tax. So it might take a little help from some in the FOSS community to kickstart the idea, by taking an existing open filesystem that's free of patents, and doing some (or a lot) of the software engineering to make such a fast, free, stable, easy-to-use filesystem driver (and an installer for it) possible. As some have mentioned earlier however, the available ext2 driver on Windows is apparently not very stable (and do we *know* if its patent free?), so there doesn't appear to be a ready option already available, and none of the hardware makers that are now under MS's thumb, show any desire to try and fight back.

It might be a nice idea, or not, but the cynic in me thinks the most likely result will be that companies just continue to pay the MS tax (and those who also distribute Linux will do so anonymously, and just keep their heads down), until those FAT-LFN FS patents expire. The only question is, for how long?

Sure, but that's not where those articles linked to. My point was that:

There's no point in links if they don't lead back to the source. So no, AFAICT, the Politico editor took it out of his ass. It's why bibliography is important.

From page 4 of TFA:

By default, every update has a check next to it in the Update Manager. Uncheck the boxes next to those you don't want to update -- I recommend updating only software that you recognize.

This seems like really bad advice. I would say the opposite: only forego an update if you recognize the software and are sure that you don't want the newer version.

The vast majority of updates will be for "underlying" software, like the kernel, libraries, and so on. These are also the things that a newbie is most likely to "not recognize". But these are the things that critically need security updates. If a newbie only updates OpenOffice and Firefox (which he recognizes) but skips the kernel, cron, openssh, iptables, and so on (because he doesn't recognize them), he may be left with significant vulnerabilities in very important subsystems.

In a modern world the default advice should be to install updates and thereby stay as secure as possible. Users should only be skipping updates when they have good reason to think that the new version isn't better (e.g. breaks a feature they like). This is especially true on Linux, since there are no updates that are being pushed out just to limit/inhibit the end user (like, e.g. Windows Genuine Advantage does).

No you don't. The problem with what you're saying is that people compare the *possibility* of getting a cheap PC with the cheapest model that Apple offers. This is an apples and oranges comparison. Apple just doesn't offer low end computers.

The fact of the matter is that when one compares equivalent hardware in the PC v.s. Mac, then they are about the same price. And I say about the same as there rarely are two equivalent models to compare directly. There's always some difference.
