Halloween Document Revisited

GroundBounce writes: "The front page of LWN has an interesting three-year-after analysis of the predictions in the Halloween document, which was "leaked" from Microsoft around Halloween of 1998. It's interesting to see how their predictions have/have not panned out."

    Off-Topic means just that. Off topic. The topic of this thread is a Microsoft Halloween memo. I'd mod you off-topic if I had mod points, simply because you don't fit under the right heading. Topics = to organize similar thoughts together. Your point may hold water, but it is not in the right spot - and that makes it irrelevant.

    Half of not losing karma is posting in the right places.

    Someone posted a fake mirror, claiming it was a yahoo link. It actually just used yahoo's redirector script to send people to the goat sex page.

    Hey, they're circumventing the 'show link domains' feature... let's arrest them under the DMCA.

    Nice of that moderator who -1'd me to actually LOOK at the link, before calling me redundant. Since when does yahoo mirror stuff?
