Malaysian Police Not Roping Longhorn Rustlers

Artifex writes "CNN/Reuters reports that an early release of Microsoft's next operating system, 'Longhorn,' is already being sold openly in markets in Malaysia, with local police doing little to stop it. Microsoft's response, of course, is that consumers should steer clear. I'm sure this chaps their hides, as crashing copies of this as-yet-unreleased product are sure to cause dilution of branding."

Microsoft's response, of course, is that consumers should steer clear.

I generally wait until SP1 is out to try a new MS OS.

How do you know that more G5 clusters aren't already in the planning stages? Not that many clusters are built and each one of the clusters that does get built requires careful planning to ensure it meets the needs of whoever is buying it. The G5 has not been on the market that long and I'm sure we'll see many more clusters made with G5's, especially after the final results are in on the one VT built.
