Every Vista Computer Gets Its Own Domain Name
c_forq writes, "According to APC magazine, every new Windows Vista computer will be given its own domain name to access files remotely. There is a catch though: to use it one must be using IPv6. Is the push for Vista also going to be the push finally to switch everything from IPv4 to IPv6?" Microsoft, meanwhile, is trying to convince businesses to adopt both Vista and Office 2007 at once. An analyst is quoted: 'In all likelihood, enterprises will tie deployment of both Vista and Office 2007 with a hardware upgrade cycle.' His reasoning is that it will be easier for companies to handle one disruption to IT systems than two. Or three.
This makes my botnet administration much easier.

I couldn't agree more: switch to BOTH Linux and OpenOffice.org 2.0 at the same time.
I've heard you can type much faster in Word2007. If that's not a reason to upgrade I don't know what is.

Anyone who wants to post comments claiming that IPv6 is never going to be deployed, please do so in this thread.

If Linux were introducing something like this, you'd be saying it's the bestestest thing ever...
What I'm listening to now on Pandora...
Cool! Is your company hiring? I'd love to be a reenactor in a Living History display.
That's kinda the point.
Yeah, I heard those Linux media players suck, too.
"I suppose your definition of "practical, real world use" is quite limited. But it's late, and I can't be bothered to explain."
Sounds like you couldn't think of anything...

It's an operating system. Operating systems broker between computing resources and computer software.
As such, the argument for any superior operating system is "It does what (inferior system) does, only so much better."
Regardless, is the fact that it does the same thing better and cheaper not a reasonable argument for using it? Did we get transported into some parallel dimension where those are not desirable qualities? IS THIS THE EVIL UNIVERSE? *checks* No, I still have my goatee. Wait, I have a goatee! Maybe this IS the evil universe!
No wait, I'm still right-handed. *whew*
"You're right," Fisheye says. "I should have set it on 'whip' or 'chop.'"
For those new to Slashdot who are wondering what's wrong:
Slashdot is a tough place. We all do our best, but every now and again, someone mentally cracks and posts a long and desperate rant. And to support them, other Slashdotters mod them -1 Flamebait.
You know, there is a difference between trolling and pointing out the flaws in your reasoning. Just saying.

"According to a Microsoft spokeswoman, Microsoft recently placed an order for 500,000 CD labels, CD sleeves, and packaging boxes labeled "Windows Server 2007", but has also ordered an equal number of small "8" stickers, "just in case.""
Looking on the brightside, he didn't say m$. That has to count for something.
