Well, the way I see it, Win9x rules more than 85% desktop PC's. Which is darn good, by any standards. The tendancy is for the PC market to keep on growing, even if that means that MS has to lower its prices to keep OEMs on track.
So what if Linux can grab 20% of the PC desktop market in the next 2/3/4 years?! MS will still have the majority of users in its hold, and will keep making alot of money from it, giving it a stronghold on new and powerful actions to respond any Linux attacks.
The best tactic MS has, is to try to use its strong presence on desktop as a leverage to force enterprises use its NT platform. I'm sure, we will see, more and more, server specific / client specific applications show up on NT and Windows (ie Exchange Premium); applications with proprietary protocols, that no linux will be allowed to replicate, client or server side.
I guess Linus is right when he says, "World Domination and fast!", because the less time MS has to think about it, the better! ---
but there's nothing (in theory; please don't get technical-specific on my ass) to stop another phone or cable provider from offering a similar package at half the price.
Sure the cable provider can cut prices to half... and next month they wont be around because they went bankrupt.
What is happening with UO property is that people are giving it value based on certain factors. Maybe some of those factors are controled thru certain logic (the time they spent etc), while others are artifically maintained (like the fact that UO can increase the land to build on by two fold in a second).
Just because I'm selling my i486 for 2 million dollars doesnt mean you have to buy it.... or does it?

Java will never make it on the client side...

HotSpot arrives
·
· Score: 1
Just as suspected, HotSpot isn't intended for the client side; so Java's success will always be limited to a niche of server sided specific applications. Which is pretty sad, since that's far away from what Sun always promised and hoped, making client OSs (Windows...) obsolete. ---
Yes, its true... 2600 has now discovered the next generation of hacking, it's called: "Platonic Hacking" In this make believe world of hacking and cracking, people challenge each other by producing big corporation look-a-like web sites on GeoCities and Xoom. This is a turn in hacking history, I am sure Mitnick is sorry he didnt think of this... ---
