A nice package, albeit a bit "foreign" when it comes to their terminology. Disk packs, save packs and other funkyness. But overall an excellent product, fast, stable - and with many, many clients supported.
True, there is the issue of animation... Quite honestly though, I can live without all the blinkenlighten on Web sites... Most are garish nightmare creations spawned from the depths of hell.;>
That's probably also why they started using years, as in "Windows95" and "Windows98" - they don't want people to see that the version numbers actually go backwards...;>

Depends on your metrics. If you mean glitzy do-nothing features, yeah sure - IE wins. But if you're talking about running on nearly every platform out there, sorry - no cigar. To me, seeing a page the same way on every computer is more important that all the crap that's stuffed into IE... And only runs on Mac and Windows.
If some dumbass wears it out in public, then I'd wager the dork deserves to get run over by a bus. There's better things to look at outside than C code. But then hey, at least the guy made it outside...;>
Not sure what's funnier... The original post or some of the replies. Going from "hey, don't pick on Robby" to "yeah, ya prick!" Some things never change and have even become startlingly predictable.:)
Who ever said anything about Linux? Yeah, it's cool and all... But for mission critical, I was actually implying Solaris (or Linux if it fits). I wasn't saying Linux ueber alles.
As for "promising features" well, Microsoft is indeed good at *promising* them. Delivering them is another story.
However, I totally agree - use the best tool for the job. If that means NT, hey, whatever.
Name one thing that Microsoft does better, quality wise and power wise - that's better than anything out there... Not the OS. Not SQL server. The only thing MICROS~1 does good is office software. And hell, that's not mission critical. Far as I'm concerned, it's even irrelevant.
Seriously... It's nice to see a switched crossbar architecture come to the PC world. Something that workstations have had for some time now. Eight way SMP isn't too bad - but isn't Linux really tweaked out for only two to maybe four CPUs? What's the point of diminishing returns with kernel 2.2.x?

The obligatory begging for gear...
"And in the news tonight, Kiev has been microwaved to ashes due in part to a thruster failure onboard NukeMe II"
Funny shit... :)
That's the reason...

Very nice... I'm hoping to add a second 400MHz CPU to these E250s and add another 1GB of RAM. Not a 3500, but still damned nice... :)
And I get paid to do this!!! God, sometimes I really love my job... Pity I have to ship it out after build and installation
I hear ya. Feel the same way... The E250 under my desk has gotten quite comfortable... :)

The newer, better, faster Sparcs on the horizon should be even sweeter.
I have more faith in HP than Intel... ;>
Heh.

You are seriously high.
Besides, if you need things like that - use Solaris. Or use IRIX. Linux is still premature in those areas, and NT is just, well, a joke.
But um, yeah - same shit, different year. ;>

UNIX killer. Bhahahahaha. I remember the last time they said "NT will be a better UNIX than UNIX."
What ever happened to (ahem) "Wolfpack?" ;>
Where ya been? :) It's meant for the VAIO laptops for use whenever you need privacy - watching a DVD, etc.

I've been testing it, and let me tell you... You WANT this game. It's THAT good... :)
Wasn't this demoed at LinuxExpo? ;>
