Companies like Time Warner and ATT are already taking advantage of this by offering on-demand broadcasting. If you can get it anytime you want, then you do not need to record the live show right? That is what they want you to believe as on-demand shows will not allow you to fast forward through commercials. They also push viewers to their web portals to drive more advertising revenue.
The media conglomerates will do whatever they can to keep the commercials in our view. If they cannot, then we will be paying extra somewhere to cover their costs.
Your thinking is so two years ago. Why do you need 4 sockets? Did you not see this coming when AMD announced purchasing ATI and an eight core processor for desktop users?
Microsoft is trying to get everyone (under the threat of future IP litigation) to move to Novell/SUSE. The five year deal gives them the time to create a migration tool that works perfectly with Novell/SUSE products. When the five years expire, you will be forced to migrate to Windows or lose your supported environment. My best guess is that this will also coincide with Microsoft's software-as-a-service and server hosting solution using Hypervisor (thier supposed vmware killer) technologies.
I have worked in many K12 and colleges as a technology consultant and I agree with the parent. Computers often hinder education. Why? Because computers are not as reliable as a book. And because they are not, teachers must have a backup lesson plan just in case the technology (computer lab is busy, the projector bulb died, someone put their gum in the printer again, etc.) is unavailable.
Don't get me wrong, I have seen great learning from students in drafting and art. However, usually the student gets too tied up in the tech and forgets what they are actually supposed to be learning. For example, students spend more time on PowerPoint transitions instead of researching good content and preparing a good speech. Why do they do this? Because the kids don't care about learning the content from other kids, it is just a game of oneupmanship with their peers.
True, strings will give you the entire contents of the STM database file. However, running strings on the EDB file will just give you keywords at best; not the entire message. Nice try.
I don't want to go too far off-topic, however, this is exactly what email archival systems are for. Drop in GFI MailArchiver and your boss can search (and restore) his own email. Oh, but this would make it even easier to read everyones' email.:)
The company I work for has a data center for our hosting business. The generator used to provide backup power is actually owned by the power company. We have first rights to use the power, but occasionally the generator will just start up as the power company can use it to help power the grid during peak power times.
Definitely a thought for businesses to consider...
Auditing is only the first step. It does not stop the person from taking a backup copy of the Exchange databases home and export the mail with Quest Recovery Manager for Exchange.
So, even if you lock down your company like a government secure networks it all comes back to trust. They run background checks and grant security clearances for a reason. I have mine.
History is written by the "winner". So, which history book would you publish? This brings up a whole different view. If you are going to publish only 1 of each, whoever pays the most to have their works published would win. Just the opposite of what is being suggested.
You are missing that we are already screwed. Microsoft's OS will always have security issues and they will continue to fix them when they are found. However, they cannot include a feature in the OS that performs the same features as a retail product.
So, if Microsoft added their AV product to the OS they would lose in court to Symantec and McAfee. They will be sued for giving away a product that another company charges for; i.e. (pun), the same concept as Netscape v. Microsoft.
Also, if Microsoft's (in Vista) AV product integrates with the kernel, then they need to provide the same interface to Symantec and McAfee or they will lose in court for unfair competition.
Therefore, Microsoft is doing the only thing they can legally: improve security as much as possible without breaking legacy applications and semi-bundle a security product at near the same price with (hopefully) better features. Anything more and their market share shoots them in the foot.
- work on next version and leak all the possible features to create a buzz
- when current workstation OS has reaches X% installed base -> set next version release date
- analyze possible features and postpone to a real release date covering 80% of features
- analyze maximum profits vs. SA customer expiration dates and postpone release date (again)
- ensure some part of the new OS needs better hardware requiring users to buy new PCs (ensure hardware vendors do not sue)
- $ profit!
Yes, but Vista is a workstation OS. XP and older support 10 connections per workstation. That is why you see in all Microsoft network designs for small businesses that "for networks over 10 PCs a client-server method (vs. peer-to-peer) is recommended."
You almost have it. It is not when people get more computers, it is when free internet kiosks are more widely available. Google office is really not there to remove market share for those with the means to have locally installed applications, rather, their market is the multitude of others that do not own a personal computer and do not want to hassel with keeping their docs on USB flash memory.
Even with the large number of computers in the world, there are many more people in Google's market than Microsoft's.
The normal user needs to equate putting a virgin PC on the internet with placing a virgin into general population at a prison. Both will be penetrated soon.

somewhere where snow is in the forcast. Now that would show dedication.
Check out the 20th Anniversary edition, it has four new chapters.
I think those are the same people they had distributing MS-DOS back in the day...

Slashdot filter. Post is too short.
New website. Open for business. Slashdotted.
Cool new screensaver. New windows zombie.
Admin quit. What are the passwords?
Read boss' email, discovered his fetish.

On MS Exchange this is easy.

Exactly, why else do you feel we need an 8 core processor? The GPU will just be extra clock cycles on one of the cores.

Microsoft: fat applications installed on servers and clients
Google: mostly thin applications presented through a web browser
The chance that you will actually make a difference at Microsoft is a lot slimmer than at Google.
Now, line that up with your personal goals.
Microsoft marketing 101:
- work on next version and leak all the possible features to create a buzz
- when current workstation OS has reaches X% installed base -> set next version release date
- analyze possible features and postpone to a real release date covering 80% of features
- analyze maximum profits vs. SA customer expiration dates and postpone release date (again)

Yes, they dumped their expenses (payroll) and launched a new product (lawsuit) with a huge payoff potential.
Sounds like someone needs to pay off some investors.
Hint: don't buy their stock, it will be dumped.
