if IT managers schedule exit strategies based on Microsoft changing to a service model, then they are also scheduling their own exit strategy, since the main benefit to a company of a service provider (ASP) is that very little maintenence is necessary. Most businesses could outsource client installs, or even order Dell machines with their client config already installed.
Add interactive help and you have eliminated a bunch of IT jobs that currently exist only due to the fact that reinstalls are a common occurrence...
i agree. often, the 'headlines' chosen are not all that helpful. my guess is that this is an ad revenue consideration, since I would probably not have clicked through to read the article if it had been titled, 'whistler to resemble 2000'...
What will you do to protect the rights of atheists and those who hold minority faiths, such as Wicca, Santaria, Shinto, et al?
Dubya Says:I am a born-again Christian. I will try to do my best to make life on earth pleasant for the heathens that you mentioned, because I firmly believe that they will spend eternity in Hell.
Albert Gore Says:Unlike Governor Bush, I invented my own relationship with Jesus Christ. I was also influential (along with Jesus and others) in opening my heart to religions of all kinds, pagan and Christian alike. In fact, my good friend Joe Lieberman is going to make sure that at least one minority religion gets plenty of support from Government.
An increase on gas and cigarette tax would harm the poorest Americans the most. Think of how often you pull into a gas station and see a person fill up a late model gas guzzler and then go in to buy some smokes?
If you think the person making $100K+ per year driving the Lincoln Navigator really cares about an extra 15 cents per gallon you are kidding yourself.
Lewis's idea really isn't too far off base. I would almost rather have puppet Bush in power being controlled by intelligent people instead of having Al Gore in power, telling everybody what to do and thinking that he knows best.
the problem is that everybody loved palm for providing free OS upgrades... and now, for a measley $20, we all have to go through the hassle of buying something that should have been free in the first place.
Yes, it's better than CE, but it does not live up to the standard that Palm has set in the past
(hopefully they'll read the comments on slashdot and decide to make it free...:)
i wouldn't want you to by my sysadmin. Advertising FUD is one thing, but don't blame Microsoft for not converting 100% of its M&A business to Win2k... I'd personally rather have them spend their time making Win2K better, wouldn't you?
someone should moderate the above comment up... there is a lot of unwarrented hotmail bashing (probably because microsoft owns it)... I've had a hotmail account for almost a year, and I have recieved NO spam...
Spammers probably take names from the headers of those stupid forwards that everyone sends all over the place...
No, a car does not need two pedals. Imagine a single pedal. When it is not pressed, the car is stopped, and as the driver pushes the pedal, the car gains speed. Want to slow down? Just let up on the pedal a bit. Want to come to a rapid stop? Just let the pedal out all the way.
I hope optical mice catch on. I've been using my Microsoft mouse (with intelleye) for a couple of months. I bought it soon after I realized that I was experiencing shoulder pain after hours of work which requied precise mouse movement. With the optical mouse, the shoulder pain is gone.
The problem is that Apple has done nothing revolutionary... again.
you are stupid... the retail market self-organizes around unstable supply. How do you think your corner grocer feels when 20 new gallons of milk arrive and he still has 10 gallons on the shelf that expire in 2 days?
Nonetheless, it all works out in the end. Maybe retailers will start selling the $2 redhat CD's instead of the silly boxed sets in order to minimize their losses.
Interesting point... The good think about bandwidth, and other things that are sold as a commodity, is that once you buy it, nobody tells you what you can use it for.
I pay for city water by the gallon, but the city doesn't tell me I have to use 45 gallons per day for showers, 20 for dishes, 50 for the lawn, and 50 for boiling cabbage. This is a good thing, because I don't like cabbage.
If the recording industry would get its act together, it would realize that consumers might not want the other 8 songs that waste CD space on an album that nobody likes, aren't played on the radio, and that nobody would have bought in the first place if given a choice.
Bandwidth is a great way to offer content/information to customers because it is incredibly flexible -- It allows for any 'basket of goods' that a customer wants!
It's buffet-style music... Hold the cabbage, the public is eating it up!

If you steal from one source
it's plagairism. If you steal
from many sources, it's research.

But then wouldn't the confusing nature of the ballot effect both candidates equally and thus retain the fairness of the election?
note: I said IE5, not IE5.5. Your data agrees with my experience with 5.5.
this is silly. Buchannan wants to stick it to the republicans. Can't you see through that?
done intentionally or by accident.
I would prefer to believe that all buchannan voters
did so because they forgot their glasses at home.
a smart comment, bravo. it's easy to get lost in the flames and trolls.
ie4 was a dawg, but ie5 is great...

that script now, I did:
Run 100 Server: Microsoft-IIS/5.0

this would cost quite a bit... each picture would have to be viewed and described by someone knowledgable, and then the tags would have to be added.

that would be a good point if it weren't possible to run multiple clients at once.
Wow
