WinCE and the "Jupiter Machines" were a precursor of Netbooks but too early and too expensive. When the Netbook finally arrived they set out to destroy it because it ran Linux (like the Netbook Im posting from)
NOT in a corp environment, they don't! 2 or 3 yrs, tops. corps do a 'refresh' and buy new gear (cheaper than supporting older stuff).
Really? I'm glad that you have made it so clear that the Windows 98 machines that I see at work are not really there because the custom apps that would be difficult/impossible to be updated to more modern Windows are not a problem. The other machines that I see with Win XP clearly don't exist either only the very few Win 7 machines exist. Glad you cleared that up.
So how is the Dream Chaser on past performance for orbital flights? No such flights? I see why it was not chosen because of past performance or lack there of.
Trusted computing was always destined to be vaporware. Nobody wanted it.
Untrue. The big media companies want it so they can controll your media use. Consider that MS got a patent which would allow them to tell how many people (in the home) viewed a movie at once. The big media companies would just LOVE to charge you each time an individual "consumes" their product. No more copy ownership just a constant income source to the media corp.
Corporate Big Brother is just as dangerous as the government form.
According to science, there is no creator. So no, there is no creativity. Since there is no creativity, there can be no lack of creativity.
No. "The creator" if any is supernatural. Science researchs nature. The supernatural if any is not researchable at present. As such "the creator" is irrelevant to science, irrelevant NOT denied.
Please explain how YOU would propose to scientifically test "the creator".
Did you follow how DOCX came to be "standardized"? Specifically the scandalous way they manipulated the ISO standards process?
How about the parts of the standard that say things like "Do it like Office 9x does" without defining how that is? A "standard" that is not fully defined and which Microsoft itself has yet to fully and compliantly implement.
Then there are other things like MS coming up with their own way to define leap years which results in disagreement with the existing international standards for what and when a leap year is.
I up graded my Win7 Netbook to Linux and during the install used the netbook to view a Youtube video and post on a discussion forum. Lets see Windows do that.
And there are multiple appeals at the PTO. As I recall on the FAT patent MS was finally confirmed by the PTO and the final level of appeal took place behind closed doors with only the Patent Office people and Microsoft representatives, the people opposing it were not allowed to take part or review what happened. So even the PTO level appeals can go on and on and on.
I know what MS is up to. they sell software and I'm their customer.
You are not and never were Microsofts customer. You are at most the customer of Microsofts customer.
We the end users were not clamoring for DRM, but we are stuck with it. If we were the customer DRM would not exist as we don't want it (especially when it bites us on the ass for being honest). We didn't clamor for a Phone UI on a desktop computer. Neither did we ask for an online store that is locked to Microsoft. So why is Microsoft shoving all this down our throats if we are the customer?
What was the fine they had to pay in the U.S. over a patent that was found invalid? $600,000,000 or so wasn't it? That couldn't possibly have acted to slow them down and screw them up in their biggest market now could it? Not to mention the money and effort wasted there not available for actual work.
Document formats. If you change suppliers later can you use all the files you created or are they locked in to your current supplier? Also are you dictating that those you send documents use the same software to read it that you used to create it thereby as government giving a defacto monopoly to your supplier?
apply it to a suspected terrorist with a dirty bomb.
So close yet so far. The word suspected is part of the key. Remember the guy who was accused by the government of having a "dirty bomb" plot? Arrested, held for years without trial or charge and then charged with something else as there was no dirty bomb plot. Killing based on suspicion alone and without due process is unconstitutional.

They did need a design overhaul. Windows Phone with it's tile layout was way superior.
That of course is why Windows Phone is the market dominator right?
So it's Leaded Gasoline's fault that I download pirated movies? That's a relief.
No. It is the fault of leaded gasoline that your parents named you Anonymous Coward.
Windows is for the MS peeping toms to spy on you and everything you do.

NT started at 1.0. It jumped to 3.1 to synchronize version numbers with Windows 3.1 for DOS. Couldn't have people thinking NT was behind DOS/Windows.
So how is the Dream Chaser on past performance for orbital flights? No such flights? I see why it was not chosen because of past performance or lack there of.
Nope. They rule on the Constitutionality of the regulations they don't create them.
So under the Constitution who is it that regulates interstate commerce again?

That is two of us.
DC has two good options. Number one have the statue made and donate it. Two Have the statue made and sell it to them. Both protect their trademark.

So who wants a Boskonian running their company?

That is right. They tried to do it with Sun Microsystems Java. Where is Sun now?
They tried to do it with the Browser and Web server to get Netscape. Where is Netscape now?
They tried it with Stacker. Where is Stac Electronics now?
