Good, call, but I think you may have missed the mark a little. Here's why:
The market as it is currently set up will offer us service from a very few providers, each of which will choose its own reaction to government oversight and regulation, copyright protection, file sharing, etc.
The market is currently set up as you state, however as far as choosing reaction, they pretty much go with the flow of the other telecom giants. Especially with regard to oversight, regulation and copyright protection.
The standardization of ISP services is at hand...not due to the choices of thousands of Internet users but because of a ruthless economic slowdown which is taking out businesses without a chance to test the true utility of their strategies, technologies and social models.
The standardization of ISP services is not at hand. Most successfull ones are very unique when it comes to HW SW, CABS billing and various services such as DSL. The ruthless economic slowdown which is taking out businesses without a change to test fully their strategies, technologies and social models will simply allow the stronger ones to survive. That's why the old guys, (Read RBOC's) will be the last man standing.
I normally keep pretty quiet when it comes to conspiracy theories, but this poster is right on the mark.
I don't know about NVIDIA being a monopolist like Microsoft, but he's sure on to something that has some insight. Look, the HW/SW graphics development areana is only controlled by a few seledct vendors and now that hold is merging between the console industry and the desktop industry. As a consumer i want as many choices as I can get and if NVIDIA becomes the top playah with their rep, it will surely drive competition down and prices up.
I don't thing the whole console market would fall but I would sure like to get the next gen console without having to pay upwards of $350 US to get it.

Miller also said there is already definite evidence of Microsoft's predicted slowdown in the Linux marketplace, with "Corel getting out of Linux, (and) VA Linux not meeting the expectations. "For a so-called exploding market, this should not happen.
No shit. The "oooh Linux is going to be everything to everyone fatasy" has been over for quite a while. no ones really hanging on to the thought that Linux based apps will outplace Microsofts productivity apps anyway.
Yes I do, however I won't get specific on/. . However I will say that most revenue systems are mainframe based, Unisys, IBM etc. Slow, but batch is the bankers way, old school. It worked just fine for us 30 years ago, why change it.
Financial Organisations will do anything they can get away with to make money
Not necessarily true. Financial Organizations will do anything they can get away with to make money in the long haul. Stability and strength make bank customers feel warm and fuzzy. Would you trust your finances to a bank that managed them with Open Source code? I wouldn't. And please don't flame, I'm very much a supporter of Open Source and most ideology behind it. I'm merely stating that banks won't because it's perceived as insecure.
Using Open source is not what I stated. Using Open Source or Freeware for Revenue Stream Systems is what I said would never happen. The German company that issued the press release is looking at providing "cooperative plumbing interfaces" for revenue stream interaction between banks and financial institutions. I don't see any major banking consortium supporting this infrastructure.
I don't know if it's all the advocates fault. It hink it may play more into the whole open source methodology from it days back as a grass roots effort. Spin, spin, spin, worse than politicians was the name of the game. Now that the methodology has stabilized somewhat Open Source fundamentals and methodology are being hit with the same issues and problems that BIGCO software development shop is hit with. Poor project management, over zealous targets, too much release functionality and too little testing. Too bad that most of the benefit of participating with open source projects is now lost and the "pirate ship" mentality is being lost. Most open source efforts that are widely seen via the press, like the 2.4.1 release is being tarnished by the same poor management practices that tarnish mainstream products like those from Microsoft to use your example.
Did I just lump the open source management community into the same bucket as Microsoft? Guess I did. Around/. I know that's quite a politically incorrect thing to do, but it is accurate. Software development problems are software development problems, regardless of the passion of the developers. Open Source management needs to wake up and smell the coffee or the open source projects like this will all get the reputation of untested, underdeveloped hackware.
Normally, at least with the recent/. flavor of threads I'd agree with you. However this time I think that this is worth posting. It's based on fact and has technical merit. The limitations of the product are being discussed without the usual MS sux rants and this is essentially the same style of thread that would point out limitations in Debian, BSD or WINE for that matter.
This is the/. of old and personally I'm glad to see non-flaming objective threads that don't scream Lihnux is great and MS sucks never ending moose cock.

But isn't that sort of the American way? That's the way the whole infrastructure got started and grew.

Rip storms. It happened to MCI back in 95 and brought down their whole network.
They proved they could do it in less than 30 minutes.
