There is of course also NesEm which works wonderfully on my tapwave. I have every NES game I played as a kid... in the palm of my hand. Not to mention the fact the games look better smaller:)
Okay, yea it would be nice for all of this IM stuff to be opensource, but look if AOL doesn't want MS to make money off this it is their right!
AOL put money into AIM and it's advertizing, now MS comes in and wants to use all their hard work by taking advantage of AOL well meaning gesture of makeing the spec avalable to the public!
If MS is that concered that "it isn't fair" why don't they make THEIR software, and protocals open?? Huh what's that you say $$$$$$, yeah that's all MS wants, Money they don't care about Opensource they just want IM to SHOW THEM THE MONEY. I have a lot of respect for ESR but, how can you ever say MS is right, if there motives are contrary???
Well maybe you should think a bit more...Sure it can be used as a cracking tool, but it can also be used justifiably, in the work place...The program is essentially a remote administration tool. Plus remeber a bit back when that little HTML tag could crash all ver. of netscape, that was not made to be used maliciously, but was. All this is not the point the point is MS' software does the same thing as BO and SMS is not checked by VirusScaners.
This whole thing is kinda funny, but the fact is that MS can't call Bo according to their site: "Back Orifice 2000 (BO2K) is a remote-access tool that was developed with the intent of harming users...it is a tool that has no legitimate purpose other than exposing users' machines to people on the Internet." How can they say that, if their software does the same thing! I have been waiting for this to get noticed, it just shows how microsoft does the same things it curses. I wonder how MS will respond.

Sure it is blowted....but hey it's not even really in beta. It is a step in the right direction... and it NOT that bad, it is a nice product, it was orginzed wrong, that's the problem.
