For some reason, I beleive you are earnest - and not a Troll!
That said, Exchange is a bloated, administrative nightmare. ANYTHING else is almost a complete privledge to manage by comparison. Yes, even Notes.
"Let's buy another 500 user licenses for this server!" is a good place to start bitching. I don't want to hear "$9 a user" from anyone ever again! Oh, and another $2 grand for software JUST TO BACKUP!?! This is the most basic and integral function of real server software - not an expensive, after-market opportunity.
Do you have multiple Exchange servers? Are they AD integrated? Do you need to retire the old hardware of the original box? Nightmares never end! The controls for EVERYTHING look identical, and there are eight separate plug-in control panels, each with less than 10% of the needed functionality to perform any moderately complex administrative task. "You are in a maze of twisty, little tree/pane browser widgets, all alike!"Exchange is so deeply, fundamentally flawed from an administrative perspective, that I am caused physical pain, just trying to think where to begin these descriptions! It was bad in 4/5.x, but to "Train Wreck" it's administration into the nightmare-that-never-ends of AD tools...
I'd rather be devoured by the Nameless Horror out of Time.
Microsoft needs to stop the GPL, before it ruins the whole US economy, if we could just outlaw the GPL Microsoft wouldnt need to hire Indian programmers anymore.

You - and Mr. Gates - are quite welcome to whaterver is left, after the pursuit of your brilliant agenda.
This is a Federal Subsidy (Corporate Welfare) bill, designed to use Public funds to support the private interests and failing business practices of an influential cartel.
It'll be a come-uppance for the "market-always-determines-the-best-solution-crowd" to see these state-sponsored ventures dominating comercial use of space-exploration, while the "Market Solutions" stop somewhere around Dish Network.
Sun paid 10 Million for a perpetual source-license to SysVR4. This was not to SCO, but Novell, before they abandoned "UnixWare" as a strategy, and sold to SC0 in '95.
SCO will be a tiny footnote in the big Linux/Unix history file.
If they miraculously prevail, then you can really spell out the end of U.S. IT dominance in this generation, as significant work - Linux and otherwise - moves offshore and never looks back.
Or the SCREWED MFT in a 4.0 box one of my long-ago users had. TWO "C:" drives in all Explorer views, and Two copies of every folder on them. Like dynamically generated hard-links! Could NEVER fix this! Not with a backup, not with CHKDSK/F . Wild!
This is journaling on HFS+, right? Maybe I'm too much of an oldie-timey PC builder, bt I never run OS X on HFS. I used a 3rd party partitioner on my first OS X (Lombard Powerbook) for native UFS, and never looked back. OS 9 was backed up first, then resored to a compressed mountable disk image I mount on the desktop. I guess I'd cry if I wanted dualboot!
The series of problems facing HFS users never bothered me. Remember when creating a symlink with the same name as the links parent folder caused finder crashes? That was an HFS problem - 'cos they are running a trick like UMSDOS on Linux, or Cygwin's POSIX attributes on Win32. UFS=Fast Disk!
"The proper answer, surely, is that while interplanetary exploration is conceivably a noble human aspiration, needing a robot to pour your pop is the hallmark of the idle ponce."
You confuse meaningful, basic-research with mere productization, or development engineering.
You can't put the work of Boole and Fourier or even Graham-Bell and Tesla on par with mating a CCD to a PDA - or the Segway.

His argument isn't abut the usefulness of research, or the problem of its funding. His article isnt about the free market mythos.
It's about a cultural obsession with temporary diversion and amusement in novelty.
Shockingly, he supposes that lasting value in life might come from knowing oneself better, and that real sources of happiness are pusued with fewer contemplative distractions.

I'd rather have these 11K agents working for Disney and Sonny&Cher, than say, stopping the trafficking of child prostitutes.
Who do those kids think they are, anyway?
Pathetic, predictable.

Check back with me in 2015, and see if the handwriting wan't all over the walls by 2001, for those with eyes to see.

Back to Finland, Baby! Where there are still reasonable legal structures in place, and the rule of law is still bigger than the U.S. Dollar.

I like the "Dan Quayle" touch with the "e" on "potato." It adds to the whole Homer Simpson/everyman humour!
