Speaking of people who we looked up to in those days, what happened to Jack Rickard of Boardwatch Magazine? He had possibly the best editorials that I've read.
Only one person can use the computer at once. Unlike terminal services on a Win2k server, the console is locked when someone remote controls the computer (unless it is remote assistance). Remote assistance or remote control, only one person can use the program. How does that bypass the per user license?
To be honest, I am suprised that Microsoft did not utilize the.NET framework that they want to promote so much. Wouldn't the Olympics be a perfect time to show off the use of web services and alerts to Passport customers? Think of the number of new Passport users that Microsoft would gain. Did anyone notice that some of the content is quicktime?
This does not seem like the work of the Microsoft that I know.
My biggest problem with the MP3 world is that I can usually only find an artist's "popular" songs. What about those songs that are not played on the radio?
I would think that the people who are downloading the MP3's are people who would have never gone out to purchase the album in the first place! If anything, the opportunity to download free music can only help an artist.
When I enjoy the "popular" song (and a few random tunes from him/her) that I have downloaded, chances are I will go out and buy an album. Should I not buy the album, no loss to the artist... I would have never paid for the album (or song) in the first place!
