You realize, of course, that Microsoft 2.0 will have all the features of Microsoft 1.0, plus added functionality: MsEmailSafe (tm) will no longer allow damaging emails to leave Microsoft Exchange Server, and wind up on Open Source web pages. Exchange will lock up and spit blood instead, and the users will never notice, having become accustomed to this. MsPropaganda will be upgraded to 3.2.1, incorporating the latest kernal upgrades from the MPAA and the Public Confusion Algorithm (MSPCA), in particular. And Bill Gates will finally get a decent haircut.
I think it's just another bonus of the/. effect. Is there a page of the 'Top-10 Slashdotted Web Servers'? First an Atari, then the NSA, then the World!!
It is by caffeine alone that sets my mind in motion. By the beans of Java, thought acquire speed, the hands begin to tremble, the trembling becomes a warning. It is by caffeine alone that sets my mind in motion. I'll leave out the obvious 'grits-down-my-stillsuit' comment.
Why are there ~600 comments to any story involving John Carmack and only 209 as of this post to a really neat/. post? Good coder, yes, idol for the new generation, I can only hope not.
I was just at the Win2k launch down in Florida, and they piped in the Gates from San Francisco. The celebrity he had 'helping' him was Patrick Stewart. I just thought of that when you said Microsoft and Enterprise.
They also expected 3000 people, and ~4500 showed up. Registration took an hour and a half and they ran out of box lunches.
Demos were neat, though.
As for the Win2k Server, in the demos they showed it did some neat stuff. Bill used 400 Compaq desktops to simulate ~320 million web hits to 25 Win2k web servers, and it even held up when he unplugged half of them.

A hair dryer and fingernails will get that off, along with pinstripes.
You know, this exact attitude was why I had to work on New Years Eve.

Bonus kudos to you if you can describe the situation as 'Anarchy in the UK' without getting anything thrown at you. :)

Nice and OT, but you can build a thermonuke the size of a pack of smokes. Cancer? Nice try.
