The Pareto Principle is well known in both IT and Businesss circles. It states that for many events roughly 80% of the effects come from 20% of the causes. (This is sometimes called the 80/20 rule) So it should not have suprised anyone that a fairly small group of so-called "bandwidth hogs" use most of the bandwidth. Since this is well known (Even MBA-holding PHBs should have heard of it) I have always called BS when ISPs bring up the bandwidth hog boogeyman.
Simple: With 48 processors you can run the full Symantec utilities suite and still have a somewhat usable system, at least until the 2011 version is released anyway...
...Of the Media companies trying to SOC it to everyone.
They are probably pushing it by saying it will help the economy since everyone will have to buy new TVs and DVRs!
Make sure it is in Powerpoint (regareless of what format is mot appropriate), no more than 2-3 pages, and has lots of multi-colored graphs. Execs often care more about the presentation than the actual content. (TPS cover sheets anyone?)
And please, don't mod this post 'Funny'. I'm being quite serious here.
While Microsoft has never been the most innovative company, since Bill Gates' departure Microsoft seems to have fallen into a "Me Too" mentality. Nintendo and Sony were making money in gaming consoles. Microsoft says "Me Too" and the X-box is born. Apple makes money with the iPod and "Me Too" here comes the Zune. And don't get me started onMicrosoft's obvious Google-envy. Microsoft has some of the best and brightest minds in the industry but they constantly seem to be playing catch-up with everyone else.
No, fire 2 of the 6, make the remaining 4 work 60-80 hours/week, drop all planning and testing from the project schedule, predict completion in 180 days, and bail before the s*it hits the fan.
If Microsoft introduces an incompatible change in Windows 8 (so that, for example a given version of IE can no longer be installed, or a driver for a widely deployed device stops working), it can force a company into unbounded costs of updating their software and hardware.
Microsoft already thoght of this and included the XP compatibility mode (basically Virtual PC with a preloaded XP image) to address exactly this issue.I would imagine that they will continue to move legacy code out of Windows and improve the XP mode integration (Parallels-like desktop integration for example)
Wake me when Microsoft (or any other big company for that matter) doesn't fib, distort, or outright lie about their sales.
On the other hand, Does anyone know of a viable FOSS alternative to Sharepoint? (I'm not trolling, I figure by now there probably would be one but if there is I'm not aware of it.)

No, but it will power your Kindle.
You must not watch too many martial arts movies..
You say that like they are mutually-exclusive.
With quantum propulsion is that you can never know both which direction you are travelling and how fast you are going.
On the other hand they will probably spin it as "See, GPL is bad, if you link to it you have to give away your code!"
Closer to the exit?
You only need about 0.5mA to send a DeLorian back in time!
Suddenly fishermen everywhere are taking up arms.
Microsoft claims prior art.

Or, How much was raised whrn Slashdot auctioned off one of its original servers a few years ago?
Regular expressions must really be dummy proof!
America has the best healthcare system money can buy (or pretty close to it)
Too bad most people can't afford it without having to go through an insurance company.
watch too? Good thing I don't live in California.
Any movie staring the Govenator is OK.
Would that be Leopard, Tiger, or Panther?

Are you kidding? Most cops use COFEE. It's even more popular among law enforcement types than DONUTS.

In order to provide the most choice, freedom, and protection from consumers, use of Keychest will become mandatory.
Fixed it for you.
