Do you understand the argument? Did you purchase those copies of Windows or did they come with the computers?
You are still running Windows XP so clearly you are just running the OEM bundled software that came with the computers. This is the point being made, that people like you are NOT going out and buying Microsoft, you are using Windows because it was bundled with the computer.
Can be found in a "Rocky and Bullwinkle" episode from long ago.
Boris Badenof has just cut the rope on a large treasure chest that dangles over a cliff. Of course he is standing on the treasure chest at the time so they both fall together. In typical comic form the treasure chest inverts as it falls, so Boris is underneath it as it crashes to the ground.
Natasha cries out, "Oh Boris are you okay?"
Boris says in response: "Don't worry, tis only cartoon".
Not in Fenway Park. If it bounces hard off the Green Monster then it's a single. Hard line drives that are home runs in other parks are singles at Fenway.
I'm running 64-bit linux host with VMware Workstation and a Windows XP guest.
Performance all around is very very good. If you full screen the guest, you can't tell that it's running virtual unless you check for the VMware icon.
Video performance is OUTSTANDING, essentially native. Netflix videos play full screen with very little CPU overhead.
Suspend and resume can be slow if your guest has lots of RAM.
I recommend using XFS for the filesystem containing your VMware images. I've tried other filesystems but nothing can touch XFS when it comes to handling those enormous virtual disk files.
If you're feeling more spendy you can get a multi-socket Opteron 2000 or 6000 series server motherboard from SuperMicro or TYAN. With lots of RAM and 12-16 cores, you can emulate a whole room full of computers.
Price/performance is not the criterion here. There are applications where this is important, but an average desktop user is not one of them.
These systems are all quite bloody fast enough for "normal" desktops. The question is:how much does it cost? and AMD will get you a much better price for this class of machine.
In lower Manhattan, many UPS package cars (their name for the brown delivery vehicles) make ONE stop. Yes, they drop off and then pick up an entire package car's worth of packages as it sits in one spot.
In my neighborhood the UPS truck services at least 10 houses from one stop. He has packages to deliver to at least one of us every day.
Many UPS package cars are driven only a few miles each day.
UPS is VERY VERY good at managing and minimizing their fuel costs, it is very much in their interest to do so.
Slashdot Mirror
If they carried USB also, then you could use this to remote your PC.
I'm reminded of Linksys WRT-54G routers and such.
You might need to do some surface mount soldering to get to the required connections.
Very handy for booting up a Sun server.
That stuff is pointless and useless. By the time "serious virus trouble" happens it is TOO LATE to cut it off with these half-assed measure.
None of what you are talking about will prevent infected machines from communicating with each other.
That only works if all your friends also decide to do the same.
Use a separate computer or a VM for your "social networking" so your important data is in no danger.
Even a cheap laptop can run vmware player and a small vm with just a browser in it.
IBM was NEVER much of a consumer brand so they never "ended up" that way.
Microsoft doesn't have the breadth and depth of product that IBM does, not by a long shot.

If the bug is left in there deliberately then there certainly is cause to believe there is something behind it.
These systems are "supposed" to be vetted and tested and approved before they are let loose on the voters.
Do you really think that this blatant UI bug was NOT noticed in testing? Why oh why was it not fixed? That is the interesting question.

As they say "the proof is in the pudding"
You can theorize all you want about who could have done what, but in the end what matters is the implementation.
The simple and basic fact is that Microsoft with all their corporate might and power cannot fix the poor latency of their implementation.
Again Nothing to be proud of
Why do you need a data center to have an app store?
A truly smart solution would leverage the enormous unused CPU power of the client systems.
Apple sells hardware. All of this is non-revenue generating investment, it's just a way to consume profits.
You don't implement web applications in the browser, they are implemented in the server.
If you write valid HTML5 and the browser does not accept it, file a bug.
Is that simple enough?

You have to use their linker, there is no other choice. The linker alone will give you the run-around if you don't do it their way.
Yes, there still is a need for NAT if you don't like showing the world how many hosts you have behind your firewall.

de gustbus non est disputandem
we are talking about how well it runs, not whether you like it or not
All of those switches would then need to be configured, configurations managed, etc.
The stated premise is to make the administrator's job easier, not harder.
Basically admitting that securing Windows is hopeless, concentrating efforts elsewhere.
strong market position.
"strong" is not the criterion. "dominant" is more like it.
You can hardly claim Apple has "dominant" market position.

What fool allows local users on their production database systems?
So let me get this straight:
"first sale" doctrine is dead so they can force their prices down our throats and we cannot bargain.
Now we cannot bargain for wages either and that's okay too?
Tell me is there any limit to corporate power at all?
