I feel for you, buddy. I've been at the "Oh shit!" stage of realizing during implementation that I missed something $REALLY_IMPORTANT in planning myself.
I am also hoping for some interesting and informative answers, since I am currently investigating using Windows Enterprise x64 to do a Terminal Services environment within MS Virtual Server using the "free" licensing of the virtual OSes. (My $ORK_PLACE steps on your neck for buying a 6-pack of Coke when on the road, penny-pinching *EXPLETIVE DELETED*.)
Well OOOO-La-La Mr. Frenchman, with your fancy-schmancy 6 digit/. ID and your floppy disks. In MY day, we used paper tapes and used our hole punches to send men to the MOON! Damn kids.... GET OFF MY LAWN!
Closing in on 4 years now. Back in 2001, the MS reps were pitching Software Assurance for XP to us and guaranteeing that the next versions would be out in 2003 to allow us to get the upgrade benefits. Of course, I came back to the office after the meeting to the news about Allchin announcing the first delays, pushing it into 2004.
And remember: January 2007 is a "hope" now, not a well-considered target.
You were able to get yours mounted in a rack without it sitting on something else? On top of that, putting in a Dialogic T1 fax card disables the PS/2 keyboard on cold boots. I have to boot it, then remotely reboot it to be able to use the keyboard at the console. How great is that?
So the box for Madden '08 will be big enough to be 90% empty and still hold 2 CDs, a dire warning about piracy, a 50 page book of "errata that doesn't work like it says on the outside of the box" and a dirty jockstrap worn by Sean Alexander, Peyton Manning or Troy Polamalu?
With Windows 2003 Ent you get to run 4 virtual machines at the same time with their "server" operating systems (NT, 2000, 2003) installed in them, at least from the way I read the license. It doesn't seem to say that the "home/pro/workstation" releases are covered.
IIRC, it was reported here that the teams with the "inadequate" tires wanted IMS to increase the degree of banking on the problem turn in the couple weeks prior to the race, since they weren't able to get the tires that would allow them to take the turn at higher speeds.
Be careful doing that, you may end up in Saturday detention with a comically mismatched group of kids from the other major cliques and humorous situations might result.
Essentially, the new UI gets rid of the menu bars, button bars, side panels, clippy agents, personal menus and other cruft that slowly accumulated over the successive revisions of Microsoft Office.
Actually, it only gets rid of some (less than half) of the "menu bars, button bars, side panels, clippy agents, personal menus and other cruft". The UI is terribly inconsistent between applications: Word, PowerPoint, Excel and Acces have the "ribbon". In Outlook, some of the windows have the new "ribbon", some have the same UI as prior versions of Office. The rest of the "Office family" has the old UI.
The "ribbon" is learnable, but it's a pain in the ass to keep jumping back and forth. Outlook is particularly painful, since it's the app I'll use the most at work, and Microsoft's UI schizophrenia is a smack in the face with every email.

Santa was heard to remark, "My sled just isn't big enough for that much fucking coal!"

Sorry, that wasn't very... I'm just sorry.

Umm, just what part of the Internet do you think you're in? You seem a little lost.

And teams can bitch about something other than the banking of turns in Indy.
i bet some modern codecs can go even lower.
G.729 needs ~12kbps to cover payload and overhead, IIRC.
Look, up in the sky!!!!
It's a bird!
It's a plane!
No! It's the joke!

Whoa-oh, Dr. Zaius!
How do you know he posed while posting?
Not only do they have an MSI (Which I am using to publish FF to our department via GPO), they also have templates to govern Mozilla/Firefox via GPO.
Got a pretty good idea of where the thumb is, too :P

Hopefully, they'll make a shark-mountable model too.
You think Scooby Doo is real?
Perparing? You're always preparing!! Just fine them!
