    Apples to oranges. Calling your lover "Mom" is sick. Calling your computer "girlfriend" is just tragically familiar on Slashdot.

    And there will be nothing tying MS to the x86 architecture.

    Except for Microsoft themselves. They've already dumped PowerPC, MIPS and Alpha support to release solely on x86.

    Yeah, that's why we didn't bite. The local MS rep was pitching SA to us in May 2002 and telling us that the next version of Windows was due in 2003. Same day, Allchin was issuing press releases stating "not until Q4 2004 at the earliest". Seemed like a simple decision.

    MX mice (using the mouseware drivers or the applet under linux) operate at 800dpi, rather than the 400dpi of most other mice (including the entire MS range).

    They also don't shit themselves the way MS mice do. I have 2 Intellimouse Opticals (5 button), one at work, one at home. Both will occasionally go haywire, spinning around the screen for a few seconds. They also sport "ghost movements", where the cursor will move across the screen slowly on its own. This happens in Win95, Win200 and WinXP with all versions of the MS driver.

    Ditched my mouse at home and got an MX510. Much better now.

    Sort of on this topic. ~25% of the total file size of the Windows 95 OSR2 install files was for the bundled CompuServe installer. About 57MB for Windows + AOL and about 20MB for Compuserve. And, of course, you had to have that file to install Windows.

Speaking only for myself, if I were to make a speech, contribution, movement, impact, etc. towards the betterment of humanity such as Dr. King did, I would hope and expect that my children/guardians of estate would be "in it" for the higher purpose as you suggested, rather than for a means of turning a quick buck.
