Vista is not released yet they have plenty of time to create one hell of alot of problems for MS in a quick hurry well before it is even released...I am not sure what there current install base is but I would guess that a 100 million would at least be close.
If you want to play with the big boys you got to play like one. They could fix this situation in less than a week and have microsoft bending over backwards to help them out.
CEO Symantec: Billy you are pissing me off let me have access to what I want.
Billy: No way we are taking over the playground.
CEO Symantec: Well you are going to let me have access to what I want or else.
Billy: Or else what, I am not scared of you I own the desktop.
CEO Symantec: Ok here is what I am gonna do.
Billy: laughs
CEO Symantec: We are immediately updating all of our desktop software.
Billy: yea so
CEO Symantec: Any time a virus is found on the system it will pop up a message to the user. If it is browser installed malware it will contain the following message "A virus related to your IE installation was quarenteened and removed. To eliminate future possible system infections you can go to www.getfirefox.com and download a secure browser which will greatly enhance your web surfing experience".
Billy: I don't much care about IE anyhow we don't even make money on it.
CEO Symantec: Any time a macro virus is found on the system it will pop up a message to the user. "A macro virus has been found on your system and it is possible that your personal data could have been stolen. A better office suite that is even compatible with your current documents and is totally fee of charge is available at www.openoffice.org. If you would like this installed press ok and the macro virus will be removed and we will upgrade your system to a better office suite"
Billy: oh crap, please don't do that.
CEO Symantec: Also when it catches a system virus it is gonna point the user to ubuntu and offer to install it.
Billy: Tell you what we will send over a team of developers and help you fully integrate with our system.
If you tell mozilla there is a hole, then refuse to disclose it to them. Further you tell them that you intend to use it to create a botnet. The only thing I can say is these crap heads should be labeled what they are, terrorist. Send them to gitmo with the rest of the terrorist, never to be heard or seen again.
"So sure. Posix is cool. All those little tools are useful, but to who? The average user? Do you think they might confuse some people?"
Let's blow a hole right into your little theory here..
Does the average user need regedit, do they know how to toggle a binary or hex setting in the registry? Oh no if a windows system had regedit it may confuse someone.
Hmmmm maybe it is because they are a "Monopoly" and one that has been found guilty in the past of using their "Monopoly" to illegally leverage competitors out of business.
I would usually take this opportunity to call you some well deserved name, but I sincerely believe that you can figure out what I am thinking of.
So tell me what makes her so smart there cowboy? Actually everything I read about her she sounds like a middle management paper jockey. Same goes for the SP2 sign off BS, she had to sign off she was the middle manager again paper jockey between the developers and the "real" security contractors.
Put in a bunch of them and they do not last any longer than a reguar bulb, the light is also no where near as good and they suffered from dimming over their short life span. Hell I doubt they even reached the 750 hour payback period.
Yes and out of all of them it is the worst not because the tracer sucks but the way it is incorporated into the program. The tracer dialog with it's lack of a decent preview or tracing dialog is it's major downfall.
Using 200 GPM and wasting 200 GPM are two entirely different things. Most of the water is used in cooling the fractional distillation towers and this is entirely recirculated. Most of the mashing water is also recovered in holding ponds. So your figure is nothing more than a little interesting not a indication of a problem as you suggest.
In my experience with it so far it is extremely stable and reliable and hell I am even running it on a redhat platform....the guests are all ubuntu not sure about redhat stability while running as a guest.
There is only one qualification program that counts, when linus puts it in the kernel and sprinkles the holy penguin pee on it then it is certified until that point the driver is worthless junk.
Slashdot Mirror
Nope it would not be alot of fun, MS is way to predictable, not like one would have to
come up with anything new.
Hell they invented this tactic with the ole popping up the msn messanger message once a hour, telling you need to register.
Easy Umbuntu with the new norton linux anti-virus pre installed, yearly subscription of course.
/dev/null

Easy to get around that if it becomes a problem.
"Just fake a demo to the court that proves that it is better"
hmmmm seen that done before!

Problem solved!

Smile, you deserved it...
4. All of the above.
Probably that security expert that now works for mozilla...hey lets only patch boxes on tuesdays...yea great idea..

Jackson had the correct solution to the problem, but no the DOJ had to roll over...
Since when did they loose desktop market share? I must have missed something...

Actually IE's java script engine is dirt ass dog slow. Mozilla smokes it by at least a factor of five when executing java script.

Yea you also mean like you have to use products tht contain technology that recognizes
the broadcast flag?

So we trade off co2 emissions for high levels of murcury being dumped in the land fills from disposal of the spent CFL bulbs?
Mark January 30'th on your calendar, the date of the next internet Pandemic.
I always welcome saving 80-100 bucks on my heating fuel bill.
Bring on that global warming!

Does it have a bitmap tracer and if so how good is it. I do tons of manual vector tracing since all or most suck badly.
