The gravitational pull of the earth is the source of power.
The water generating the power travels niether through the river nor over the falls. The water is pulled by gravity through pipes called penstocks to the turbines.
I don't expect Oracle or IBM or Netscape to pick up the CLI and run with it, incorporating it in all of their new products, like they did with Sun's JVM.
I don't believe that IBM will pass up any viable technology.
Expect them to go all out on.NET while they continue with everything else.

However, it's more fun to implement this with a microwave than to buy them pre-destroyed.
I would like to see Microsoft beat the TCO of my current system.
I did make a donation To Debian when I got the initial installation CDs (but I didn't have to.).
Upgrades are freely downloadable and can be done automagiically.
Microsoft could pay me to take windows.
Then they could pay me to install each Service pack.
Then pay me again when they come out with the next Version of Windows.
I would keep the windows machine up to date.
Use the Debian box.
Then donate the bribes to Debian
They should use secure open source code

Microsoft News Conference on US District Court Rulings Bill Gates, Chairman & Chief Software Architect Steve Ballmer, CEO November 1, 2002 BILL GATES: Good afternoon. We believe that today's ruling, largely affirming the settlement we reached with the Department of Justice and the nine states represents a fair resolution of this case. It's a major milestone. We thank the mediator, the federal government and the nine states that helped forge the settlement, and we appreciate the court's extensive work. This settlement puts new responsibilities on Microsoft, and we accept them. We recognize that we will be closely scrutinized by the government and our competitors. We will devote the time, energy and resources needed to meet these new rules. I am personally committed to full compliance. We have already made many of the necessary changes. We have increased the technical information we make available about our products. We have made it simpler for computer manufacturers to replace Microsoft software with programs of their choice on the Windows desktop. We have made our licenses more uniform. And we have appointed an internal compliance officer. We are also training our employees so that the settlement is understood and followed in every part of our business. We are committed to being a responsible industry leader. We are dedicated to the core values that built this company from the beginning, helping people and businesses realize their full potential through great software. A lot has changed since this lawsuit began. The Internet is becoming an increasingly vital part of our lives. Economic growth has cooled worldwide, and it has been a time of increased competition and upheaval in the technology industry. But I also believe it's a time of promise. We have only scratched the surface of what software can do in our homes, our schools and our economy. While putting new responsibilities on Microsoft, this settlement also gives us the freedom to keep on innovating for our customers. The next few years will be an incredibly exciting time for our industry as Microsoft and many other companies work to develop technology for an increasingly digital world. We are pleased with another step in this case behind us. We can focus even more on building the future of technology. Thank you. STEVE BALLMER: I want to second what Bill has said. We are fully dedicated to complying with the settlement which the court conditionally approved today. Over the last year we have put in place the resources and training to ensure compliance, and we are continuing to implement the required changes in our software and how we operate. As a company, Microsoft has learned and grown through the experience of the last four years, and we are committed to moving forward as a responsible leader in an industry that is constantly, constantly changing. I want to be clear that we have heard both those who support us and those who have criticized us. We must be aware of our actions affect others and are perceived by them. Compliance is both a corporate commitment and a personal responsibility for all our employees. By strengthening our connections with customers and industry partners, we are committed to forging a deeper bond with the people and communities we serve, by listening more, communicating better, and focusing more than ever on innovation. As we continue to focus on complying with this settlement, we are also continuing our discussion with the European Commission to address the issues that they have raised. We see an amazing opportunity for technology to enrich people's lives in the years ahead. The 50,000-plus employees of Microsoft are 100 percent focused on working with people across our industry to help create the next generation of products and services that will help people in businesses achieve their full potential. Thanks very much to all of them, and thanks very much to you for your time today. We'd be delighted to take some questions. Bill Gates, Brad Smith, our general counsel, and I will all be available to you.

I get both shows on cable and watch niether.

I like the idea of converting to solar power especially in Ontario.
The size of solar array that I would need is only about four times larger than my property in downtown Toronto.
However, if I stack the panels four high I believe I can fit them all in.
Am I missing something?
or Did the (-1 troll) moderator work for Blizzard, Micosoft, Apple, or related law firm or advertizing agencey
I am only trying to ask if I have the correct trailer????
All I got was a circular fog thing with a voice, bad music and let me restate REALLY LAME GRAPHICS.
I was expecting something some thing that would make me want to play this game.
The seven minuite trailer that I saw last night for Doom III really made me want to buy it (not wait for christmas).
This thing makes me think that a release of Geriatric PAC MAN would be a better choice.
Blizzard should really consider a new advertising agency.
I think that there is one that used to work for Microsoft.
They could use stock photos and do a I switched from freecell and Installed my own game type of ad.
They could even try to get some mileage with a diatribe from a stoned teenager
Is this just a warning of a potential hole.
Or has somebody actually made an exploit.
Does anybody know of a warez site from which I can get the security patch for free.
