With linux getting better and better with hardware support (Ubuntu Dapper fixed even some paperweight webcams and printers gifted by well meaning relatives..), could we eventually see a MS gui/userland running on top of linux ? Will MS *ever* opensource their stuff ? Windows Neo... 5-10 years out maybe ??
Let's have a sweepstake on when that might happen, just for the kudos, you understand. I'll kick off with 2013 - lucky for some !
Actually it would be *very* cool to have a fully functioning MS/GNU/Linux, cos Mac OSX/Parallels certainly has the edge there today. Except that the MS parts would probably still be broken in some way;o) lol....
Dow Jones & Co., the media company that manages the well-known index of 30 blue chip stocks, said it discovered shortly before 2 p.m. that its computers weren't properly handling the day's huge volume in trades at the New York Stock Exchange.
It switched to a backup computer, and the result was a massive swoon in the index as the secondary system took over processing shortly before 3 p.m.
that is a great book, just re-read it a week or so ago, the twist near the end is one of the very best.. I won't spoil it for anyone, just make sure you read Non-stop if you like SF.
Hmm. Assuming you have no budget and no alternative computing facilities..
Could the IBM product function without the MS one ? Yes, you could download an alternative OS for free. Could the MS product function without the IBM one ? No.

huh ? I just did the search again and got the following for the US, similar to what you got but different again:

google results don't differ that much from search to search - something tells me this algorithm is less than deterministic. $DEITY only knows what happened first time round;o)
Hear hear. Where I work, we have been using scrum for a couple of years, it works very well for us. We have 2 week sprints for finer granularity of deliverable code, and use XPlanner (http://www.xplanner.org/) for tracking the product backlog and sprint stories / tasks - XPlanner displays sprint progress in the form of a burn-down graph, which is great as you can see at a glance how well the sprint is going. As pigs also positively encourage chickens to attend, and that's very useful for everyone.

Why limit it to OSes that are for sale ?

Go with IBM, brother.
Windows Titanic, or WinTit for short
see http://www.deltacast.tv/Products/Delta_sdi.htm - their SDI cards (1/2 size PCI) will do 8/10 bit I/O YUV or RGB on Linux 2.4 or 2.6. They also have an SDK - see http://www.deltacast.tv/Products/VideoMaster_SDK.h tm
Disclaimer: I haven't used these, but a quick google turned them up.

The software will also be sold in conjunction with computer hardware, following Tesco's entry into this market earlier this year, and via tesco.com.
makes it too easy to switch context during a lull in the action....
.. come on .. you can't spell "constellation" ? pfft...
it's too frustrating - for both players !

I'd have thought that China wouls be encouraging webpages talking about Falun Gong in such glowing terms. Bizarre.
why not use the best of both opensource and commercial ? IBM's UIMA looks interesting - see http://www.research.ibm.com/UIMA/
That'll teach 'em good.

Yep, they run once a day. Just in time for the scrum !
