O/S 2 Failed because it only supported SCSI out of the box. An installer had to modify scripts and data files on the install disks to set up an IDE system. So only fairly advanced users could do it and, anyway, SCSI is expensive compared to IDE.
That and Microchannel killed the IBM OS. It wasn't lack of applications...
If SOAP really replaces DCOM, CORBA, Bonobo, et.al. then who is going to really need an emulator? If you are instantiating a SOAP object then who cares what OS it was written for or runs on?
DirectX 8.0 is completely compatible with versions going back to 3.0 They did not break anything! They added new interfaces, sure, but everything else is still there and even better performing!
I studied Broadcast Journalism in College. Was national honors society. But I have been programming, mostly in c++, since '84. What is the university but a place where we learn how to learn? Then it is up to you!
to write anything. These salesmen posing as journalists are getting way out of hand. They pretend to be objective but they aren't. Clearly Petreley is owned by Sun and Oracle. He is so deep in their backpocket that he hasn't seen the light of day in years. But he wants YOU to know that HE knows everything and, if you disagree, you know nothing. He is a self-absorbed geek and his remarks do not bear examination.
This will never happen. Clearly the author has no idea what drives MS. This would mean a programmer at a large firm could not write a 'run-once' kind of application. That would kill the popularity of the OS. MS is not as naive as the author would have us beleive.
If you really are sharing with immediate freinds and family then this is clearly allowed by law. Explicitly. However, 'sharing' with millions of strangers is considered to violate the law.
What a cleverly constructed argument. "Intellectual propert is bunk therefore Copyright is OK." What a marvelous argument and conclusion. It is so easy to follow this brilliant line of reasoning.
Come on on you democrat's let hear it; "We Do! We believe that Gore invented the economy! There would not be any damn economy without Clinton! And Gore! (These damn hackers and nerds may think they had some thing to do with the booming high tech economy but let me tell you right here; Gore invented the economy!"
I use @home and am well protected. Every port is stealthed. It is too cool for school. I am in a lockbox. No one can find me, much less attack me. Now DSL needs the consumer to provide their own protection...
I have been coding in C and C++ since 1984. I make my living doing this. This internet C++ is stupid. All you have to do is give up all the performance benefits of writing in C++ in order to run your code through an interpreter. Stupid. They think it is revolutionary to have the C++ compiled by the user on whatever OS they run. You have ALWAYS been able to do this. The problem is in writing the 'multiplatform' platform code properly. Internet C++ doesn't seem to have any help there. This is just stupid.
Anyway, C# and the CLR are ALREADY IN THE PUBLIC DOMAIN just like C++! Duh! Ever hear of ECMA? Unlike the highly propietary Java which is controlled by mandate by a single company.
It has a good looking design. Whoever posted this is language challenged. I wonder what features here turned the submitter off? Too bad he has such a lousy grasp of our language that he is unable to communicate his feelings about product design. I hope this inablity to speak meaningfully does not carry over into his personal life but I expect it does... Too bad sport.

Why not instantiate DirectX objects using SOAP on a *NIX system to run DirectX Games? Yeah, there would be a little network latency but... Why not?

I don't know how many times you have to hear this but it is the truth and will be born out in court, "Microsoft is not a monopoly."
Two misses do not make a hit!

I am not at work. You mean you ARE? Then why are you purposefully wasting your employers time?
Who is this clown who imagines that I might even care about his depreciating comments about MS Whistler.

Bunk!

Hello, my name is Al Gore.

What are you talking about?
Corel is porting .Net to Linux. In two to three years the most stable GUI on the planet will be available for Linux.
Duh! Apple thinks more than one button on a mouse is too complex. You must be pretty simple too?
I really like this desktop system. Very Very Nice. These guys also understand programmers and end users the way gnu gnever will... Coolness.

I am glad they dropped the Barney Purple cases and went for something a little more adult.
