What Sony announced today is completely different from what was announced last year. What a let down. And the price?! Insane. Also look at what you DON'T get in the base system:
The base system LACKS: - An extra 40Gb (base has 20, premium has 60). - Memory Stick / SD / Compact Flash support. - Wifi support (802.11 b/g) - HDMI out
If you want any of those you must buy the $600 premium system! Crazy!
SDF (which stands for simple document format) is easy to use and can generate output in HTML, PostScript, PDF, man pages, POD, LaTeX, SGML, MIMS HTX and F6 help, MIF, RTF, windows help and plain text.
Of course it also does more, but the only way to get the skinny is to visit it's homepage at: http://www.mincom.com/mtr/sdf/
Actually, if memory serves me, SCUM released Win95 before DoD... It was acually labeled as the most recent Win95 beta build at the time, but shortly after its release that particilar beta version went gold without any additional modifications after its release. DoD then put out a release that was idential to the earlier SCUM release but it was labeled Win95 instead of beta.
You beat me to it. I submitted the similar article back in '99 and felt a strange sense of deja-vu reading the slashdot headline. Common slashdot, lets try to keep it fresh!
