I'll take what they said as fact, I have no reason to believe they tried to mislead me, or any of the other developers and beta testers.
MS have no reason to mislead anyone? You have got to be joking.
"MS Pride" is a very good reason for them to lie (aka "market") NT as a completely new codebase, besides MS doesn't throw anything away, and I'm sure they wouldn't throw away the OS/2 code. Besides then and still now, I think IBM has a better record of writing reliable software.
Very true... One of the few "rewrites" that Microsoft has rever done is the NT codebase (which was actually more of OS/2 morphing into NT), and that wasn't a true rewrite since the "original" DOS/Win31 codebase keps livingo on with Win96/98/ME.
MS has tried some rewrites (I think they tried in Excel rewrite, I think Code Complete references that) but scraped them (also never giving up on the previous generation codebase).
That's one thing they do well (for better or worse) is not waste any money on rewrites (look at Win9x)
I totally agree that it has to do with RedHat moving away from the home user market. I admit that I loved RedHat's personal Linux, and bought many copies of it (at the stores and from them directly), and never "wasted their time" with support from them. I bought it because I liked supporting them. I haven't looked at SuSE in a while, although I think I will now. I like the "ease of use/install/etc" that the packaged linux distros provided for my work machine (since I'd rather just install linux and have it all work, no need to rebuild a kernel or hack around on it). It was nice and easy. I'm sure fedora will be cool too, however I'm not so sure. I'm definately turned off by RedHat's move, I understand that they want to keep making money, however I feel as unimportant to them as a customer as I do using Windows (which is one of the reasons why I like Linux).
Anyway, Ximian rocks, and hopefully Novell doesn't loose interest in Linux like they did with so many former purchases.

Sounds like a good idea, after all Apple's trying to make video chat easy to use for the mases... Maybe Kazaa should also implement the same specs that Apple is with their iChat.
I just have the horrible nested folders which get rearanged in to categories way too often. Makes it hard to find stuff. Grep doesn't work too well on OpenOffice documents, etc.
There's Neo, Agendus for Windows users, and a couple of other products out there, but this is definately a place where a 'killer app' could be used. The only problem is that too many companies use Exchange vs. IMAP or some standard that people can't get off of Outlook (and Outlook sucks). Evolution has their Outlook connector so you can use it, but it's too similiar to Outlook (but at least it can get you off of Windows).
I know there is a better way, but I don't know what it is....
This is true... Try to create a product which implements the SCC interface for Source Control.. Even some companies can't use it because the nasty legal agreement bundled with an NDA making you not even acknowledge that there is this API doesn't fly with some corporate legal departments.
This is a story, it's just dressed up all pretty by MS to make it look like nothing.

Realizing that free speech, although constitutionally guaranteed can pose a risk to marketing campaigns, propaganga, and other outright lies. The MPAA has already began buying^H^H^H^H^H^H^H talking with various senators and congressmen to reach a solution to this so-called "first amendment" clause which seems to be causing the MPAA so much grief lately.
I can see the argument for doing this, however I also know this would lead to privacy issues, and abuse by various and sundry gov't agencies. It's sort of like having a briefcase full of someone else's money and promising not to go shopping.
Actually you can install Oracle on RH8/9 (I've done both), check out http://www.werner.us for some instructions and stuff about how to do it. I've got it running on my Dell laptop on RH9 and it's good enough to develop against.
I use the IOGear MiniView 4-port USB-KVM switch.. Have had it for a couple of years now... I use it with my Mac, Sun Blade, Windows XP laptop, and Linux machine. The Mouse wheel works fine on all of these. It's around $130 at Fry's or online and includes cables (so it's not too expensive) Here's a URL on tigerdirect for it. Not a recommendation on where to buy, but they seem nice. (and no, I dont' work for them!)
I called them to get DSL when I moved (within Cali). I went to DSLReports.com and saw where the CO is and how far away I am. I called SBC -- They told me I'm too far for DSL (yeah, right, I'm like 1/3 the max distance).
So, I called Covad (who uses SBC's last-mile line) and got 1.5/384 with them. SBC's customer service doesn't know what they are doing, and what's worse is they don't really care to know.
Their office hours are horrible (I mean, most huge non-monopolies have 24hr customer service), you can't phone in a payment easily, if you get online billing, you don't get a paper bill anymore.
And the sad part is they seem to be on par with all the other baby-bells.
Just my rants on my local phone monopoly and they 're lame customer service....
(although AT&T's local phone customer service is 10 times worse from what I hear)
In short, Novel thinks SCO has lost it's gord, SCO knows they are hosed, and are creating MS style FUD by saying anything to get their lame company in the news....
I hope Novell is right in: "We believe it unlikely that SCO can demonstrate that it has any ownership whatsoever in those copyrights," said Jack Messman, Novell's chief executive, in a statement Wednesday
But anyway, I'd pay a couple of bucks, especially if we get a Pay-Per-View event of Linus kicking McBride upside the head.
Not sure if it'd be worth the bother... SCO's "enhancements" (if you can call them that) generally suck anyway. I'd rather just see a parody distro of SCO than anything attempting to be usefull...
Besides, RedHat, Gentoo, and SuSE are way better (as well as being alot nicer) Although the whole RedHat/Pink Tie thing is a bit annoying...

Oddly enough Searching for [XFree86 "No devices detected,"] returns what you would expect (w/o any stupid warnings).

I know how you feel, I used to be the same way until I started using Firebird... (the next generation Moz, or so I hear after 1.6 now)
It has the google search thing (not the same as the google toobar), but it's pretty nice...
New Mozilla's are always cool.. Check out Firebird if you haven't yet.

The comparason of different UNIX flavours is a bit interesting (although I like Solaris much better than AIX, I just wish Sun was a smarter company)
It is good to note that for a company who "owns" UNIX, their offerings do suck pretty bad... No wonder they are so tee'ed off at Linux.
