Bill Gates is an idiot that grew up in a timer for prosperity, he got lucky and learned mistakes along the way to make him the successful business man he is today. He has never been able to foresee the future of the market nor do I think he ever will, if he starts charging monthy for his software I am more than sure Apple would love this chance to increase their market share, and Linux would also prosper even though linux sucks total ass at being a desktop machine by then it would have had plenty of time to catch up to the slow moving programming of microsoft, slow because they keep their code closed so less people have a hand in the bag..
I dont see how he can justify hardware will be free? Perhaps he is taking a look at the advancements wireless phone companies are having, their service costs money but you can get the hardware for %100 free in ALOT of cases, depending on situations of course.
If the IT industry does become as demanding as the wireless phone industry their may be so much demand to force companies to take a hit on hardware and make their gains in a type of service agreement, ISP + PC FEE (They pay for their ISP and an additional fee of 25 dollars a month and every 2-3 years they recieve a new PC).
There are too many factors in the market for him to come out and say this, lots of people do not like a monthly debt. Of course this would most likely strike only the average consumer (dell purchasers) rather than the computer enthusiast, I do not think the ability to put your own machine together will ever go away, but I do see alternatives to hardware moving to monthly subscriptions, especially since they already have loan payments setup so why not take something that is already occuring and make it invisibly worse for the consumer and make a profit from it, while all in all the consumer thinks they are getting a better deal? Sound pretty smart from the money making side of things!!
Do you need a house with four bedrooms and a large kitchen? You could could get away with 1 bedroom share the kitchen between two families. Do you need a V6 versus a V4? Do you need desert after you eat dinner? Do you really need the extra 20 inches on your television screen? Do all the roads need to be paved, how about only the ones used most often!
Do you seem my point? Its called industrialization and its what keeps the economy going which in turn keeps you going by feeding you and your family! Reports like these are created by Pessemist's!!
Eelskin wallets do not erase credit cards, that is a myth. The MythBusters have proved this is a myth (its s show on tv where they do research on myths to find truth or myth)!!! They also found out that static will not have an effect, they even held the credit card up to a magnet and kept bumping the power up til it finally got erased, the results are suprising.
LMFAO, they are idiots. Sun wont be around much longer as they cant seem to market anything ver well. Ontop of that the only flagship they have is their JAVA and Solaris solution which is quit legacy in its own. Good performace you say, compared to what? Other solutions can offer competetive performace with much more intuitive administration and end user friendliness.
Desktop Solution? Are you kidding me? Solaris already has an inteface that is a joke and SWING is the ugliest thing known to man, not to mention performes slow and responsivness is questionable.
Sun needs to get a grip and catch up with the times. Two years ago they were praising their 'new' processor that will revolutionize the industry, being the equivalant of 20 processors in one, wth happened to that? Still in development like most of Sun's stuff?
I have personal experience with Sun and this is why I hate them. The day they go down burning in flames is the day I celebrate a company that couldnt do shit right is gone forever!!!
(and for you english professors out there, a little side note. Intelligence is not judged by my grammar in a discussion board!)
I dont know where you got the idea that nothing top secret is not stored on windows. Maybe you were dropped on your head when you were small or something...
I would concider being a telemarketer to not be a job or the worst excuse of a job. Anyone can dial a damn number and ask someone to buy something... Can we say bone head?
Obviously you have no idea how bankruptcy works! If you can't declare bankruptcy to rid yourself of student loans what makes you think you can rid yourself of a government controlled fine.
You know some of you people have such a closed mind I wonder how you get along in the world..Net is anything but slow and you cant tell me different. Why can you not tell me different well perhaps because I am speaking from experience and lots of it and real life experience is the ultimate decision maker. If you use DirectX 9 for gaming you will be fine. Lets just say that you can go much further than Java would ever get you... Oh and what do you mean the days when everyone complained java was slow? Java still is shit ass slow!
Your a fucken idiot... I can tell you one thing for sure.NET will overtake Sun's bullshit excuse for a language (Java) and incorporate it into many other operating systems in the such. Stuck in proprietary? Dude WTF do you think Java is? SUN is proprietary just as Microsoft, hell Sun even takes people to court left and right to protect their precious Java. Ok back to what I was talking about..Net is gaining superior ground, most government agency's are switching over to.Net and dropping Java and I know this for a fact. Also Huge corporations like mine (HP) for instance are asking the majority of their employees to get.Net certified. Java is loosing its foothold! Why? #1: Backwards compatability between Runtime versions is Horrible!! a program will work in version 1.3.1 but wont work in 1.3.5 or any versions there after! #2: It is slower than hell!! #3: SUN itself is losing its foot in the market. Only holding about 3% of the market share now for server related products!
My key points and you can fight them all you want.. But one thing stand clear is that you have a clounded view on things and are refusing to take yur head outta yur ass to take a look at the big picture and with yur racist outlook towards Microsoft it seems you will not likely have much of a career left if you have one at all...

Well put...But gotta love how them Anti-War people stand out their with their little signs like fools thinkin they are making a difference in the world by pouting like little kids and praying to god for help. But if im not mistaken god is all about gettin rid of evil in the world???
Dude you are the type of people that put humanity to shame. Let me whip out my magic wand so we can have software that has no bugs, a world without war. Seriously you are as ignorant as a rock...Lets relate this to other objects in the world. Lets elaborate on your metaphor a bit. Cars get recalls for what reason? Oh thats right there was a bug in the design of the vehicle..ooops..now we gotta fix it.
"Our expecations on software quality are so abysmally low" WTF are you talkin about...Plus your logic is flawed. Airbags are in cars because everyone needs them in order to survive a car wreck. I dont think everyone needs virus software. I sure as hell know I dont because Im not stupider than a rock and opening executable mail attachments from someone I dont know. With your logic a TV should turn itself on probe my mind for the movie I want to watch and turn itself off when im done. Go read some more newbie books and maybe you will be able to think like a real engineer rather than a lil computer newbie that just learned how to assemble his own case...God people like you piss me off...
This is quit funny because I work for a contractor that gets rid of old pentagon systems...SCI, Secret, and Unclassed systems and we just got done getting rid of a crapload of systems that are being trashed..not donated but trashed..The government wastes about 200 good systems a day..And this is from my job alone..I have personally witnessed this stuff being tossed in the garbage..We have picked up 20,000 dollars servers still working and have trashed them...Of course after all of its hard drives have been degaussed by the people with level 6 security..
Hello!!!!
This is really a pointless study that doesnt take all account into it. Evolution will enable humans to breath the "new" or not so new atmosphere as I'm sure the first breed of humans could not breathe the atmosphere of today as its highly polluted with toxic fumes causing more damage than 2 cigarettes a day in highly populated areas such as new york city. Nature will always find a way to keep us alive along with all the other creatures. I mean hell if fungus can live in space im sure we can breathe acid air.
This sorta defeats the purposes of the Internet being so robust. If their server goes down they wont get a reply for the fastast route so wouldnt that cause a major timeout scheme going on which you would have to wait 60 seconds or so before the server realizes "oh their down lets search the old fashioned way" which supposivly will cause more time to do according to this article. I dunno but from what I pulled from the article it seems a little etchy.
If the electrons are cooled down enough the wire gauge will not be a problem because the electrons will in sense be in a more controlled manner and will not cause metal displacement as often.

Yeah its amazing how you dont like something when you suck at it.
I program in C#, came from VC++ WIN32, I like C# alot, its a great language and rapidly speeds up the productivity of a project!
Totally agreed!!!
But I get bad karma for all of my Sun flaiming...
Pardon my grammatical mistakes, I wrote that in a hurry! :)

EMC is moving hard and fast. They are definitly taking the initiative this year into the market, especially in the government sector.
