Wouldn't it be more reasonable to suspect that any such crippling would have be done by Hitachi, specifically to avoid giving away their hold on the market for large fast digital camera media?

Is this definition incorrect? Does it somehow not apply to WINE? I don't see it.
I could swear that the WINE web site established that "Windows Emulator" and "Wine Is Not an Emulator" were both acceptable expansions, though it's been a few years. Perhaps things have changed since then.
I'm sure that your Win 95 machine running on a 386/20 with 8mb does not run very responsively. Obviously, a 386/20 with 8mb of RAM is below the sys requirements that MSFT released for Win 95
I seem to recall that the minimum hardware requirements for the original release of Windows 95 as indicated on the box were for a 386DX with 4 MB, though a 486 and 8 MB were recommended. Regardless, you're probably right; Microsoft wouldn't care.
I'd rather pay an extra $200 and get the OTHER really small computer.
But the new Fruit Box is described as an eight-inch cube. Sixty-four cubic inches would produce a rather unsightly bulge when stuffed in your pocket, now, wouldn't it?

I've never seen Outlook for the Macintosh, but Outlook Express for MacOS is indeed pervasively AppleScriptable. Not only that, but if you receive a Macintosh executable as an attachment in Outlook Express, its presence is indicated by a blank document icon (rather the diamond that traditionally indicates an executable file type in MacOS), and the default behavior of Outlook Express on double-clicking the icon is to execute it. So it would be quite easy to make a compiled-as-application AppleScript named something innocuous like 'pricelist.txt'. Most users would probably just double-click the icon, expecting the attached 'text file' to open in SimpleText, and then, well, you get the point. In theory, of course...
A web server written in BASIC, in traditional BASIC spaghetti style.
It doesn't handle images, as the novelty of working in this so-called programming languge again for the first time in 12 years quickly wore off. I hope I haven't caused myself any permanent nerve damage.
If I recall correctly, the PS/2 series wasn't introduced until 1987 (including the i8086 models). They may be horribly outdated, but they certainly aren't, well...old.
Don't need a license clause for that. When you buy hardware from Apple, they throw in the MacOS for free. You shouldn't have too much trouble getting a $0 refund out of Apple for the unused software.
With the Microsoft Mouse 2.x, anyway, (the standard two-button variety) there were two different versions - the retail packaged version, which had a smooth white shell, and the OEM version (For Distribution With New Hardware Only) which had a textured grayish shell. The OEM mice are, in my experience, cheaply constructed and prone to failure. They're the same shape, but other than that, the mechanisms, the switches, the cable and connector, the internal construction, are all totally different.
It seems that on many (most?) PC motherboards, one side of the speaker connector is constantly at +5V relative to the chassis, not 0 as you might expect. I once managed to destroy a speaker by mis-connecting it across the +5 side of the speaker header and one of the ground pins for one of the LEDs, and leaving it that way for a while before realizing there wasn't any sound.

They do? God damn! What's another example?

So what if they no longer sell the thing? Chevrolett no longer sells 1957 Chevys, yet try walking up to one and just taking it.
Well, obviously you couldn't just go and take someone elses car. But how about making a copy of it? That is what we're talking about here, right?
Yeah, I know it was a troll, but I'm really bored.

Nah, in the computer industry, EVERYONE gets to call themselves an "engineer." Even the PHBs and Marketing Weasels. I swear it's true.

This has nothing to do with static.

Ah, the sort of subtle humor that once characterized The Simpsons, but has long been missing...

Did anyone else catch the label on Bender's beer bottle?
Gee, I wonder how long until MS invents a true pre-emptive multitasking, multi-user OS? The worls will just have to wait and see.
What, Windows Terminal Server doesn't count? It's multi-user, sort of.
This one?
Sure, they went out of their way to make it look more like MacOS 8, but its still largely the same.
