Let me clarify this, since alot of zealots have this wrong.
Mac was the first OEM to sign up for GeForce3.
PC enthusiasts will be able to buy a GeForce3 before Macs come out with them.
PC users will have GeForce3 before Mac users.
Macs will be the first OEM to sell them with a system.
Slackware uses tagfiles to do customized unattended installs, not dissimilar to the Microsoft unattended installs. Without the License key and agreeing to the EULA of course.
I've never seen or used a 1.x linux kernel, and I don't see why anyone else would. It's like comparing Dos 3 to Win2k, you just don't do it.
What incompatibilities by the way? Most people don't run 2 different kernels on the same system at the same time. Need to upgrade from 2.0 or 2.2 to 2.4? Of course you need new modutils and some other packages, but these packages are free, and are incredibly easy to install (rpm,pkgtool,apt).
It sounds like you have either never used Linux or have been bitten hard as a newbie and gave up (this happens to most RedHat users)
On http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/guide/server/ solutions/overview/reliable/default.asp Microsoft explains how Windows 2000 is "Five nines 99.999% uptime", and on the right is a link to a Starbucks Windows 2000 study.
It goes on to say how much better the coffee is and how much happier customers are because of Windows 2000.
There's nothing wrong with reading some source and getting inspiration from it.
It's quite different to cut and paste code (like nvidia did with the first release of thier binary driver) and to realize a superior way of doing something and writing your own code to achieve the same effect as someone else's.
Microsoft has an internal team that regularly audits the Linux kernel source and the Samba source, among other things.
You can bet your ass that if they find something that works better than what they have, they will copy it, regardless of the License attached to it.

The book it was based on was called Red Dragon.
I called a local radio station to correct thier announcement that part 2 of the silence of the lambs was out, and they had no idea what I was talking about.
What about SaSHa, following the SaMBa naming system.
They couldn't call Samba "SMB Server" because someone else had that name, so the dictionary said "samba" or "salmonberry".
I just downloaded a script from freshmeat, and NAT worked on my slackware machine.
If OpenBSD's nat is 20 times easier than this, then it must not only read your mind as to the fact that you want nat, but it will have it configured for you at least 3 years before you even think of configuring it.
Microsoft took the BSD code, added proprietary extensions to it (of course), and re-released it under thier all-powerful EULA. The BSD license permits this.
If it was Linux code it would be called theft, although it has been leaked that Microsoft has a team dedicated to auditing the linux kernel and samba especially in order to "inspire" thier own code.
In many ways, the BSD license is responsible for the success of Microsoft, because instead of coding themselves, it took less time to take someone else's free code, change the license and sell it.
Please explain how a corporation can 'capture' *BSD? Does the code suddenly disappear when a corporation distribute a binary without releasing the source?
Yes, see Microsoft Windows TCP/IP.
Where's the source?
Some journalist, all he had to do was connect to ftp.cdrom.com and get the server text file and jpg. That is not difficult research, and he couldn't do it.
This article is worthless, I want to see extremely detailed tuning specifications, tuned by people qualified to tune them, even Linusor some people from RedHat for god's sakes. I particularly like the bootup "benchmark", I can make Linux bootup for really long just by enabling dhcp and not having a dhcp server on the network. Let's get some details dude.
I realize FreeBSD may be faster for a lot of things, and it's possible that Linux might win a few too, I don't care, I just want to see a fair comparison for once, and that hasn't happened yet.
Windows 2000 allows you to log in before it has established any of the networking. A couple of times I've logged in while its still thrashing and the network connections didn't work until I rebooted.
Now I wait until the disk stops thrashing before I even touch the keyboard.
The last several months have seen most of the major music labels release songs in Microsoft's Windows Media format, which has built-in copy protection, or DRM (digital rights management) technology. Most of the labels are quick to say they are technology agnostics, but in a few cases their commercial download services are using exclusively Microsoft technology.
Strange, I always thought DRM was the Direct Rendering Manager, which allows for the Direct Rendering Infrastructure to directly access graphics hardware in a safe and efficient manner.
Or assuming that the game is in your path, such as/usr/local/bin, you can just type the name of the game in the open xterm (or equivalent) that you already had open because the only real work you can get done on a computer requires a command line.
Or even as a faster time saver, simply type the first part of the program name and hit tab, and if its not ambiguous, it will auto-complete the name of the program.

Does the fact that Microsoft took the Windows 2000 Team to Whistler/Blackcomb in British Columbia have anything to do with the beta name?
Slashdot Mirror
It's already been ported:
bluescr.tar.gz, uses svgalib
part of xscreensaver, about 4/5 down the page
Microsoft did cherry pick Samba, which is GPL'd.
How do you think they finally got that WINS crap to work so well in Windows 2000 (despite the fact they are trying to kill it with MS-DNS)?
Samba is the only fully documented source for the SMB implementation on Windows, not even Microsoft has documentation that thorough.
Emulating a keypress is actually what the Microsoft wheely optical mouse does for the side thumb and pinky buttons. They aren't button 6/7.
Wouldn't pressing them show up as a keycode in xev?

r bucks.com indeed says "The site www.starbucks.com is running Microsoft-IIS/5.0 on Windows 2000." not a big surprise.

However, this is one of the sites that netcraft tracks for uptime.
Note: Uptime - the time since last reboot is explained in the FAQ
Plotted Value : Windows 2000
No. samples : 250
Max : 215.28
Latest : 3.18
3 days uptime is not something to brag about, Microsoft. Do some research before you stick your foot in your mouth, but only after shooting it.

I never realized that having a Microsoft certification = the right to cut down their products.
Maybe I won't hide my certification away after all.

You mean like how Internet Explorer runs in Ring 0?
It's the only "application" that I have seen that can lock up a Windows 2000 computer.
(yes I have Windows 2000 installed, it locked up solid on me yesterday twice, just from scrolling a web page.)
Can you do that in Windows 98/ME/NT/2K ?
