That sounds a lot like OneNote, part of Office 2003. A product that is shipping now and doesn't require a Tablet PC, but rocks your ass when used on one.
But of course, Microsoft doesn't innovate or anything.
Those 30,000 users are a drop in the bucket when compared to the total number of Federal employees and offices.
Will the slashdot readers be hypocrites or will they denounce FUD when it comes from Linux Journal? If Microsoft (or a journal that is focused on MS technology) had released a statement that "two-thirds of the US government runs MS software!" then there would be a huge shitstorm.
I haven't seen this (or haven't noticed any differences in versions) in my local BB.
What I do see, is the "unrated" versions of American Pie, Road Trip, etc. I also see a lot of soft pr0n titles interspersed, (Poison Ivy series, Red Shoe Diaries, etc.)
Are they inconsistently applying this alleged policy?
I'd say there are many corporations that have a financial interest in stopping email spam.
In actuality, the big three IM companies have the luxury of developing their own protocols and applications, and to have the opportunity to make changes to their own code and specs to stop SPIM.
Nothing short of a massive rewrite of the RFCs *and* mass migration to new MTAs compliant with the new RFCs will accomplish the same for SMTP.
I fail to see what the linked MS KB article has to do with drive imaging for backup or transferring purposes.
The article clearly states that MS does not support drive imaging as a *deployment* method. Nowhere does it say that disk duplication software is not allowed ever.
Back to the question hidden at the end of the/. story. If you're looking to take all of the files on the HD (including those in use or flagged as being important to the OS) then you can use the native W2K/XP backup utility to back up to a file. No tapes are necessary. If you want to do a full restore to the same system, you can do so. If you want to restore to another system you can do so.
There are other misleading statements in the original poster's message. He includes a link implying that Ghost is Microsoft's recommended tool for drive imaging when the KB article says nothing of the sort.
It implied it was only interested in who provides community support to whom, which implies they are only tracking the microsoft.public.* groups, which they own, host and propogate.
I don't think they're interested in who's posting to alt.binaries.linus.naked. More Slashdot FUD folks, nothing to see here.
Have any of you heard of the Microsoft MVP program? It is a way to recognize the people who provide free peer support in the MS newsgroups. To be nominated as an MVP you must have a certain number of correct and relevant responses in the newsgroups. How else are they going to pick someone to be an MVP if they can't track?
I know this is one man's claim and all that, but I wanted to prepare myself for the rest of the thread.
Just so I know: Is it OK on Slashdot for a computer company to engage in unfair business practices as long as it's name doesn't begin with an "M" and end with an "icrosoft"?
"Crusade" refers to the historical wars fought by early Christians against the Muslims.
It was the "Last Crusade", whereby a group of Western people go to the Middle East to retrieve a Christian artifact. According to the pseudo history of the films, the last artifact known to exist is the grail cup. After the movie is over, the cup is gone. No more crusades to be had.
If spammers were only concerned with "clean" lists of probable dupes, they could very easily filter out the following probable complainers from their lists: - role accounts (postmaster@, abuse@ ) - well-known complainers (whitelisting) - entire spam-unfriendly domains (@spamcop.net)
Slashdot Mirror
Messenger Service (NET SEND) isn't the same thing as Windows Messenger (IM Utility).
It's confusing, I'll grant you, but they're not the same.
But of course, Microsoft doesn't innovate or anything.
One third?
One of three branches, yes.

It's frigging June!
The article does not concern "leaked" documents from inside MS.
Typical SlashDot FUD to rouse up the troops...

Do you really think the companies will lower prices as a result of their cost savings?

It wasn't "Indiana Jones' Last Crusade".

Speaking of which, isn't it time to declare Apple dead? ;)
8 weeks is BS! How come it takes far less time for the information on your rebate form to make it onto the snail mail and telemarketing lists?
That's not necesarily true;

Yet they don't. Rule #1, folks.
Mod the parent post up!
That's the point; if the need from which the visa program was generated is no longer valid, then the program should go as well.
Was that necessary either?

I just checked into my Hotmail account, went to options, profile, and my previously-defined "do not spam or share" preferences were still intact.
Do any of you kneejerk MS-haters actually verify anything before you bitch about them?
