Well, It seems fairly irrelevant to me whether NT service pack 6 breaks Notes deliberately or accidentally. In the former case, it's criminal, in the latter, it's incompetence.
In either case, developers and users should think very carefully about their use of and reliance on software from closed source companies like Microsoft.
This problem would be almost inconceivable with Linux. I find more and more that closed source software simply cannot be trusted.
This article is just like the typical "How to optimise Windows" articles.
It assumes that all you can do to an OS is optimise bits of it and that the "power" of Linux is simply it's speed. The benefits of doing what this article suggests are negligible. The only real reason for users to do this is to fix bugs. At *best* this article is dangerous; It tells users to change the default linux entry in lilo.conf rather than add an additional entry.
They'd be much better focusing on how to use things like cron and shell scripting.
I've found that the Chinese culture tend to do business a little differently. Much more family and friend oriented, but personal integrity is very important.
Still, they do seem to be going for an IPO rather quickly.
Sorry mister "Anonymous Coward", We're replacing NT boxes all over the place with... Tada... Linux! Not Novell, not Solaris.
Sounds like competition to me!
Do you NT guys don't think at all? Oh, sorry. You've got Mocrosoft to do that for you. Getting worried about your job yet?
Marvin the martian? You know that the Internet is a global network and cultural references don't travel real well?
My "circle" is at a conservative estimate, an exponentially increasing 10 million users.
P.S. I don't huff and puff. I just get the job done.
You sound more angry to me. Is that because you're going to get ripped off and you know that you're going to get ripped off and your boss knows that you're going to be ripped off too?

Cheapest iMac I've seen is about $2000.
Scheduled down time: none
HTTP/FTP Servers are experiencing intermittent problems.
File Manager Tool is temporarily unavailable.
Site Statistics are temporarily unavailable.
New, fully-qualified Domain Name Registration is temporarily down.
Actually, I'll be suprised if they stay with IIS in the long term. It's a pain to manage and unreliable.
:-)
And soon, they're going to have to pay by the session.

Am I the only person that'd love to see some photo's?
Seems like the movers and shakers are just a bunch of sheep after all.
These analyst firms get soo.. much wrong, in fact it's difficult to think of stuff that they got right.
Jeez I thought the guys at the top were paid to think, not just be herded along with all the other schmucks.
Oh yeah... Mindcraft vindicate Mindcraft's reputation. Ha.
Mindcraft Certification?
Excellent. I haven't had such a good laugh in weeks!
Mindcraft certify that the conditions chosen in the above benchmarks were specially chosen to make their biggest buddies (Micro$oft) happy.
What? Was I supposed to take this seriously?

Have a look at the GPL please.
You'll find that from now and forever more, the source is free.
They are going *down* .
It has to be really tempting for all you US bods to go short on MSFT on monday!
Damn my fingers... What can I say, It's Sunday, I'm at work. :(
Linux doesn't really try to be innovative technically. It's a bloody Unix clone!
Where it *is* innovative is the licensing and distribution! Using the GPL for a whole OS *is* innovative.
It's changed the whole industry!
All Linux companies seem to be American, European or Far East.
Is the UK really that difficult to get started?

This is really the realm of ADSM and Legato Networker with a Storage Tek or IBM library attached, and yes it is expensive.
The closest Open Source software I've come across is Amanda.
The thing is though, the backup hardware is only part of the solution:
You need:
1: Fast tape streamers.
2: Well designed and very fast network.
3: Fast system to handle the library, spool
the incoming backups to disk and stream
spooled data to all the tapes.
4: A 600+ cartridge library + robot.
5: Offsite storage for 600 copied tapes.
6: A documented plan for when the bombs go
off.
And you have to do all this from scratch. The commercial systems have all of the above covered aleady.
I've never *really* tried Amanda so I'm not sure how it'd handle the volume you mentioned.
I know ADSM can handle that kind of volume and the hardware, even though it is like beating your head repeatedly against a padded cell wall.
Can pick up a projector for about $5,000 and just project on to the screen.
Resolution is only 1024x768 though.
What more is there to say. Neo owned the Matrix and so was effectively God. All that was left was to clean up the planet.
Spectacular effects scenes though.
Ummm....
Or WIMD
Gday Tet.
In that case, why does the dreamcast have the MS logo plastered all over it?
How on earth will Sega compete against the company that owns the OS they are using?
Ouch! Wince is definitely the right word for it.
Agree with JD. Look at their web site. Some very sophisticated systems there. Maybe 10 years ahead of the market.
Though any international corporation which doesn't encrypt all WAN traffic deserves everything they get.
I wonder how much the parking would be.
You don't like this? Go find a "C colon backslash" web site.
We don't feel threatened by MS, they are an irrelevance.
Sounds like competition to me!
