You have to have privileges access to the computer in order to be able to do this, though.
And if you have that kind of access, you can do just about anything you want, anyway.
Nope, that isn't even close to the reason.
MS has gone to *extremely* long lengths to make 9x & NT very much compatible.
But they are very different OS once you go down (below the win32 API, mainly).
For starters, it's 9x that hold all the legacy code that is supposed to make DOS programs work.
The whole *point* of 9x is to move DOS style applications to NT style applications.
I think that MS would've been overjoyed if it could've dumped DOS & 9x all together long ago, it has a far superior product in its hands (NT).
I'm not sure if Linux is suffering from the same problem (having to maitain compatability with legacy code, so you can't solve problems the most efficent way), but I would be surprised if it didn't. (or would, soon)
As I said, 9x was meant to serve one purpose, move people from DOS to NT.
If you have a lot of directories with the same ACLs, why don't you go to the tree directory and change the ACLs there, and define it as spreading down.
Well, they don't say that you couldn't develop your own themes, only that you wouldn't get it with XP CD.
I don't think it matters anyway, if they don't release the format (or tools to create themes), it will be hacked.
Will I be able to download the entire deja archives as well as means to access it?
I wouldn't mind paying for a CD/DVD (how big is it, anyway?) of it.
One of the thing that really bugs me about search engines that they (undertandably) don't allow direct SQL queries against their data bases. Well, that and the ads.
To be able to refine my search as *I* wish it would be a great thing.
The problem is legacy.
We can read the rozeta(sp?) stone, because it was written down by means that we can understand.
You can read Shakspere(sp?) original plays and understand them, because they were written down.
Can you say the same for punched cards?
What about 100 years from now?
Shaksphere & the rozeta stone would be just as readable, how would those new books? Would I be able (assuming I live that long) to plug my current hard drive to a computer and read the data?
Would there be tools to interupt the data (after all, the data is just a streams of bytes)?
If you want to keep something durable, keep it off computers.
Print if on paper, rock or steel, and tuck it some place safe.
Me Linus.
Me Human (probably).
Me need food.
Me need to buy food.
Me need money to buy food.
Me work for Transmeta to get money.
Me work on Linux for no money.
Me have to choose, Transmeta or Linux.
Me need money for food, Transmeta pays, Linux doesn't.
Me kicks Linux out of the door.
Agreed, and it's not that hard to find things that work on NT & 9x either.
90% of MS products.
Getright.
WinAMP.
WinZip.
Aladdin Expander.
Should I carry on?
On general (very general, though), even thought NT & 9x are very different products, only a low level program would fail.
Just as a remark: The viedo drivers *must* be in the kernel (they are in *nix too, that is why X can crasha a box).
The Win32 API set is probably what you refer to, as needing the GUI.
There is another set of API, NT's native's APIs (All start with Nt) that doesn't need it.
Most of the Win32 talks to NT's native API.
NT DDK (Driver Development Kit) can produce native applications, it's a bit more work than writing normal application, and you'd better be working in MS to do it (About only 10% of the native APIs are documented)
But it's pretty cool to toy with it.
Anyone can tell me how good this program is? I can't download or even view the site.
Anyway, is there a Bryce like program that is free? Windows, Linux, BSD, I don't care about the OS.
But Bryce is definately the *best* 3D program that I've used.
And it's UI is about as good as it can be.
Not mess at *all*.
The gravity in the center of the station is always zero.
And increase all the way to the edges.
If you want more gravity, you let down a rope until you get to the gravity you need.
You could *choose* your gravity, by choosing how far from the center you are.
You don't need to re - rorate it.
It says before & after flights, but that doesn't really matters.
Assuming acceleration, you have gravity.
Assuming free fall, just spin your ship/station, to gerenrate gravity, the way to do this has been understood for decades if not centuries.
ASP.NET does excatly that, AFAIU.
Without any trouble for the web admin or designer.
Of course, there is the problem where it might gives IE 6 a good page, accomodate to IE 5.5 and lower, and send crap to everything else.
The worse thing would be, people might actually buy it, IE makes up for a *large* precentage of the browsers today.
A tip, if something like this happened to you in IE, don't hit back, hit refresh.
IE will ask you if you want to resubmit it (assuming POST) or just send it (assuming GET)
The text boxes disappaering that you describe seems to happen half the time, more or less, very annoying.

I think that there will be some product to make themes, but I don't think that it will ship with XP.
(Think 95 and Plus!, frex)
If you have a lot of directories with the same ACLs, why don't you go to the tree directory and change the ACLs there, and define it as spreading down.
The watchdogs that you refer to already exist in NTFS, (at least Win2K and up, not sure about NT4)
They are called reprase points.
Well, they don't say that you couldn't develop your own themes, only that you wouldn't get it with XP CD.
I don't think it matters anyway, if they don't release the format (or tools to create themes), it will be hacked.
That was the main reason that MS bought shares in Corel.
What would happen to it now?
Will I be able to download the entire deja archives as well as means to access it?

Actually, it does.
Not sure about 5.0, but 5.5 and upward does.

Linus' chain of thought at this case:

It was SP6, and it was Lotus' fault.
MS withdraw SP6, and released SP6a within days, IIRC.

Why next version? Next build, and it will propogate throughout the world within weeks if not days.

Amazon.com stills sells MS-Dos 6.22, I guess that this proves your point.
ASP.NET does excatly that, AFAIU.

Here is the link on how to do it.

IIRC, MS implentation of JVM was faster than Sun's own implentation, isn't it?
You forgot:
NS4 for linux.

In this case, all browsers work according to the spec.
