If you have ever worked with Microsoft or had to compete against them you would know also..... Microsoft does not inspire to see companies grow. Unless you do exactly what they want. If you change slightly off their idea for what YOU should be doing they (microsoft) will most likly become displeased and do what ever they can to make sure their goal will become a reality.
yep, there are limitations..... but the memory sticks could possibly be best suited for students. This can replace the floppy for them as for the few who own or work on computers that cannot support these as easily.. other solutions exist to cover them:( or:)
To be honest i do not know.... i would hope they have tested these devices in real world.. i mean they make these things to go on key chains!!!! that is some brutal environments....
but my guess is that a headphone magnets are NOT going to harm these things.. in fact.. i will test it right now with my own device... if it fails.. good.. then i will have lost nothing... buahah..
for fun i put it up to my sub, and all speakers in my apt... . now to read the stick.. and wow.. i still have the data on it.. how cool.. an unoffical test. but it passed..:)
The real floppy replacement device is going to be the usb memory stick. Every computer now has a usb port. These things can hold up to 256 mb. There might be larger now.. but these are small... and you can even put them on your keychain.
this media ( optical, dvd, cd, tape) is going to exist for backup purposes.. but if you need data to exist for 10+ years.. i hope the drives to read the data will still work, or exist in 10+ years... So far dvd, and cd will be a good choice for 10+ year reading...
the usb memory sticks are probably not for long term data storage. but for moving data between computers they are piiiiiimp!!
And for you ftp or any other protocol guys who use that to transfer files... there are times when you will not have an internet connection nor a local network to transfer files....

I don't understand, you are basically pridicting that RedHat is going to fail as a company.
Sounds to me like you are just an average stock trader and not a true investor.
