BONO: "My feeling," he adds, "is that it is cool for people to share our music -- as long as no one is making money from the process. We tell people who come to our concerts that they can tape the shows if they want. I think it is cool that people are so passionate about our music"
THE EDGE: The terror of online song-trading and bootlegging that has occurred in the wake of Napster is not something the members of U2 are losing any sleep over. "In fact, as long as fans aren't being exploited and bootleggers aren't raking in huge money from the practice, it's a part of the music business they've come to accept."
What a moron. Of course they didn't have a COM object, because COM was developed by, who else MS. MS didn't want to go along with the CORBA movement, so they created their own version called COM, and declared it the standard. And like MS has never done that before, calling their product the standard, and ignoring all of the non-MS initiatives to make common, open statndards...
The comapny I am consulting at just upgraded recently from 95 and NT to 2000.
Most companies I have worked for like to wait to upgrade so the major bugs and security holes get worked out, which reduces the risk substantially for them. If word got out about a security breach and that confidential customer information was exposed, it would kill their business.
With Microsoft's new licensing, puts the squeeze on these companies to upgrade and to accept risks that could be detrimental to their business. The alternatives are switching to *nux based systems, or be prepared to part with a large chunk of change when they upgrade. And chances are they will switch to Linux, which is great for the Linux community.
