How is this any different than all the usability problems and lack of features in Linux being perpetually "on the way". I my case I am using SP2 currently and I find it to be much more stable than my Mandrake and Fedora installs. And yes, I did say more stable, faster too. I have also never (read never) had a virus on any of my windows boxes. As a desktop I think Linux sucks, it is not better at anything accept maybe hype. The only people that Like Linux either hate MS or think it is a fun hobby. I use Linux for educational reasons and as a hobby but the idea of replacing windows with it for a desktop is a pipe dream. I get sick of reading about all the misinformation about Linux simply because the person writing it has some political agenda against Microsoft. Linux has strong points (server) yes, but lets not make it out to be more than it is just becasue you don't like Microsoft.
If Windows is a "struggle" than Linux is hardly a recommended action. SP2 will address the remote security of windows and email virii are more a user problem than a technical one. Sandboxing the user only makes for a painful user experience or having to constantly su to root. Neither OS has a sandboxed mail client when that is really the only usable solution to the problem.
lol, the one guy that RTFA is modded as 1. I actually think it is a slashdot rule that if the article is about MS than you are to:
A) Skip the article
B) Asume worst case scenario
C) Complain about when ever it is you pretended they are doing.
Just look at the article that mentioned Security Center in XP SP2. All it does is tell you if an anti virus utility is installed and enabled. People took it as MS writing its own AV utility and cried monopoly. Nobody intervened to point out that the summary and all 500 people who replied and didn't RTFA and were just flat out wrong. Slashdot always puts a negative spin on everything MS and in some cases just flat out lies about what is going on.
WHERE does it say they are intigrating an anti virus system in windows? The "security center" tells you if an AV progie is installed and enabled. SHOW ME where Microsoft is using it's own AV program. I saw the post too, try to RTFA. Slashdot is blind hate.
Where does it say they are including an anti virus papp in SP2, I am using SP2 and I sure don't see it. The security center will tell you if a THIRD PARTY AV progie is installed and warn if it is not enabled.
This answers the question I was about to ask, so I am posting it instead.
Consumers can register online or via phone now. In September 2003, telemarketers, sellers and their service providers will have access to the registry. They will be required to scrub their call lists against the National Do Not Call Registry at least once every three months.
On October 1, 2003, the FTC and the States will start to enforce the National Do Not Call Registry provisions of the Amended Telemarketing Sales Rule. Violators are subject to a fine of up to $11,000 per violation. All covered sellers and telemarketers must access the National Do Not Call Registry in September 2003 if they plan to make covered calls after October 1, 2003.
I was reading that comment saying to myself how impressed I was on the lack of any groundless claims until I got to "does this mean that Intel will be dumping Itanium"
He (cribb) was doing so well up until that point, HP has sold millions of Itaniums and will continue to. I doubt Windows XP64 Home Edition is going to change that.
Intel will have 64 bit extensions on the Xeon and the target market for the processor will still be roughly the same. There is definitely a market for a 64 bit Xeon. That chip will play a large role in Linux gaining ground on more expensive UNIX solutions.
There is a client called pocomail that I use that is pretty safe. It has an intuitive spam filter, you can script it to do about anything with mail, and it has a simple filter setup for sending messages from X to folder Y.
You get the point. You can toggle things like loading external graphics etc. It is really a mail client for power users. Shareware, but one of the few programs I ever purchased.
I have an ATI Pro 9600 and I never seem to have trouble playing every game I own at the highest resolutiion with all the settings up. That system is pretty new so by the time I upgrade it I will probably be upgrading to a 64 bit platform anyway.

The fact that prescott has 122 million transistors, requires so much power, and runs an average 30 degrees (F) hotter than Northwood means they won't be using that technology on the mobile front for a while (it will improve). Intels M is a much different animal than the prescott, but the celeron is usually based on the desktop line of processors and is used in many low end lap tops. The current Prescott core is just not an option for the celeron right now. It does not let AMD take over this market by a long shot, but it does put them in a slightly better position.
That is why everyone is trying to put such a positive thing on how things are going. Quoting users stating how bad they hate it would be kind of a political hot potato.
But instead of paying $23.7 million for the Microsoft solution, Munich's city council opted to spend roughly $35.7 million to switch to open source
Linux breaks drivers with every version release. 9x and NT are more than just a version change, they are a different operating system. 9x was a monolithic kernel, NT/2K/XP are on a microkernel.
I did upgrade one machine from 9x to 2k and I remember that I used some of the same drivers. I regularly install some of the same packages on NT/98/2k/XP without a hitch.
Backwards compatibility on Linux is pretty much non-existant, requiring some packages to be built for just about every version of every distro.
Anyway that argues that this is somehow not the case is simply living in a distorted reality. And anything they say is to be taken with a grain of salt.

I don'tunderstand what you are saying here, if there was a plastic layer on the panel the dust would be on it, not the panel.

Maybe if they chose GPL we could have as many JVM's as we do Linux distros.

Why, you need someone to keep reminding you why you bother with it?
"NORTON AV IS INSTLLED BUT NOT ENABLED: WARNING"
MS may release API's to be used by third party vendors but nowhere does it say they are writing thier own AV progie. Slashdot is wrong.

Yes, like speech.

No, it is a LOTR thing.
The good news is that they don't hide well. They proudly identify themselves as MCSE's.
Maybe we could use electro magnetic radiation to kill cancer cells? :)
What if 3 years from now you claim rights to it?
