The desktop environment in Win32 is what's being refered to as a shell. Basically, LiteStep is a desktop environment. It replaces the silly little taskbar, the silly little desktop icons, and the silly little start button. It doesn't manage windows (small w). It manages tasks and the desktop. (Go read the revlevant link).. this is for those of you who were comparing it to bash. It's not a CLI. =)
The last time I saw napster spidered (the entire array of servers.. it has 12, you randomly connect to one and only access the mp3s on that server), it had 1.1 million mp3s on it, and ~6000 users (this was about 3 hours ago). Now, there's no doubt most of those 1.1 million are dupes. What I really want to know is.. 100k/song, or 100k/instance of song? 100k*1.1 million.. well, heh, ow.
Actually, it did "work out". Just not for the reasons you're implying. It "worked out" because Sony was.. well.. less than forthcoming with Beta's specs. It was a closed system. VHS was developed by the entire industry, and very open. Open but bad beat Closed but good. (I had a Beta, I was rather sad when tapes abruptly stopped being made for it. Same goes for Laserdisc.)
Is Harvard not publically funded at all? Do they not fall under any kind of Education Department? They're not a totally private institution, AFAIK. If they're funded by the Fed, consider them the Fed.
