Remember that this thread is about a computer that has *1400* (!!) processors.
Nothing against windows (no, really) but it isn't even in the ballpark for consideration on this platform.
Is that using the per processor or per user licensing scheme?
Of course this is all moot since W2K DataCenter can only handle 32 processors. (what a hoss!!);-)
Even though car dealers are selling used cars, it still has an impact on the manufacturers.
According to the Wall Street Journal article, people returning leased cars (which are re-sold as used cars) severely depresses the vehicle prices and could result in the loss of billions of dollars for the auto industry. I have also read in other articles that the problem is compounded by rental car companies re-selling its older cars when they are replaced.
To make a point, it's established that resale (books or autos) has a negative impact on the sale of comparable new products. Amazon has every right to make a profit by leveraging the existing used book industry, but the Guild also has a right not to support Amazon's decision to pursue that market. Especially when there are other resellers they can support who are not selling used books.
