By the time Longhorn comes out I would imagine that it is a pretty normal requirment. 2 years from now is a long time in the PC world. Keep in mind that the average home users is close to (if not above) 3.0 HT procs today....
You guys are overlooking the biggest point here....
If the university takes the money, they are stating that they are for sale. Curriculum should be based on the market/industry/etc -- whatever that is -- Who's to say that someone won't come in and say "I will give you 10 million" if you only teach american history but skip the civil war. This isn't about resources, chairs or desks, this is about preparing students for a job and one (rich) man shouldn't be able to decide what students should or shouldn't learn.
Neil Stephenson -- Snow Crash
William Gibson -- Some say he coined the term "Cyberspace" ^----Neromancer, Mona Lisa Overdrive, and I think Count Zero is the 3rd in the series, but all the books stand on their own.
Philip K. Dick -- although he isn't that new, he is a great writer ^----Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep?"
It isn't really science fiction, but the Coocko's Egg is one of the great high-tech thrillers and it is all true.
If you rememeber, MS was trying to work with AIM and AIM kept changing the protocol and eventually MS stopped trying. On top of that, MS is trying to create an standard for IM and more specifically using DNS to located services (i.e. RVP like for Exchange IM) and speaking of Exchange IM, our company uses it for work purposes more than email. It is a life saver
Believe it or not, MS is coming out clean on this one.
MS has published APIs so that you could write your own IM client without ads using an language you want.
In fact, when they wrote their client it did work with AOL but AOL changed their APIs (as Trillian users know:).

Anything good about this program is attributed to Giant and anything bad is attributed to Microsoft.
Are you on crack? The Candian dollar is the higest it has been in a long time against the US dollar.

Who cares? I didn't know you were the self-proclaimed god on IM and effective work tools. Go impress some secretary....
