And to expect an OS written in 1988 to work on new hardware 6 years later, and also to expect the company that wrote that operating system to support it on the ever increasing multitude of possible configurations is, IMHO, unreasonable.
The article states MS is still shipping win98. It's not too much to ask that a company supports a product they still supply.
Typical Microsoft calling their product something generic that should apply to any SQL server. Almost like calling a product.. Windows.
It was originally called Sybase SQL Server but was later picked up by MS who adapted the name. Typical/. objectivity.
So you're saying it's typical MS thievery, stealing another products' name?
(It's a joke. Laugh.)
But seriously, judging by the title I was hoping they found gamers aged 60+ who might have to worry about joint problems and waning eye sight in their future.
My mom still played red alert and rayman when she was 61, no joint-problems there. Her reflexes weren't as fast as those of younger players, but if you adjust the gamespeed accordingly, that's not a problem.
My dad played Duke Nukem a lot in his 60s, but never managed the endboss. He'd call my mother to finish that one of for him.
Some conspiracy theorists claim that Microsoft sells its Hotmail account details to spammers.
1st: I'm a very non-MS minded person, being a UNIX-sysadmin for over 12 years. However. I heard those same rumors and decided to see if they were true. I created a Hotmail/Passport-account, unchecked all "Send me stuff I'll only throw away" boxes, and did NOT give the email-address to anyone. The recipient-name is a concatenation of 2 dutch dictionary-words, so should be guessable. In over a year I have yet to receive my first spam on that address.
Strange but true...
There is a good reason why Europe and other countries now just laugh in Americans' faces when they hear "Defender of the Free World" or "Protector of Human Rights". And the judical system is part of that problem.
Also, the US dropped to the 31st place of the list of coutries with the most freedom of the press. The US occupying forces in Iraq are somewhere in the 140s, even below the Iraqi-press itself (124). France is on postions 27 or so. The US, land of the free, as long as you are not the press. I have a link to a dutch newspaper (shared first place, together with Finland and Iceland) reporting this, haven't found any englishlanguage sites yet. Guess they aren't allowed.
In paragraph 75, it admits it "licenses and distributes" UnixWare, "OpenServer", "SCO Manager," and "Reliant HA", but "denies infringement".
Didn't Siemens (now Fujitsu-Siemens) acquire or market Reliant?
Whilst on Siemens: According to this, SCO and Siemens are quite happily working together, while according to this headline, Siemens thinks SCO blows out of their arse.
Anyone has more info?

Just adding noise to the discussion.
