hell, can't they just sell their overstock windows 3.1 / 95 as windows for beginners, cuz those people dont even use their computer anyhow, and even if they do it's in some stupid way that they should be shot for.
The movie should immediately start playing on your TV. Sit back and enjoy the show! Remember that you can stop, pause, rewind or jump forward at any time using your remote control.
(and i know ms office has that install on first use option)
and yes it's poorly implemented right now, and not to the extent i was thinking.
their implementation is cd based only; and for install only; i was thinking move that idea to the online world, as well as for each use of a component it checks for an update.
this could reduce the base install to be very fast, as well as very small.
then everything should basically load from an online location for the first time (probably not the fastest right now, but with 30mbps fttp available soon, why the hell not:))
I see some people talking about linux isos being so huge, and patches and all;
so it brought me to think on something I saw at a.net conference...
the guy had an app check for an updated dll on a server each time it was used, so that it automatically patched itself...
so in taking this one step further, take an office suite for example: i never use most of the features (and i know ms office has that install on first use option) why not extend this idea to all software, but have it dl itself... this would rid users of the typical bloat for unused features while keeping downloads and updates very modular:D
think of it like a page table or something, you run word.exe... is it on the computer? no (miss) check the online location and download... now inside word user clicks insert word art.. is it on computer? no (miss) download from remote path and cache it
user clicks spell check.. spell check on computer? yes! check version with online version, is there update? no! keep using this one
that kinda thing. sounds fun! and complicated to impliment:|
but really a tech support departments dream since all you have to say for a user to patch is: connect to the internet

3 superior answers to those 3 mentioned in the article...
superiority can be argued, but not timelines--all three of these pre-date all the article's projects...
so NOTHING mentioned in the article should be considered innovative; simply developmental.

Scottsdale residents are actively broadcasting wild monkeysex. But want to arrest and sue anyone who actually looks at it.
reminds me of the arguement some people use about satellite signal "theft".
if they don't want me watching it, then why do they send the signal into my yard?
that arguement didn't work in court too well unfortunatly.
granted credibility of the driver doesn't seem to be the greatest...
but should the manufacturor really inspect their own vehicle?
if they found something that could cost them billions in lawsuits, then well, naturally they would say "oh there's nothing wrong--case closed!".
i would like to thank the police on revealing how much time is left before wardriving identity thieves will face any risk of getting caught.

my laptop came with a 3 year limited warrenty...

the laptop cost $2k canadian.
i was a little worried about theft and if i dropped it since those weren't covered.
so i got third party insurance from an insurance company that covers EVERYTHING for about $100 one time payment. (lasts about 2 years)
