Audit review of Company X
It has come to the attention of our experts that you are currently running many copies of Microsoft software on your systems. Whilst Microsoft have been a favoured software vendor over the last decade, there is the potential for legal headaches in the future. They have been suspected of patenting software methods and techniques which have already been identified as prior art. This will cause much legal uncertainty. We also have identified that you are using Microsoft Office. This gives us a concern regarding "Future interoperability concerns". It has been identified that some software written to take advantage of Microsofts COM technology in creating interoperability with Microsoft Office is not compatible with later versions of Office. This is a situation which will likely not be resolved in the near future. No doubt you will have to upgrade to a newer version when it arrives. Microsoft will also be releasing 64bit windows shortly. It has come to our attention that there could be compatibility issues with using this new operating system, but unfortunately, it is the only operating system that will run your previously mentioned upgraded software. This leads to the possibility that other software components that you use will have to be upgraded. Come 2006, Microsoft will be releasing Longhorn, another operating system. But you will have to pay us again to come and audit your systems nearer the time. Because we'll need to change the title of this document, the date at the top and give you a printout of it again.

It was IMPOSSIBLE to complete thief 2 WITHOUT a patch. The toolbox to open up the grandfather clock didn't exist in the hall until it was patched. It's at this point in the game I gave up as I only had a 56K modem then and the patch was 30+M.
Please piggy back firefox development and bundle with windows. This will give you:
1. An extended development team
2. Web standards
3. Greater security
4. Cross platform market penetration
Unless of course you want to make a non-standards based browser, tied into a particular OS for some reason, but I can't see why you'd want to do that...you wanting to benefit the consumer and all...
Our college is looking to move over to using thin clients and I was wondering if you had any testing results on how many terminals you can connect to a certain spec server. We were going to use suse but if this system is leaner/better then I'm sold:)
Actually I found putty to be a bit flaky when conencting to certain versions of openSSH servers. However the cygwin port of openssh has always seemed to worked like a dream.
Well, that was true in 1995. If you have benchmarks for linux vs win2000, I'd be interested to see them.
Benchmarking early linux with POVRay

POV-Ray 3.6 Released

· Score: 1, Interesting
I remember when I was at uni in the 90's and I wanted to benchmark this new 32bit linux thing, I used POV ray as it gave out handy timings at the end of a render. I used the same scene on both win 95 and linux. Linux was 3 times faster on the same machine.

Glad you could join us Darl!
As much as I would love to use linux for music, the folks at creamw@re wont allow anyone to write drivers for my pulsar 2 card :(
Andi Kleen. What a great name for a tissue product!
NVIDIA's site has a pretty good installation guide. It's on the driver download page.
You must be new here....
...so does that count against his argument?
You know, I read that as "Windows' latest incarceration"...
What specifications are the servers?
For those who were part of the Atari ST demo scene, you may find these links quite nostalgic :)

PS: It wouldn't cost you anything to do either!

Now they can meet both! :)
Maybe this is the answer for cross platform php-gui?

They use meat?!?!
And remember, never argue with an idiot, because they'll drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience!
For the dude who modded me a troll here's a definition of sarcasm.
HAHAHA!! I use linux!!! IE SuXX0rs!!!!!
...I feel like I'm becoming a criminal without even trying.
OK - i meant that it's illegal to "just do it". Out of interest, how much is the duty? It doesn't state on that document.
