Exchange defrags itself online, but deleted items become white space. The only way to remove that white space is by an offline defrag. But if you have your act together from the start (planning, esp. mailbox limits), tons of whitespace shouldn't be an issue.
Your statement was true until about 12 months ago.
MS is going to enterprise style per CPU licenses with its xxxxx 2000 products. Exchange 2k will be pushed heavily at ISPs and especially ASPs. MS will expect companies to scale highly, with x,000's of users per box.
1. Its naturally read only, so Hollywood would push it with a vengeance.
2. After DVD, consumers won't want a linear recording format. For example, the T2 dvd with three branches of the film, original, director;s, and with deleted scenes. These features have proven to carry a price premium, at little cost for creation for studios.
3. Backwards compatibility. Whatever HDVD discs will look like in 2004ish, a HDVD player will play CDs, DVDs, and Audio DVDs.
I once felt the same way, but it turns out its a good policy. What turned me around? Building a pretty profound OpenBSD box with 4 files totally 45 mb. Just because tons of geeks have DSL and cable doesn't mean that the OpenBSD project gets multiple T3's. People downloading ISO's when they don't need all that stuff would be a huge strain on the project's resources.
Should it work the same way for liability? If your tottering grandmother runs over a millionaire, should she be fined 500,000 to make restitution for the victim's family, so they can maintain their standard of living?
In embedded devices, I'd bet. Does that matter? If OSX is BSD based, but Joe Average mac user barely knows about it, does that matter? What can Apple's involvement do to help proliferation of BSD? Apple isn't known for SMP, server market, scalability, etc, and on the desktop side, all the eye candy is being kept proprietary. So, other than a talking point, I can't see Apple aiding the BSD cause all that much.
Yes, streaming media services may be nice, but I am looking for something that could really cause heightened BSD deployments.
FWIW, nmap'ing a Win2k professional box results is a vastly superior tcp/ip stack results. Used to be in the one to two digits, now for sequence prediction I got a 9499 (worthy challenge).
All things Multimedia. HDTV will offer much higher resolution than DVD, at 1080i, the highest spec, I saw claims 6 months ago that the then highest end x86 chips could not do software decoding. Also, look at mp3 ripping and digital camera usage. These are all things that Joe Consumer are interested in. Given the incredible advances in digital camera technology, a multimegapixel camera that stores hundreds of imgaes may need significant cpu horsepower to convert to jpg or png, or just edit.
DVDs have been around for about 3 years now, and yet DVD decoding chips aren't standardized on motherboards. We can expect the same for HDTV. Software decoding is going to remain pretty popular, as DVD + big mhz/ghz sells in CompUSA whereas selling 400mhz + decoder card = educating consumers = good luck.
A lot of people have cited contracts, but has anyone ever heard of repurcussions from breaking them? Compucom hires bright college kids, send them to Dallas for MCSE, and a bunch of other certs from a pool (Compaq,HP, Intel). They are supposed to stay for two years, but I knew two that jumped ship about 1 to 1.5 yrs in, without repurcussions. How legally binding are they? This was in MA, so state right to work laws might play a role.
Notes does not have the high intergration with PDAs and RIMs. 3rd party software is an added cost to a Notes shop. The Notes rev of the BlackBerry integration software only came out a few months ago. Last time I used a Palm, it had Outlook integration in the standard software, out of the box. I don't think the same could be said for Notes.
Notes has huge strengths and weaknesses, namely, it is only worth it if you are going to commit to doing everything there way, as otherwise the bulky client (which I have seen used in all the Notes shops I have been in) isn't worth it.
1. Is anyone using OpenLDAP in a production environment? References please.
2. Consistent look and feel/ Rich content. Netscape probably isn't the answer.
3. Group Scheduling. iPlanet does it. When I sync my BlackBerry pager, will iPlanet include items so my pager alerts me 15 minutes before a meeting?
4. Reliability. E2k will do 2 way active-active clusters with Win2k Advanced Server, and 4 way with datacenter. E2k native supports up to 4 storage groups, each of which can support 4 private (mailbox) stores.
5. Your email into a database complaint. Last check, we had 10.2 gig summed mailboxes, yet 8.7 gig database due to single instance store. Functionally, I have not seen or heard of any fundamental issues with enormous exchange databases, but for the restore time should something happen. There does not seem to be any fundamental issues with sizes of databases.
6. Productivity with Outlook. Palms, RIMS, etc integrate seemlessly. Where is the loss?
Look, I am a MCSE, I run OpenBSD on my firewall, FreeBSD on my laptop. But you are talking ROI, and yet you seem to propose a mish mash of OpenLPAP, iPlanet, and Netscape Mail or Outlook Express. Who is buying into that? I am not a MS zealot, but I have yet to see something that does everything that Exchange and Outlook do. And that includes third party support (like RIMS, etc). Even if OpenMail cures cancer, what PDA's seemlessly sync with it?
No one, no where, who is an Exchange professional recommends using PST's (the off server email store). If you search google for the exchange faq, you will find in it "PST=BAD". it is a known issue that pst> 100mb can lead to corruption for which there is little recourse.
Exchange's single instance store works really well, and is a compelling argument to maintain all data on the server. Last time I had my exchange admin cook off it for me, the private store (mailboxes) was 8.7 gig, and yet a comma delimited file of all users' mailboxes indicated total summed mailbox size was 10.2 gig. If you are serious about exchange, be serious about keeping all data on the server, as PST do not scale, and have never been touted as such. In a production environment, all they can offer is a method from which a restore server can dump a mailbox to in order to move into a production mailbox.
Counting idle time does not work, given load, and the possibility for the idle thread to represent the total across multiple cpu's.

Yo,
How about us poor Win2k users? The Radeon drivers are about 50% slower than the 98 ones. ATI isn't getting my money until they get their act together
ostiguy
Of course, the reason nVidia isn't an option is because of their closed source binary drivers for Xfree86. I am just another MCSE who runs OpenBSD for a router/firewall.
If you want to use your car/finesse metaphor, the relatively new tile based texturing methods in cards like the Radeon may be representative. Tile based texture, when done properly, allows card manufacturors to not need truly ridiculous amounts of memory bandwidth. It will probably give us headway until some new memory tech comes along, because even DDR has its limits.

It probably is Airport, which is all still Lucent gear, from what I have read.
In the screen shots, there were only three directories in the root of C:, thefore you could use:
cd d*

You can do this now in NT 4.
