MS has non voting shares of Apple. Every iMac sold is a computer that MS will never be able to sell MS mice, joysticks, non ported software, and OS upgrades for. I don't think MS has any role for Apple but for a partial shield against monopoly concerns. MS would like nothing better to have Apple 1x% market share disappear in a perfect world, but in this reality, they needthem around.
Don't blame Harvard? They just wantonly start destroying all the data related to this site, as it appears, without any legal consideration on their part? What the hell happened to Harvard?
Ignore him? If he keeps this up, every security site but for his will be closed. How will we ignore him then?
My current company is a MCSP, so buying MS software is not a big expense. If Linux appeared to offer a great usability difference, we would probably consider it. My company develops stuff for all kinds of platforms, but MS stuff is doing a fairly good job for us. Personally, I would like to spend more time with Linux, but it is such a bear to work with. I am now more interested in OpenBSD as it appears to have a more sane development structure.
NT 4 currently requires reboots that are not necessary. Certain TCP/IP config changes result in a pop up windows requesting a reboot, but you can cancel out of them, as the changes actually successfully occured.
My personal NT4 workstation crashed 4 times in the last year. Netscape > 4.x has been a habitual offender. I like it more than IE even though it is so unstable.
1. No more domains. 2. pure tcp/ip 3. "consumer" feature support, like USB, PnP, etc
Why this is good:
1. Administration should be a lot easier for massive corporations, or anyone whose network structures dictated a multi domain model. 2. I have found the MS stuff based on TCP/IP (their DNS, DHCP services) to work well, while those based on a hybrid of TCP/IP and NetBEUI to be a mess (WINS). All this crappy stuff can disappear in a pure Win2k environment. Although there may well be fixes for existing 9x and 4.0 OSs to make them more pure TCP/IP friendly. 3. I like toys. More hardware support for more toys. 3b. I want more people to run Win2k instead of 9x.
The "good" thing is that I recall reading somewhere how AMD got up to making 5 million CPUS a month, but was only getting 3.2 million out the door or some such. Dont quote me on the numbers, but the point remains: with the K6 family, selling them is now the issue.
Matt will still probably build a dual celeron box.
The unwritten consitution manifests itself through the winds blowing through Parliament. Simple majority parliamentarian actions carry the weight of constitutional law in the UK. Therefore, rights are easily adbridged. That is why is it was so easy for handguns to be banned.

However, in the years following, new registrants are more likely to register GOP than Democrat.

College students can get NT4WKSTN for free with the purcahse of the MS J++ java environment. Not a bad 50 bucks.

1. WIn98 is better than 95, the problem is that is it still miles behind NT's stability, which still needs work.
2. Win2k will probably be out this year. If not, first quarter the year after. 2001 is a ridiculous claim.

3 quick reasons why win2k should be better:
1. No more domains.
2. pure tcp/ip
3. "consumer" feature support, like USB, PnP, etc
