Huh? SpeedStep goes down to 600MHz on Banias/Dothan (don't know about Dothan @ 533MHz FSB), 1200MHz on P4-Ms on a 400MHz bus, and 1600MHz on P4-Ms with a 533MHz bus.
All P4-Ms have it (but not all Mobile P4s - just the Pentium 4-Ms). P4 600 series chips have it. Non-numbered, 500, and 700 series chips don't have it.
The sandbox is called Microsoft Virtual PC 2004, with a copy of Windows 2000 Professional (it's still for sale).
And, yes, I know, that's $400 ($100 for VPC2K4, $300 for W2K Pro - but VPC2K4 trial CAN be cracked, and W2K Pro is ridiculously easy to find online for free).
Not in a release version. However, try 7.60P2, P3, P4 or 8.0B1. The default is for TABBED browsing, not MDI with a sub-taskbar (which, IMO, is better than tabbed browsing).
I've got a 2300DL, FWIW. The "weird language" is ZjScript.
BTW, the 2430DL, which claims Linux support, is actually a ZjScript printer. It's just Minolta wrote a binary-only, RedShat 8+, SuSE 8+ compatible driver for it. My guess is that it would work on a 2300DL, unless it's got code to check for it being used with a 2300DL, too.
On 95, if you've got IE 4 or higher WITH THE SHELL (I've seen an IE5 install w/o Active Desktop - weird, to say the least), then it's the same. 98, as long as it hasn't been 98lited (ditto for ME, which 98lite also works on), is the same way too.
EXPLORER.EXE (the Windows shell) on almost all IE4+ systems has all of IE running except for MSHTML.DLL (and in some situations, it's even got that).
That said, I also think the Konqueror on KDE cold start is REALLY suspect. I wouldn't be surprised if Konq was part of the KDE core.
No, the winner would be Lynx (except on one thing, where Links2, a fork of your browser of choice, won). You obviously didn't RTFA. They had a whole section dedicated to browsers that didn't meet the minimum feature set for the test.
Opera was first (and only) with MDI, but (IIRC) Crazy Browser (an IE shell) was first with tabs. Opera then took the tabs and used them as a taskbar of sorts for the MDI - the way MS should have done MDI. Opera 8 is now switching to Firefox-style tabs as default, though (you can still get MDI, FWIW).
Ah, it's DEFINITELY an AMD CPU. Seeing as the Elan is MUCH too old for most Linux stuff, it's almost certainly either an Alchemy (AMD 29000-based (IIRC) embedded RISC processor) or Geode (Cyrix MediaGX or AMD Athlon XP-based embedded x86 processor). Sure, the Alchemy CAN run Linux, but I don't see it being used here. The Geode NX (the AXP-based one) costs at least $45, IIRC. That leaves the other Geodes - the GX1 (VERY slow, 2-chips), the SC3200 (GX1-based, mobile, 1-chip, but something tells me it's not what's in this - for one thing, the GPU is a TFT controller), the SC2200 (GX1-based, thin-client, 1-chip), the SC1200/1201 (GX1-based, meant for TV applications, 1-chip), the SC1100 (1-chip version of the GX1), and the GX (formerly the GX2, 2-chips, fair bit faster than GX1).
My money's on a GX, but it could be a GX1, SC1100, or SC2200 (no point in the 1200/1201, and the display is most likely wrong on the SC3200).
FWIW, I forgot to mention my experiences with HP stuff.
My school has an LJ3 (I want to say it's a P, but I forget), and had an LJ4MP. I know we had to fight the LJ3 all of the time, but once it was running, it usually didn't stop working right until something was changed. As for the LJ4MP, it worked WELL for exactly 10 years (on two toner carts), and then the feed mechanism started chewing every page it touched out of nowhere. AFAIK, it got thrown out (I didn't know that LJ4s had easy to fix feed mechanisms). Had I known, I would have gotten it running again, and the H^HDell^WLexmark AIO inkjets (look at a Lexmark AIO, then a Dell, and tell me Lexmark didn't make the Dell AIOs) wouldn't have invaded that office.
I have a Minolta PagePro 1250W, and it works fairly well, except for two things:
The input tray is REALLY FLIMSY. This means that I'm not really using the tray. Because of this, input isn't exactly straight.
Also, SOMETIMES, after a job, you can smell the ozone REALLY badly.
I can't speak for the 1350W, though. I do know that toner prices are much higher than those for, oh, Brother, but the Brother lasers I've seen kinda scare me, and fake brand refills for Minolta toner carts are REALLY FSCKING CHEAP. Ditto for fake brand carts.
As for color, the 2300DL isn't that great from what I've seen. One died a couple days after we got it, and the other has firmware bugs (esp. in the DHCP part of the TCP/IP stack), and half of the time the XP Home box tries to print to it, the job doesn't go through, and the program that sent it crashes. I can't speak for the 2300W, the 2300DL via USB or Parallel, or the 2400W/2430DL.
IIRC, M meant Mac. Yes, the upshot of it was that the M models had PostScript, and that was the only difference, but (again, IIRC), they were the only ones that worked on Macs.
Well, they're going for $20 for the display, and it'll be a rear-projection screen.
I think that if they use ARM or maybe even Geode x86 CPUs, they can get it under $100. $20 display, $10-20 CPU, $10-20 RAM, $10-20 flash memory (or HDD), which leaves $20-50 for the case, keyboard, and mouse.
No, I think this is more like it (and that's the P4 model - the Xeon model is even bigger). I mean, bread can only take so much heat, and the heatsinks to get the rest away would be bigger than the toaster;-)
Yeah, but Win-OS2 was mostly the actual Windows 3.0, and then 3.1. It used PC-DOS (a fork of MS-DOS, IBM had full source), IIRC, and a compatibility layer that couldn't have been hard to write.

I don't know how far a P4 600 goes down, though.
No, not all P4s.

You said Latitude? Go grab a D/Dock, and throw a PCI graphics card in.
TFA is talking about Mini-PCI, FWIW. Mini-PCI is the same protocol as PCI, but a different form factor.
No, I didn't read it.
;-)
And, I see that VPC 2K4 SP1 doesn't fix it, either...
Well, I guess it's VMWare time
One word: Dillo.
Unfortunately, DilloWin is about dead...

Not MY idea, just what MS would want you to do.
Not in a release version. However, try 7.60P2, P3, P4 or 8.0B1. The default is for TABBED browsing, not MDI with a sub-taskbar (which, IMO, is better than tabbed browsing).
AppleWorks used tabs to render a "GUI" to make the user feel at home. However, it popped up a MENU to switch between multiple documents.
When did FAYT appear? Opera had FAYT in version 6.0 (2002, IIRC), and had it at the bottom (press .) in 7.20 (mid 2003, I want to say).
Heh... Samsung makes WINDOWS-BASED cell phones ;-)

Ah, and here's a link with a mockup of the actual HDL (AFAICT):

Rear-projection. Don't know if that means CRT, LCD, or maybe even DLP.
Well, they're going for $20 for the display, and it'll be a rear-projection screen.
I think that if they use ARM or maybe even Geode x86 CPUs, they can get it under $100. $20 display, $10-20 CPU, $10-20 RAM, $10-20 flash memory (or HDD), which leaves $20-50 for the case, keyboard, and mouse.
Well, I didn't say I wanted one ;-)
Tell me when Intel gets a dual-core P-M to the desktop, or even when AMD gets their dual-core A64 out, and then I'll listen.
No, I think this is more like it (and that's the P4 model - the Xeon model is even bigger). I mean, bread can only take so much heat, and the heatsinks to get the rest away would be bigger than the toaster ;-)
I do see dual-Xeons working on an i875, though, so I wouldn't be shocked at all if there's an LGA775 dual-core CPU.
Yeah, but Win-OS2 was mostly the actual Windows 3.0, and then 3.1. It used PC-DOS (a fork of MS-DOS, IBM had full source), IIRC, and a compatibility layer that couldn't have been hard to write.
