I wonder how much of this is a shortage of lasers vs. sonys desire to keep HD-DVD products off the shelf util they can get a price matching (or as near as they can get) competing products to market. Maybe I need a tin foil hat but I've seen similar tactics used in the businesses I've worked for.
Not to defend M$, but they can use multiple SBS servers and host the services properly and redundantly with the tools/software provided (with more lic. / servers of course). Thats no different than a Sun/Solaris shop running everything on one box.
I would sign up for a subscription to the safari bookshelf service from o'reilly being able to search such a large library can be very valuable for things you have little experience with. I come from the dev. side so I dont know of many sys admin specific "classroom" type stuff, but I have always got alot out of SD Expo and the many break out session esp. the birds of a feather after hours "tech chat over beers" meetings (It hasnt been as good since y2k but still valuable).
Visio has always met my needs, you can "wow" the bus. types with the right stencil sets. Researching and identifying the catagories and dependancies will be the hard part regardless of the tool used. If you have additional people (preferrably experts with the various systems) I would define your key catagories, systems, packages etc. and assign the work of detialing the breakout tasks to each subject matter expert. Once you have this set of tasks completed bring everyone together to map the dependancies and watch all of the dumbfounded shock and amazement as people realize all of the redundant work etc. that has been performed over the years. This should help to get buy in with your peers, as well as group motivation to keep it updated going forward.
They can filter them now, I had TWRR and recieved the lowest tier of channels "free" on a cable ready TV (they didnt require TV service). I signed up for a free trial of digital cable w/HD when they first started pushing it. I cancelled it thinking I could just go back to the limited "free" lineup because the HD offerings sucked. After they disconnected the digital cable my free basic channels were gone and I noticed a new set of splitter/filers on the line after they left.
He may think the blue-ray drive is the natural evolution but what if it turns out to be the next beta-max. I was at best buy yesterday looking at the demos of HD-DVD and blue ray in between pitches for warrenties and 8 free magazines, and I can tell you I wasnt impressed. Not by the display qualites OR the warrenties, subscriptions or Dirk the sales guy (what a f'in moron he was). I might have purchased a PS3 if it came with DVD but at the price with the BR drive I'll gladly wait it out. If it does become the next betamax Sony will have shot themselves in the foot.

You wont live to see your precious little PS3 after that post mister!@
I have been waiting to upgrade for quite a while, my old A64 3200 is getting long in the tooth. I was almost biting on the A64 X2 but I just couldnt pry my frozen wallet open at the prices they were charging, then all of the conroe speculation started coming out. After all the C2D news thats came out today I am ready to buy the E6600 as soon as they are available (assuming the posted pricing holds). As for the articles statement that M$ Vista is keeping everyone from upgrading... what kind of crack is this guy smoking. Im sure there are people who will upgrade thier PC's when it is released but I dont know anybody who sees it as a driving force. The people I know have been hedging thier bets waiting to see how the Intel/AMD next gen played out and it seems most are along the same mindset as myself, the new Core 2's are it. Now its just figuring if you want to wait abit longer for the NVidia chipset or some other related tech. Even my "hardcore" AMD groupie friends are giving up on the "buy the x2 after the price drop" and going with the E6600 or E6700, I dont know anyone yet that is going to drop the coin for the extreme.
This does look like a nice desktop solution but I do not see any mass migrations to SLED in the enterprise. With the existing installed base of windows & apps in the companies I consult for, it will take alot more than this to replace the windows based systems. It is realtively easy to get some backend server moved over with proper justification but most dont want to disrupt the installed base of users with the change and associated complications, beside windows does not cost $300 dollars in the enterprise. Corporate licences are very reasonable and may even be cheaper in the ong run.
I know personally I will never buy another Sony product, it seems as if this company has completely lost touch with reality. Its like they have a corporate mentality that they are a government and we live by thier rules vs. our dollars determine thier fate. At least the White House/neo con republican movement trys to put a positive spin on bad policy for the people, Sony is just clueless. Next they are just going to put out one sentence press releases:
PS3, suck it down bitches!! Viao, suck it down bitches!!! Rootkit, suck it down and bend over bitches!!!
brb, phone call...
HEY!!, I'm the new VP of Sony Public Relations!!! (suck it down bitches)
How does this map show the "the vally" is the center of the OSS world? It is a limited cross section of projects that the creator is interested in, his opinion / perspective is worthless and invalid.
Of course then you'll also have to be be willing to pay Verizon, AT&T, SBC etc/ thier Net Nuetered Tax via the streaming service, and of course the NSA Data Backup tax plus the state and county online purchase tax and... *HEAD EXPLODES*tears network cable out of the wall
I would support it, not to injure the Mexicans from getting thier slave wages, but to prevent the true terrorists from crossing our most vulnerable entry point. I'm amazed they havent done it yet, or they may already have and we just dont know they are here.
whoopie, M$ loses and donates another $1,000,000.00 worth of software to some high school system or third world country as retribution (at a cost of about 35 cents to the evil empire).
about enough potholes to covers the surface of Jupiter six times and enough roadwork delays to equal 13 years of your life waitng in congested traffic to get to work:/
no worries mate, you have a complete backup of your data (even phone calls) in the basement of the AT&T san francisco office. I hear they even have a redundant copy down south somewhere.

You see, thats your problem. You dont understand AOL, the monkeys may eat the cherry but they _fling_ crap, its the user base stoopid.
Well..., if the big google fat cats can address congress in jeans and a t-shirt your lucky you didnt get a hairy man ass and a g-string Mister
I was think of mass migration as a large percentage of the fortune 500 companies migrating to linux desktops, not number of desktops.
This does look like a nice desktop solution but I do not see any mass migrations to SLED in the enterprise.

sweet, you write all of the "deposit" stuff and I'll write all the "transfer to secret offshore account" stuff. THAT would be interesting indeed.
