Um, to run Photoshop on a quad-proc Windows box, you need a Windows 2000 or 2003 *Server* license, which starts at $700 (quite a premium over XP Pro)... there goes a good bit of any discount one might assume is in the PC equation...
This is interesting, especially with all the IT outsourcing to India that we have seen lately. Could mean for yet cheaper outsourcing costs here in the US- if people start using Red Hat at home, maybe they will want to use it at work.
maybe that's where the cost savings is coming from for companies moving tech support to India. Customer service/tech support is SOOO horrid these days I guess some PHB decided customers would be no worse off if tech support reps ran Linux instead of Windows while answer calls. Even while answering Windows questions...
...but as an improved Win development environment, it *is* step forward. Our key in-house app is being written as a standard two-tier app, but using the.Net frameworks and our developer (a former VS 6 guy) is *really* happy with the new APIs...
So it's not the total lost that it may seem.
It's more just a total loss in the MS hype department:-)
...from someone *besides* Apple, OpenBSD is the bank they should look at!
Aside from maybe the esoteric trusted OSes (i.e. Trusted Solaris), is there really another "mainstream" OS people can just rely on for security?
Hell, Bill G oughtta just start waving $$$ in front of Theo and company until they all say "OK, that will do" and join MS to show them Redmond boys the Right Way (TM) to lock down an OS*!!!
* of course the Office team would no doubt open right back up any holes the new security-conscious OS team closed down...
What isn't addressed is the reason for the "defection".

the people playing gangsta rap at insane volumes are NOT using the radio to do it. CDs and/or mp3s.
Plus, they're not the ones who annoy me...
It's those commies and their NPR...

*NOW* we have options, but until iTMS, we DIDN'T.
Thanks, Apple, for that at least.
Yeah, but when it's done, you'll be able to read it REALLY FAST! ;-)
The name of his site WinInformant is probably a mistake...
What he MEANT was WinAPOLOGIST...

Are you gonna listen to the same 20 songs for 12 hours?
I'd rather *understand* a concept so *I* can go and write the *right* code myself.

How does Limewire accomplish that (legal downloading)?

When you compare entire albums, that makes me think you're looking at this the wrong way...
This is more of a 21st century version of the old 45 single...
And I'd hardly call Theo's opposition to war in Iraq "[throwing] dung" at the DOD. He's got lots of company, especially in Canada.
But you've just made their point: if so, why isn't CANADA funding them instead of a USA organization?
When MacOS X for Intel/AMD architectures?
