Microsoft has always offered an option for people to store their credit card information on Passport, but only 14 percent of Passport users did, because they didn't feel the system was secure enough, Litan said.
"People will start trusting the system now that it's linked to credit cards and has protection by Visa and MasterCard," Litan said.
I don't understand, is Litan saying that because Microsoft struck a business deal with Visa and Mastercard people all of a sudden feel safe? I don't think I agree with Litan on this one.
I worked at a very large web devolpment company (our client roster was all fortune 500s).
I worked in the Quality Assurance dept. And we tested any peice of html that we gave to the client on many many versions of i.e. and netscape on both the PC and mac... it's amazing how many things break on websites.
But it is very comon practice to make sure that your website is going to look good and work for 95-99% of it's viewers.
Also, let's not go bashing microsoft too quick on this one... Netscape started the trend... who can forget the BLINK tag?
damn dawg... don't playa hate...
And anyway... as for your comments about.net server, here is what microsofts website has to say about the whole thing on their webpage Microsoft Servers and.NETThe Microsoft.NET Enterprise Servers, Windows 2000 Server family, and the upcoming Windows.NET Server family, with their built-in security, their support for XML and their ability to quickly scale-out to meet increased demands, provide the best solution to host and deploy XML Web services.
Doesn't sound to me like MS plans on putting the axe to 2k quite yet... The bottom line is that there will be demand for 2k, and that MS will allow downgrading liscense... I wouldn't even be surprised if MS didn't cut OEMs for 2k in 9 months...
Another article from the register that bashes MS, it's somethign their good at... "pressuring the PC companies to stop offering dual install Win2k/WinXP systems immediately." I'd like to know what pressuring means... I'd love the article to quote a source... but maybe that would be called real reporting, and not just old fashioned muck raking.
And on top of all that, how can you take an article seriously that is written by some guy who has a name so simular to Lettuce.
Wouldn't it be nice if a reporter at the register actually gave some details on their articles that made it clear what they were talking about???
I wonder how much money companies like compaq save with this type of setup, do you think stoping the pre-installed dual boot sytems would really mean these companies will no longer find it cost effective to ship 2k?
This has very little to do with the death of w2k. This only effects pre-installed dual-boot systems. I don't know how many people out there really need/want a dual-boot 2k-xp system. 2k is still by far the superior 'service running' machine... and it's not going anywhere anytime soon...
I'd like to see the product rip radio as well... Doesn't seem like any techknolgical difficulties... Legal boundaries?
Why you ask... Have you ever been listing to the radio and you hear a song that you like, but you have no idea who it's by or what the song title is... and then you try to find out from a friend who might be a little more musicly inclined, and you are forced to stoop yourself to try to sing a line or so from the song while all your friends laugh at you... Well it would be cool if you could just record a clip of it and play it for your friends...
How about contest phone numbers, I have a hard time remembering those... it would be cool to just record it and play it back.
Or how about you are just a cheap lazy bastard and you want to listen to the top 40 over and over again without buying any CDs or going through the pain of downloading them.
Yup, this is just another cover up... The real reason they were there was to install new stealth phone tapping equipment to track those no-good-do'ers that go to Vegas every year for DefCon... but then they found they had been bested and the 2600 crew had already been there when they found that grafitti picture of Kevin Mitnick (you know, the one they showed in the article)... So then they needed a cover up reason for why they were there, so the interviewed a few bums (being that they aren't real people and all) and wrote about the "underground" culture in LV.
Did anyone notice that the map version date is 3/25/02? It's a little bit old, plus I still want to know where the African Prince that is coming to america and needs my back account number so he can launder money into the US and in the process make me thousands is sending mail from.
As adverstising revenue dollars are quickly declining many sites have had to close shop because it is no long fesible to rely on advertising to supplement the cost of having a good website with staff and services that people bother to visit.
Now that the internet free for all is slowing down, what do you see happening in the next 15 years as far as google's business model and the internet in general? Will big business be the only real players? Will google be the TV Guide Channel of the internet? Will google be able to survive on only advertising revenue, or will it need to supplement it's revenue with selling technlogy (the google lan appliance comes to mind) or will it *gasp* need to charge users?
Version of office 2000, and 2002 (XP? whatever) have much much better integration... I am a database developer... and we use office 2k for automating mailings to clients... our SQL clients database and office2k2 work seemlessly... we have a totally automated mailing center that would be ugly and slow with 97... so maybe that's one good reason... plus that paperclip guy doesn't come up as often in 2k2... which is priceless.

It's about memory managment and security... 10 years ago very few people were linking databases to webservers.... now I would say that 50% of all database use is internet (or intranet) related. ADO calls are much better then ODBC connections for internet related applications... and ADO.NET is a good way of making this tech portable.
are you kidding me... my hotmail acct gets over 100 a day... At least I know for every week I keep that e-mail address some lucky guys doesn't get spam for a whole year... But then again he isn't going to get his college degree from a non-acredited college or meet girls that just turned 18 and decided to put a webcam in their shower... and let's not forget the 1000s I'm gonna make when this african prince moves all his money into US banks.
Ummm I think I pointed that out in my reply which was posted before you wrote that... Check out my comment as I broke down what they are using... and I'm so glad that you looked at the "home page" of the site and not a single auth or serving page. but hey, flamers will be flamers.
Good suggestion.. and I did... and it's main site is running windows 2000 with IIS... amazingly. But then the auth and various other elements are a mix of FreeBSD and Win2k running both Boa/0.93.17.3 and Apache/1.2.6 and Microsoft-IIS/5.0 and even some unknown OS with an unknown webserver....
Side note... (which is different the offtopic) When MS first took over hotmail, they were using apache servers... I wonder what they are using today... I'm sure it's not IIS.

What type of file system do you use, and how large (in bytes), is the index, it must be quite large with the cached pages and image search.
