Seriously.
He was just a scientist among many others.
What a bunch of baloney. He was the forefather of modern physics, and a groundbreaking one as well. This ranks him up alongside with Newton.
He was *not* just a scientist among many others, and every single piece of modern physics is based upon the foundation he made.
Pleas think before you post.
I finally replaced XP at work with Kubuntu. The one thing holding me back was actually none other than iTunes - yeah sure I could use amarok, but I have purchased a lot of music on iTMS plus I like iTunes' radio channels and iTunes in general. And by the way, I also have a lot of historic Outlook mail.
I installed VMWare on my Dell laptop, created a 30GB partition (of which 20GB is MP3/M4P), installed the Dell XP Pro OEM version in VMWare, which automatically picked up the system's XP key, and I got iTunes running in VMWare, Office 2003 for historical mail and the odd Word/Powerpoint/Excel documents which OpenOffice 2 has difficulties handling.
I guess the ironic part here is that I had to install an antivirus program on a laptop running Linux, but now that Evolution gets along just fine with the company's Exchange 2003 server (even the calendar entries shows up - I am impressed at how good it actually is!), I am in general a much happier human being running Linux, and I have the best of both worlds (depending on your point of view) being able to run iTunes and Office 2003 on my Linux laptop!
I read about the new iTunes version yesterday, and the first thing I did when I got to work today was download it.
However is it just me or is iTunes 7 a worse memory hog than the previous versions? While iTunes 6 maxed out on around 40MB memory usage on an average day (mostly listening to streaming radio channels), just know after 3 hours, iTunes 7 used 169MB - and that was when being idle.
Or hey, maybe it's just getting Vista read?;-)
Which will, thanks to Vista's speech recognition http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fV1kqthZf2g, be read out like "...they can store or install also a copy of the product on a storage opportunity like a net the host for the product to be used to install that or only in functioning on you to state from other computers of the job regarding an internal net; however you received an additional permission for each computer, which was separated from the sour job, must and confirmed, or its product, which is installed had used entrance or at the shown looppas. A permission for the product can be divided or used not at the same time on the other computers of the job."
I believe the reason is because Microsoft is uncertain as to where to go next as a company. There's a limit to how many new Office and OS versions (slated for release by any decade now, for sure!) they can churn out and make people and corporations buy them and still get a decent revenue from it.
That's why what we see now, is a Microsoft who tries to enter every segment of about any tech market where a company has a successfull product and compete with them (so far, YouTube being an honorable exception); it's as if the company's current vision and strategy simply is: "don't innovate, immitate".
Their stronghold in the IT world is decreasing day by day as the underlying OS is becoming less important (re: online services), companies which they screwed in the past is openly fighting them, they struggle on the bugs/virus fronts as well as releasing products on time which are not crippled versions of the original product; simply the previous OS with some new slick bells and whistles attached to it, strategic alliances are formed against them.
Some day, the bully will get what he had coming.
But more to the point: Steve Ballmer is uncertain as to where to take the company next (may I suggest the chair industry?), so they are just watching the industry, sees what catches on and tries to use their bulldozing machinery to enter those market segments, squash the competition and get the monopoly they are used to for pure revenue.
No, there's the third. After conquering the desktop, (almost) the server room, the media/music industry and mobile phones, Microsoft are now turning their gaze towards space. Due to an unfortunate array of events, Beagle 2 now lays on the surface on Mars with a IRQ_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL bsod.
Three days ago I checked our 2003 server and noticed that the Windows Update icon was visible in the Start Menu area.
I clicked the icon and saw that W-update had downloaded a patch for Internet Explorer.
I installed it and immediately upon installation, Windows 2003 server warned me that it had to shutdown and reboot for changes to take effect.
Gee wiz, the company's flagship server needs a reboot for a browser patch.
And these are the same people who make surveys for Linux users to find out how to improve their software?
Here's a tip, Microsoft. Stop turning Sun's slogan "The network is the computer" into "The browser is the computer".

Geesh.. Now even our living room view will be proprietary. What next?
