Ok, so symantec is going after MS for an anti-trust suit? um...WTF? MS used to be notorious for security flaws. They clean up their act, try to pull together a new OS, and try to include decent security.
I'm sorry Symantec, but i don't think they're trying to pull the wool over anyone's eyes and get away with a monopoly. I'd say they are trying to get their act together and get past their notoriety for sucking at security.
Why pay for Norton when it can't find viruses that i need it to find? I'm sorry but i'd rather use bundled MS software, if that fails i'll look for a free alternative, i'm not gonna spend $45 or whatever Norton costs these days to get a half a$$ed virus scan. I made that mistake two years ago, i don't feel like paying them more money for more half baked protection. I'll try what MS has to offer. I think the've made some improvements.
"The question is whether the young upstarts who have built a hugely profitable business on Google's anti-corporate image are on the way to following Gates's path from bright young turk to monopolistic behemoth."
well i don't know any bright young turks who wouldn't mind becoming monopolistic behemoths.

The MS bashing is quite disturbing. Well i know that/. is pretty much a open-source favoring crowd, but MS Visual Studio 2005 is a nice improvement upon the previous edition. The gripes most had about the old version have been fixed, and there are quite a few great improvements, including my favorite improved intellisense!:-)
While i may have made myself flamebait, i think that if you are honestly interested in VS, you wont be disappointed by the new improvements they've made to Visual Studio.
Here is a list of people who have the name of William Gates in the state of New York.

Someone tell the Microsoft lawyers!
Hi, i'm Bill Gates.
i just got a mini powersupply for christmas because my old powersupply and fans were too noisy? Hmm, too many late night programming sessions i'm assuming?
I looked at my recently received cash, and then to my course schedule for next semester. Thank you state and national debt, i will now be spending all of my Christmas money on college tuition.
If you are considering the mini, have you considered using a mini-ITX board? I'm currently using one in my computer which i have built into a modded Game Boy Advance gaming case. It's quite small, in fact, it's sitting on my bookshelf in my bedroom.
Just an idea.

Horray for me, and a broke new year.
