The problem is they likely cannot trust anything on the systems the guy broke into. They may have to go through the entire system and every system connected to it to make sure it is clean.
We still don't know what chips they are going to use yet. Apple might very well decide they want to run on some cut-down desktop version of the Itanium2 so they make sure people are definately not installing their stuff on commodity hardware while touting their "advanced technology".
Internet failure is always just around the corner. As more and more users hook up with even faster connections than before, if the backbones don't keep up (like my ISP isn't right now...) then the entire internet could slow to a crawl and stall out under the weight of the spam and automated virus break-in attempts from zombie machines with 6 megabit cable connections running 24/7 infecting more and more PCs. =)
Their revenue is apparently higher (or was last year), but their profit appears to be only just over 1/4 of Microsoft's.
Last year, Microsoft made $2.9 billion in their first quarter from their $9.2 billion in revenue.
Last year, Dell made $731 million in their first quarter from their $11.4 billion in revenue.
I don't think Dell's profit margins (18% in the first quarter of 2004) are nearly good enough to out-profit Microsoft.
Every other day, a judge reinterprets some obscure law and effectively makes a new law from his bench. There is no way to know the law or the latest new interpretation.
One problem: There's at least one browser gaining marketshare while IE's market share is slipping. Microsoft would point this out in any court case. They are trying to hammer out a decent upgrade with IE7 afterall. IE7 will probably be more of an upgrade than anything that's come out of the IE dev team since the move from IE3 to IE4. This is all thanks to competition (Firefox).
As far as you know, if the cards were based on Linux technology, the original lunatic err poster would let GWB sodomize him with one the cards. The poster is anti-MS. I don't even recall him mentioning rights or freedoms...
Does OpenOffice have something like the MS knowledge base? That thing seems to have an answer to every problem with MS software EVER. The fact that they need a knowledge base that freaking large might be disconcerting at first, but you will be glad it's there! har....
MS anti-spyware attempts to stop spyware from taking root on the system. It will regularlly inform me the user whenever a program so much as changes settings or sets something to start at boot.
Unfortunately for Yahoo, in a civil case all she has to do is show that Yahoo was at least partially responsible for her damage by hosting the photos and profiles. It's kind of hard to argue that people showing up at her work place soliciting sex isn't damaging. There doesn't necessarily need to be a law on the books for a civil case to work. If a jury finds that Yahoo was *probably* responsible for further damage by ignoring her requests to remove HER personal information contained in fraudulent profiles, they could give her even more than $3 million. They are prone to do that when they get a chance to punish the wealthy since juries aren't exactly filled with rich people that have any pity for the rich being separated from their wealth.
The core of the case is about refusing to remove fraudelent profiles that were intended to cause her harm, not about Yahoo hosting them in the first place.
When Yahoo drags their feet to remove someone's nude photos and fraudulent profiles with contact information tied to those photos, they SHOULD be sued into the ground.
I never realized that MS needed an OS written in.NET. I thought Windows shipping with the.NET Framework would suffice. I don't think the migration to.NET is happening for the reason you think it is. Running on the CLR with a managed language is a lot safer than running native binaries in vanilla C/C++.
First world were the US and its allies during the cold war, second were the communists and third world was everyone else. That's all there is to the numbering system.
It sounds like they were giving up business when they were running wifi on the weekends. The low-lives were coming in with their gear and taking up space and not buying a damn thing. When you're turning away paying customers because the place is full of sponges due to the wifi, the wifi goes off. "Their second Sunday without Wi-Fi was one of their best revenue days in some time." sums it up nicely.
Especially while a lot of the non-zealot reviewers are getting a major hardon over the idea. If Netscape had polished it some more and given some options for the AOL AIM stuff they crammed in it, it might've actually gotten better reviews than Firefox has been getting.

except they probably have to dismantle the entire system because it can no longer be trusted...

Well, emulate isn't correct for the kind of hosting they intend and virtualize IS a real word afterall, so why not?

So they can continue making money off the people that want a MacOS X GUI on their MS Office.

This has gone off without on a hitch with the half dozen installations of Windows XP Home/Pro that I've done. or are you talking about pirating it?
And yet there probably isn't a piece of complex software in existance that hasn't needed a patch to fix a problem...
Unfortunately it's not XML's fault that complex documents turn into *gasp* complex XML...
Even if reactivation does reer its ugly head while you're on the road, a call to MS can fix it and you get a month to do it anyway IIRC.
BS, the point of IE7 is supposed to be security. Anything else is just supposed to be an added bonus.

I haven't heard a lot about .NET itself being insecure. Microsoft's non-.NET stuff has proven to be insecure, but I really haven't heard much of .NET.

I seem to remember an update in XP SP2 along with nearly monthly patches.
