OE might be in the IE boat tho, meaning no release until the next release of Windows, as suggested on Beta News. So there will be an opportunity, but not a gaping hole as the next release of Windows will forcefully spread the next version of OE again.

Either Microsoft will keep cutting prices [...] with the resulting reduced margins and hopefully dropping profitability
Thats short term. They might not be earning their full potential, but they aren't bleeding. And in return for that mild payment, they buy the lucrative lockin of a relatively virgin market. This is no loss on their part, this is investing into cultivating a stable market.
or people will see through them and they'll lose customers.
If they can resist the increasingly cheap instant gratification.
What Microsoft doesn't seem to understand is that cutting prices to the bone only really works when you are fighting against a small group of smaller companies that you can bleed dry by consistently undercutting.
We have something that can be as easily bled dry as money... talent. If more untapped markets cave into Microsoft like Thailand, there goes more potential talent that could help us reach the threshold for really scaring the bejeezus out of them.
I was actually thinking about this today after my boss got nailed by SoBig.F and started sending out all sorts of spoofed email. After digging through previous slashdot stories, I think the first step to make things a hell of a lot saner can be found here.
SMTP+SPF is an idea long overdue in production. The owner of a domain should have the right to dictate which IPs are allowed to send mail its name, and blacklisting becomes a lot more meaningful with that right IMHO. If servers maintained & endorsed by a domain are spam havens, just do away with the domain. No more banning entire subnets with all sorts of collateral damage on lots of different parties. And given the substantial control that can be exerted over a mail server, I believe there is a far slimmer chance a responsible domain would get blacklisted on the account of a few bad apples.
Granted, spammers will still be moving targets, and domain registrars will have their pockets lined by them, but I rather sully a jibberish domain than useful & easily transferred IP addresses.
Old? According to the current stable list of tests, those in your parent are the proper values. Maybe you happen to be running a release candidate of SA, but I prefer to leave my mail in the hands of the latest stable release (2.55 at the time of this posting).
You want to mix-and-match on Linux/*BSD because some apps gain nothing and lose out on increased memory usage from going 64-bit (think memory references and decreased code density), hurting both bus and cache utilization as well.
I just built and booted it on my Sun Ultra 60. CONFIG_PREEMPT seems broken on SPARC64, but after I removed a redefined symbol in ffb_drv.c, everything else seems to work.
One interesting note is that the sun/type5 keymap/keyboard settings for the console/XF86Config don't work anymore. Had to revert to the kernel keymap for the console, and xfree86/pc101 for X11. Also had to change/dev/sunmouse::BusMouse to/dev/psaux::PS/2 in XF86Config, but the middle mouse button doesn't work now. Gonna figure out that later when I get a chance.
But what if you happen to be a user of one of the architectures that is being terminated for the Itanium? Where are you going to go? Intel & family are probably more than happy to help you move over. If they manage to create enough of a customer base, and maintain their performance margins, its only a matter of time for Sun.
Do you really expect Sun to produce cpu tech that puts Intel to shame?
This means that even though the clock speed of the Duron is 4.5x faster, the execution speed is only 3.0 times faster. This means that the Alpha 1.5x faster than the duron -- or about 50%.
I wouldn't go about expecting linear increases in computing performance with increases in clock speed. The margin is a lot smaller in reality.

I don't care about Mosix on BSD/OS. I want the FreeBSD core team to take a whack at porting it:) It should be that hard, and even if it is, its a pretty cool feature to have to make it worth working on:)
IIRC, MOSIX was first written for BSD/I. Any word about that version being released to the public? I'd like MOSIX between my Linux and FreeBSD boxes if possible:)
Can we all stop whining? There are only a small number of types of whines, and if you see it once, please don't post the same stuff again. If you want to add more, post to the original whine. I'm sick of shorting through all this shit. I miss the days when people would put up their questions and stories about their experiences with a new version.

It can't help you with picking a wireless lan or getting you the encryption key, and dhcp already provides a valid IP and routing/dns information...

We win regardless.
I'm not so sure about that.

Will Brazil truly pull a Munich, or are they just playing the game Thailand thinks it won with Microsoft.

Heh, one thing to consider about that Sun piece is that similarly clocked Itanium 2s clobber UltraSparc IIIs by a factor of about 2 on SPEC int/fp.
And servers sporting Itaniums should have all the bandwidth/features/etc the Sun apologists love pointing out that IA32 machines lack.
Sun can't be too happy about that. They can only hope enough customers have critical programs they lost the source to =P
Clock speed:
750/166 = 4.5 (duron/alpha)
Approx execution speed:
3.0 (duron/alpha)
Now lets compare the two ratios:
4.5 / 3.0 = 1.5
This means that even though the clock speed of the Duron is 4.5x faster, the execution speed is only 3.0 times faster. This means that the Alpha 1.5x faster than the duron -- or about 50%.
I wouldn't go about expecting linear increases in computing performance with increases in clock speed. The margin is a lot smaller in reality.

Well, Solaris wasn't tested on its home court. I'd like to see the crew versus a SPARC based server of equivalent horsepower.
