The biggest problem is that when they all jumped on the IE band-wagon there wasn't a lot of competition around. Netscape had wandered off and got lost. Opera was foreign, weird and cost money. I can't think of other big browsers at the time.
What he said. It also comes down to which is more important to the bosses: using the work provided tools to do work or slacking off on random web sites? The people who don't think the Internet has serious work uses are still floating around at the upper levels and it's a real easy value cost comparison for them. It's also easier to fire IT than to fire management.
It's not MS with the kickbacks. They're trying to kill IE6 as well, even if just to sell upgrades from XP. The real culprits are Oracle and all of the other vendors selling their HR/Financial systems that are 'web based' but need specific browsers and other setups. Ours allows IE7 (finally) and now allows a standard JRE instead of jInitiator. We still can't have the Google toolbar. (Thanks Flash installer, for that game of whack-a-mole.)
Forget the names, I want the versioning file system. Of course, combine that with bloated Word docs and users pressing save every thirty seconds and you might have a problem.
Doom isn't surprising. We used to run Duke Nukem 3D on NT 3.51 or 4. The only problem was the sound card drivers. If you disabled sound, you didn't have a problem. Now, how did it go SET BLASTER=A....
There's no stumbling about it. The ironic headline: 'effectively' banned makes me laugh. It'll just be another Postal or Manhunter. Anyone who wants it will get it and more will want it now. It'll be even easier than removing the permanent parental lock on Duke Nukem 3D.
Windows NT is basically a GUI on top of VMS and has a Posix sub-system, so they should all be the same speed as each other. This is the first time I've seen a Mac fan try to hitch OS X to Linux. Don't get your Mac dirty.
One version is that they're moving actual Windows (NT line) to ARM. That way they can have a single code base. It makes as much sense as a lot of other MS decisions. My point remains, Nokia hasn't been talking about Windows Phone *7*.

You get Vista. :)

I welcome competition in the market to view my pay-slips and write purchase orders. I'm not sure my bosses do.

Yeah, but you'll have to deal with dselect for the earlier versions. I was really happy when they brought in apt-get.
And, um, how well can you check the free space on the drives? Last time I checked, it was interesting.

You do know that Win2k-Vista is NT? The different versions of NT include everything up to NT 6.1 (Windows 7.)
Yeah, I had someone ask how to install apps on IOS, so I handed them a console cable.

It's also on every Wii and they're definitely not for children.
Damaged sectors indeed. Also a dropped packet or two.

Would that be the vacuum cleaners? We used to have the ad on the wall: "It's a VAX, it really sucks."
Yes, for Ford Pills. I'm sure they give Ford Motor Company the shits big time.
Just like in SCO v IBM.
Woosh

Three on the 17'' models, only two on the smaller models.
Yeah, but this is an actual cost, not a made-up one. They really don't like those.

Was the next unquoted line "but we have these nice iPhones over here. Would you like to look at one?"
Why? Did Nokia say Windows Phone or Windows Phone 7? There's speculation that they'll be waiting for WP8 and that uses a different code base.
I'm sure that's what will get most use of this controller. I foresee the 'adult' game producers lining up to do something with this.
