  1. Re:It is a good sign on Microsoft and Red Hat Team Up On Virtualization · · Score: 1

    You'll see this a lot more as companies try to save money - in a support environment, why buy multiple servers to mimic your customers? Create VMs and mimic your customer constraints in software. If they fork, create a new VM. Buying memory to run VM's is cheap compared to purchasing and supporting multiple hardware formats(and scales nicely as its not parallel processing)

    Its coming -its like the early days of dialup when you paid £15 month for 56K and were happy. Then came ISDN, ADSL and fibre and now £15 month can get you 8MB+ (if close to the right exchange). 3G in mertro areas, EDGE is being deployed, followed by HSDPA - as the rates increase the telco's will look for the differentiator and the prices will fall.

    You know you can use the agent switcher extension (assuming you're using FFox), set to googlebot to avoid all the registration stuff.

    Googlebot/1.0 (googlebot@googlebot.com http://googlebot.com/)

    Not strictly true, as I've returned CD's with the reason "Its Crap" and have been given a refund.

    Again, with software you cant see the license until to attempt to install the software. If you dont agree with the EULA you cant install, so you are quite within your rights to return for this reason.

    All depends how much you are willing to brazen it out and escalate if till monkey doesnt agree
