The article really doesn't do a great job of articulating what the Mindtouch Dream framework actually is.
FTA: Applications written with MindTouch Dream can be done in PHP or.Net languages such as C# or Visual Basic. Programs can run on Microsoft Windows machines or Novell's Mono software for running.Net applications on Linux or Unix.
I'm having a hard time understanding what MindTouch Dream actually provides. Is it a development environment framework? A IDE? It isn't clear to me how an application written in "MindTouch Dream" can also be PHP -or-.NET -or- C#.
Deki on the otherhand is clear to me, it is a port of MediaWiki http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki with extensions and provisions for managing Microsoft documents, AJAX support, and exposure as a Web service (REST based).
All in all, I'm a little confused as to the exact value this release brings, other than some better support for M$ based content environments.
For some reason, when I read news releases like these, I get all excited about the possibilities of a tremendous amount of bandwidth available to me in the home -- then realize the reality.
You are only going to get the bandwidth that you are being served.
With that said, if I'm downloading a huge ISO or other multimedia file from a site on my 2.5GB connection, and the remote site is sitting on a 256K upstream cable modem, then I'm going to get no more than 256K.
While YOU might have 2.5GB of downstream available to you, most providers these days serving upstream content don't have anything close to that availability.
And furthermore, I seriously doubt that many PCs today even have the ability to CONSUME 2.5GB of bandwidth. Are they making 10GB ethernet cards for the consumer market? Ummm... no.

Just think what Apple revenues would have looked like had they released the Mini-Mac before the back-to-school rush.
Jeeze, every kid would have wanted one for school, and every parent would have said "Jeeze.. only $499, ok!"
Sigh...
But hey, no complaints here, this might be my opportunity to dip my toe in the Apple Pool for only $499.

Wouldn't a more appropriate comparison be between WebSphere Portal v6.0 and Sharepoint?
What is the lab's favorite Linux distribution?
Furthermore, which distribution do they dislike the most?
It appears that the vagina had the last laugh.

Now you can see tower locations, frequencies in use, and even a sat picture of the tower all from one interface.

There are numerous surfer music songs on the Pulp Fiction soundtrack, therefore, "Queue" was the correct word. Try Again.
Bring out the GIMP. ...... the GIMP's sleeping.
Well I guess you'll just have to wake him up now, won't you!

I wonder if a facial screen would make the cut as a splash screen?
