ARM is not x86, I know that. The issue here is more about the emulation. Nothing says ARM can't be emulated on X86, except microsoft currently. Save the ad hominem.
uh what? I didn't read anything saying it was x86 incompatible, merely "can't run windows right now". This is more a licensing issue - MS will have to make a case as to why they don't want to support ARM, and as the AC says will affect that.
Can't say I saw coming that ARM might be an Intel/AMD competitor, but depending on how things shape up that could be the case in a solid fashion.
I can't cite direct examples because I don't even know which bank you work for, but if you understand how banking TLS requirements go, it's kind of like that.
I still don't see why the parent should have to pay for this HRM though, that part makes no sense. I pretty much would refuse to pay if I had that shit happen when I had a kid in school.
There are issues here as far as rights to privacy that will come up again, too. This is why solutions with GPS aren't being found, only ones involving RFID (much more like an IPass)...at least this is my thinking.
Meanwhile, I seem to also hear arguments about how we pay the tax on gas already, so wouldn't this kind of require a drop of that?
Also, to what benefit are we doing this taxing of mileage? I like this idea of pushing people towards mass transportation/public transportion if it's actually well implemented, which in some places it is not and some it is.
I thought the purpose of taxes nowadays is to have money to funnel into something beneficial. What exactly is it that we're doing that with for this?
eh, I don't deal with banks in that sense, I deal with IT consulting and I have seen the idiots too as you mentioned in your other reply. However, lots of people don't want win 7 as plenty of companies were planning migrations away from Windows that are coming to fruition now. It's not really linked to Win7, just happens to be around the same time frame.
oh and just a fyi, I actually work with enterprise as well, and that and consumers are what matter the most. Neither of those wants windows 7, and plenty have outright banned it. I can cite every bank in the US (every major banking corporation) as an easy example of that.
You think they plan on running lotus symphony on windows? Har har.
Well, you want more info? How about the fact that Windows 7 hasn't been promoted at the corporate level nor at Microsoft meetings (which I have been to, where in years past Vista and XP received much praise and direct discussion)? As far as sales, it's easy to predict with preorders as well. If corporations aren't willing to pre-order, that says a lot. There is more inertia to this change than you may magically come up with. Very, very few corporations and gov are willing to use windows 7, government specifically on that. It's very shortsighted to use windows, and lots of government IT requirements that require things that can work past a 5 year window as windows 7 is so eloquently breaking. They are migrating to open source for many projects. do you need me to cite or do you think win7 is the bees knees?
Groundbreakers? How about the XP mode issues, the things it won't run? I've only said this like 50 times - it's a bigger issue than people think. Not to mention many things that have trouble in Win7 won't run even in compatibility mode (games again).
software changes have 0 to do with the fact that they should still support it as it is still active. To say that a TCP/IP stack is not something in the latest software is beyond asinine.
The stopping of support, and why does it matter you ask? Maybe because netbooks come with XP?
it has nothing to do with contributing or not. Nobody can say they aren't contributing. However, slowing things down (in terms of development releases) to break compatibility, they are indeed doing. I don't really get your point.
wrong analogy, you are focusing on the wrong issue. Real analogy: Do you still expect adobe to patch the latest versions of their software as long as they are in business? yes. What if they had a DLL that was affected in *all* versions. Do you expect them to patch it with the latest version? Hell yes you do. This is not a car warranty, so that argument is completely null. Things that are on XP cannot necessarily magically be "upgraded" like you think, additionally why should someone even feel remotely obligated to spend money on a new version of something that works just fine?
Car analogy: does the manufacturer shutdown their car after 10 years if you can keep it running?
Why should MS exclude one?
maybe you should think about the argument you are making, because it is off.
Sales of Win7 are down so low MS isn't even promoting it in most places. There are lots of groundbreaking problems that people will not touch with a 20 foot pole. It is an overall improvement yes, but why would I pay for DRM and a version of Vista that should have been there from the start?
MS needs to relearn basic salesmanship: underpromise and overdeliver. They have been doing the opposite and wonder why people hate them.
It's no magic that Mono is always a version behind.net or more. It's just that lots of people are not realizing this yet, or the same with silverlight. It's stupid because if it was complete compatible then people would actually have more interest in windows, too.
there are virtualizations with graphics, and this is not, meaning it will be cpu intensive (as opposed to offloading into the gpu) and less efficient. There are *lots* of things other than just games that need graphics capability.
I agree with what you're saying, I figure there are definitely cultural aspects of "what are people afraid of", although I can understand the general premise of this whole experiment.
I mean how often does one in an urban city encounter snakes? Not often. Rats? Depends on the city/living conditions.
I'm sure paris hilton sees way less rats in the mirror than most people see when looking at her, etc, and encounters them around the house less commonly than people of poorer parts of society./subtle
It's emulation only, it has a limited specific subset, and it has no graphics capability. It's a limited virtualization basically, that notmany computers can run, especially the people upgrading from old systems.
Basically, you're not going to be able to run what you can run in xp. That is not necessarily a bad thing in all ways, but you know.
This idea is so old you have no idea. This is just one of the few times the press has covered it. Literally the concept of harnessing the streisand effect goes back around 50+ years, just in different forms.
Things that are "banned" or go against old-folks values, are another. good ole basic reverse psychology.
You didn't think those bollywood threats about products being illegal were because they actually were, right?
Open handset alliance has members of basically every phone provider, so don't think that a singular google phone will, nor will have to, take over the iphone. They'll simply have one to fit every person's preference, unlike the iphone.
It sounds like a single DisplayPort can't support that much if I am reading right. From the 8GB/s ish of max bandwidth it seems that is like 2560x1600 range-ish.
I agree this 103" stuff is not as high-res as it could be, but think of the viewing distance and it certainly can fit a purpose such as those giant sports game monitors (which are certainly not 1080p or even 1080i right now).
Slashdot Mirror
don't folks in the UK have a whole "you own government things that are purchased with taxpayer monies", exception being crown copyright?
So couldn't members of the public just ask for this compression key equivalent?

20? Last I saw most of these are $50 or more, but $20 would be in in the realm of reasonable.
How about "both groups have some absolutely horrible, asinine, corrupt and stupid people who also happen to be drafting laws in congress"?
privacy yadda yadda.

There are issues with security and governmental banking regulations that will not allow windows 7.

So you're saying you're a MS partner/salesperson? wow, I'll pass on arguing with someone whose position defines bias.

No, it's not.

Basically, you're not going to be able to run what you can run in xp. That is not necessarily a bad thing in all ways, but you know.
clean install is going to scare a lot of the old softies. Just wait for the uproar when "xp compatibility mode" doesn't run half of their crap, too.
Oh well, at least MS is doing to vista what they should have done what, 5 years ago?
