Great, but the full monty is 264 MB. How many people are going to download *that*???
Whatever happened to differential patches a la
the PocketSoft thing??
Worse still, all developers who *fix* their apps
for SP2 - will we end up being BROKEN for PRE sp2
systems??? or told that SP2 fixes X (the KB said
SP1 did) and *still* finding the same bug hiding
in a different form??
If Microsoft are *serious* about disseminating SP2
to a wide audience maybe they should start begging
for space on magazine CD's *yesterday*...
(With all that money they ought to be able to
afford big lunches for magazine editors:-)).
In any case picture the scene, you have 150 lusers
on a complex LAN, and you have to roll out this
thing. TCO what TCO? Shylock asks for less...
What Bill Grates is most terrified of is that
having access to quality open source code will make even more people aware of precisely how
crap Microsoft is! The more people who gain in
awareness of the Snake Oil he's pushing, the
harder and more ludicrously silly his marketting
people will have to work.
If he *DIDN'T* scream and flail about we'd know
he wasn't hurting right?
So, let's sit back and enjoy this one.
Er. But does anyone actually have to prove anything? Hey given SCO vs. the world, perhaps
someone with deep pockets ought to challenge
Mutleysoft with lawyers .
