Identity Managment was a major component of the deal and Novell has ported their proven eDirectory and XML based products onto the Suse platform to provide this in a package that integrates with existing Novell and Microsoft environments. This is leverage that Red Hat doesn't have.

No,
The same thing that got Morgan Stanley in trouble, failing to supply emails under court order, also happened at the White House during the Clinton Administration. Not to mention the disappearance of materials from Vince Foster's office and their 'magical' reappearance much later.
The Clinton's were already past masters of corruption and coverups from their days running the most corrupt little state in the union.
Read James Stewart's "Bloodsport" sometime. He was chosen by the Clinton's to write a favorable book on them, but he found so much dirt he couldn't go through with it. They stopped cooperating, but he put the book out anyway.
I was pleasantly surprised with MCE2005 also. The PC was a good deal and the program guide is free.
The free media guide is sometimes wrong about channels and content, but it's usually correct.
I wonder if it would be more correct if it wasn't a free service? I also wonder if Microsoft will start charging a bundle for it sometime in the future if it succeeds in killing off all fee-based program guide services and the appliances and applications that use them.

"if Bill had finished college and gone to work for another company as we're suggesting, he might well have gone to work for Apple. And while that would probably have been better for all of us, it wouldn't have been better for him."
I doubt it would have been better for us either. If Gates had never created Microsoft, and never cloned the PC's underpinnings away from IBM, we would probably never have seen the day of ubiquitous, commodity PCs. Not to mention all the hardware and software innovation and job creation that has led to.
Things that start out in an attempt to identify with the reader almost never work out at all with me. Like in this case, the second sentence begins, "You have some money in the bank"...

Novell is saving a fortune in MS fees while demonstrating that "their own dog food" is palatable. This serves as a very good reason for others to follow their example.
Companies inside the IT industry will have to show it can be done first. When a large player who depends on data exchange for their existance can make it work, that provides an example for others to follow.

What happens is that heavy users demand all possible speed. The chip and motherboard makers compete for that market and build faster pcs.
Then it soon becomes more efficient to mass market them than to keep a bunch of old-tech slow PC's in the product stream.
So grandma ends up with 3.2 GHZ P4 when she buys a new PC because it's an entry-level machine, even though it's capable of doing all the processing she will ever do on it in about fifteen minutes.
I have a bunch of original digital video of car and truck events, etc. I was thinking of putting a bunch of it on the web, but I don't want to get a bunch of my friends stripped of their internet access for downloading it.

It depends on whether a lot of dangerous criminals follow Slashdot. Would they even have time for that since they may not be drawing a salary to sit at a desk with a free broadband connection?

The HK-91 that I remember was a 7.62 Nato semi-auto rifle, I almost bought one, but they were kind of big and expensive.
I don't know about the civilian, semi-auto version of the MP5, but I think they would have called it something else.

From the article:
