What MS should do, if they want a Standing Ovation from Teh Community(TM):
o Open-source the Win2kPro OS code, and license it for VM use.
--Think about it.
--They could do something similar for preserving obsolete data formats.
o Convert the existing data to UTF8 -> binary.
o Find a rock sheet (thin enough to be fairly light, but not thin enough to break easily.)
o Permanently etch the binary into the rock sheet with a frickin' laser beam. (Wielded by a shark of course.)
o Store the rock in a cool, dry place. Preferably out of sight, and armored against the inevitable barbarian/Zombie hordes.
o ???
o Profit!
--You heard it here 1st.
--Obviously you have never tried using Win2kPro in a VM. It rocks.
