I'd think all those customer data of such a bank would be valued worth a lot more than the building itself to someone who can sell to those customers, particularly for a competitor!.
Speaking of Netware, we have one Compaq box running Netware 3.1x and accounting software+db serving to about 20 staff, the box been running about 9 years without a single shutdown! We have never touched it until recently we had power maintenance in the building and had to shut systems down over the weekend.
The box is up again, but unfortunately we're going to replace it soon as we migrate to new integrated ERP with accounting system on Win08+MSSQL server.
Actually, I believe Win7 will be released on time.
Lets look XP, it was released soon after W2K which was delayed many times.
I'd say same thing happening here, Vista is mostly a new code, and Win7 will be based on Vista, MS will polish Vista further and fix those glitches and annoyances, and viola...

... because I can.
Linux is nice but I recommend keeping it far away from any bank account. It's a black hole for money...
I guess that the guys over at NYSE are bunch of idiots trusting RHEL with zillions of $$ of transactions every day? perhaps some of your money too?
agreed with all you have said, plus, I think there is also lesser distinction between content vs non-content elements of UI and is confusing to user.
Well said. I would mod you +10 if I could.
M$ time is up. main man is leaving.
its time for other youngsters, such as Google, Facebook to name a couple.
M$ should buy Apple and embrace Mac. ~ world will be a better place.
I dont see why this "clearly insightful" parent modded 'funny'
Nothing new here..

Get an AppEngine account..
How many of that initial percentage will do the same as me I wonder?
probably 0.7% ?
forgive me â" this may sound stupid question, but why is this function (ntfs-3g) not installed by default with distros?
Yes but, From usability perspective Linux is improving faster than the competition, Windows and Mac.
I remember seeing the Gnome for the 1st time about
10 years ago.. and take a look at Ubuntu > Gnome now!
During the past 10 years, Linux GUI, drivers and as a whole had improved in great deal.
From usability perspective competition did not changed all that much during past 10 years.
Win98/Vista? ~ some may even consider thats going backwards!
I bet you're married to your computer. :D
Ha-ha!

Not because it's the 1st key on keyboard?
This is not funny, it's insightful.
Perhaps they could take FreeBSD, perhaps with a customized Mach kernel, and add a fancy, easy to use and intuitive graphical user interface?
oh, wait...
That's Mac you idiot!!
oh wait... :D
Dont blame me, I'm using Vista, took a while to get the joke
Also, it's not really a Second Life competitor since you can't create stuff, part of what makes SL unique. It's more like just chat rooms.
Is that so? just wait and see... It's Google, they sure got the money & talent.
do you really see their entire truck line going non-petroleum in 7 years? Maybe the passenger cars, but not the trucks.

that's already 80% of their vehicle output.. sounds like solving 80% of the problem to me...

I'll miss that box, its really rock solid.

I agree with what you are trying to do. There are smart and intelligent people that occasionally hangs out /.
