From: http://www.mainsoft.com/press/pr -internetexpl.html Microsoft has been distributing Internet Explorer for Solaris and HP/UX since 1997 by utilizing Mainsofts MainWin product to port Internet Explorer technologies to UNIX. In this new contract, Microsoft has engaged Mainsofts Professional Services organization to assist in maintaining and updating Internet Explorer for UNIX. This support service allows Microsoft to most effectively benefit from Mainsofts extensive cross-platform application development expertise with proven methodologies, best practice tools and professional skills honed during hundreds of successful porting projects
Like the sinking Titanic filling the lifeboats, MS has seen the writing on the wall and has begun to bail out from windows.
The lagging sales of W2K was a rude slap in the revenue stream and the growing linux market share looks like greener grass for ms to harvest on.
To all the investors reading this and wondering "Does MS believe it will win the DOJ anti-trust case?". This anoucement should make the answer a resounding "NO, they know they're going to loose".
Re:".. that no prerelease announcements should be allowed to be made unless the release of a product is imminent (within a month or two), and there should be penalties for each day the product is delayed (maybe retail cost * 1000 or something like that)."
It's called an investor lawsuit and they can and do happen. If the board of a publicly held company intentionally misslead the investors, they can bring a case against said company, showing a drop in the stock price as proof that they've been defrauded.
(IANALBIRALO/. I am not a lawyer but I read a lot of/.) The problem is, ms investors are making a ton of jack on MS stock, and don't bitch when it dips.
you laugh . .
consider the following quotes from: http://slashdot.org/tacohell/
"Why is it that my VISA bill arrives in an envelope packed with a special offer to buy a watch, "Cardmember Tips" like "Pay on Time", a page of checks offering a reduced rate, advertisements for long distance service, automotive insurance, and more?"
"I'm baking this kellogs pastry thingee in a toaster oven. Now I'm a veteren of many a pop-tar, but this is a variation on the theme that I'm unfamiliar with... the little bell goes off and I excitedly whip the glas door open. I rish inside to grab the tasty treat, only to overshoot, and plunge my fingers into the surface."
Andy Rooney would be proud.:)

This story at eetimes (dating back to:04/26/99, 10:54 a.m. EST) talks about a company called Starium (Monterey, Calif.). They have an ecryption model for digital cellular comunications that seems interesting.
From the article:, Cowpland said he would dedicate his time and resources to new Linux ventures. Linux is an open source computer operating system which supporters claim is more reliable and flexible than Microsoft Corp.'s (MSFT.O) Windows, which is a closed proprietary system.
Looking at the business model that Nitendo and Sony seem to be following, I would have to agree that they need to apply some creative thinking in order to derive a revenue stream from this market.
Let's not forget the many many people who said: "why would someone want to pay you for something they can get off the net for free?".
If there's anyone who knows how to make money in this space, it's redhat.
From the article: . . . the companies have formed an alliance to jointly manage branding and distribution of DV Linux, an upcoming universalstandard operating system for console video gaming and TV-based entertainment applications.

quantum mechanical property that observing changes the observed
In other words, this law/thing/observation has more to do with the method of observation than it has to do with the property being observed.
