Most windows users can't even install applications by themselves, and when they try to the end up with a million spyware programs.
Oh come on... Show me one person in the world who cannot install any retail application from a CD. If you have fingers or toes, you can click next three times and click finish. One of the problems with Windows is that its too easy to install applications.
That must have been much easier than going into the local policy and setting the cryptic "Do not allow Windows Messenger to be run" property. Or if you can use Google, you would have found that there's a command to remove it from the command line. Try this:

Windows XP N a Bust

Why are we even discussing this? This is lame - essentially with XP-N, users will be able to choose whether they get XP with media player or not. If they choose not, they still can go to WindowsUpdate or Microsoft Downloads and get a free download to install the Media Player pieces. This whole discussion is a waste of electrons. All MS is doing is setting mplay = off in Winnt.sif to prevent media player from installing. Does that really count as another version of XP? The lamest thing is that most non-MS applications use some of the core framework of Media Player to play media. I can't wait until Media Player 9 starts to get listed as a pre-requisite for applications, just like DirectX is now.
this was in response to the European Regulator's request to decouple Media player from the OS. The last thing any corporation wants to do is have to seperately install and license another piece of software. Big companies can cripple Media Player pretty effectively through GPO and custom deployments and still have the ability to use video in powerpoints.
I'm looking forward to the remake of the Sound of Music. If there's one thing that movie needed, it was Batman. "The Hills are alive, with the sound of vengeance"
Not to mention that you can't even compare Pentiums anymore now that the Pentium M is coming up faster at 2.17 than the Pentium 4 is at 3.8.
Maybe AMD was right about performance and Ghz...
HP's UNIX Roadmap:
1) Advertise all the good things from Tru64 and OpenVMS as being available in the next version of HP-UX
2) Delay the launch of the next version of HP-UX
3) Kill off Tru64 and OpenVMS
4) Replace "Alpha" with "Itanium"
5) Sell overpriced migration tools to customers to allow them to port applications to HP-UX on the Itanic
6) Profit!
Somehow HP = HP+Compaq = Compaq-DEC
I can't help but wonder if Avalanche technology will find its way into whatever MS does with Groove Network's products. Groove was an interesting product with horrible P2P replication technology. Maybe Office 200x/Sharepoint 200x will be lighter on the networks because of Avalanche.
Slashdot Mirror
Did anyone else read this and wonder who exactly is getting fitted with a Slashdot IUD?
Sorry, the closest they've come is with a suppository.
Windows ran on PowerPC 10 years ago. Been there, done that.
You missed a decimal. 100 people per square mile, not 10.
I think he meant to say "at will state" - not that it matters, it still doesn't apply.

"Can't friggin uninstall it", as if.

Yeah, that'd be rough. All those countries with good economies and infrastructure. It'd really suck when we run out of poor people.
They still sell internationally...
Everybody knows the odd numbered Nvidia's suck. It's like Star Trek Movies.
ATI - Radeon X800
Both at 256mb on a PCI-Express x16 (This is what is currently shipping on Alienware Area 51m-7700s and Dell XPS Gen 2s)

The way the media has been going, it will more likely be a suppository.
Finally a practical use of D-Wave's Quantum Computer.
Obviously it runs Netbsd. Shouldn't it run all versions of all Operating Systems simultaneously?
Tune in tomorrow - same Bat-time, same Bat-channel!
