God, this gets old. I've been hearing the exact same thing, with every-single-release of a Windows OS from 3.1 all the way up Win XP. And now, of course, we hear the same thing about Vista. But the reality is, history will repeat itself. Everyone will eventually upgrade to Vista. And IMHO, Vista will probably become the best OS ever produced by Microsoft.
I've installed XP on hundreds of machines and have never come close to the experiences of this idiot. (I won't even get into what can go wrong on X86 partitioning using Solaris, RedHat or Suse)
Here's the suggestions. Read carefully these are really tricky to understand. 1. Before I ever tried installing Solaris or RedHat. I learned something about them and about what can go wrong. You might want to do the same with Windows.
2.Read The Fucking Manual. Apparently Linux Users and Windows Users have something in common, none of 'em can read!
Yeah right. Apple copies from Xerox, IBM copies from Apple and Xerox, Microsoft copies from Apple, IBM and Xerox. Say what you want about Gates, but the fact remains the world of technology was built by someone copying some part of someone elses stuff. Even now.
It's easy to forget that Gates did not build his monopoly illegaly, although he did protect it illegally, and he didn't build it through luck. At one point IBM, Apple and Microsoft (among others) were all doing well in the market. So well in fact, Gates apparently thought there was room for everyone cause he asked APPLE and IBM to go with his vision. Both IBM and Apple declined.
Don't like IP laws? Given that IP laws have played an integral part in the growth of every industrial nation, I can't fathom how one would significantly alter the concept, nevermind the practice.
The real reason MS posted the patch is shut ya' all up and stop the blogsteria from continually feeding the tech media frenzy. My place of employment (30,000 users) has not had any problems with exploit, At my daughters place of employment (180,000 users all over the world) IT reports no problems with the exploit.
But I want to thank you all for wonderful week of waiting for the sky to fall!
"But this is Unix. It's a rare piece of software..." Unix has software? I'll be damned. I wonder how all this would work with millions of commercial applications available?
Sorry, ya' can't have it both ways. Every tech media outlet is full of stories about the gains Linux is making, how Linux on the Desktop is spreading all over..Munich, Vienna, Macedonia, maybe even Massachusetts! how Firefox is closing in on 15% percent market share. If the stories are true, then the monopoly is over, the market has spoken. Now it's time for Open Source and Linux to stop the whining, get off its proverbial arse and compete.
The whole concept of making something visually appealing and powerful seems to be lost on many Linux/Windows techies. That accounts for why IT doesn't understand the visual value of Windows Vista while consumers will love it. But eventually, IT will upgrade. They always do. As a matter of fact you could keep the article and republish it every time a new Microsoft OS upgrade is released cause' every time an upgrade is released the media predicts the same thing. For following "blah blah blah" reasons, no one going to move from (take your pick, 3.0,3.1,3.11,W95,w98,w2000, wXP) to the latest and greatest. Eventually, everyone does, they just take their time.
Ain't that the truth.. Here's the recommended scenerio's for SqlExpress.. The three main usage scenarios for SQL Server Express are: ---- Nonprofessional developers building Web applications
ISVs redistributing SQL Server Express as a low-end server or client data store
Hobbyists building basic client/server applications
---- Comparing a product that makes no claim to handling the test scenario with one that is "Enterprise grade" simply because both are free is asinine.
MySQL claims to make an enterprise grade database. If you want to compare it with other companies then do so with those companies enterprise grade databases. Compare it with DB2, Oracle 10g or SQL 2005.
I'll tell ya', I thought the mainstream media was bad, but after reading hundreds of tech news stories over the last few months, I can't believe these people call themselves journalists.
The EU's anti-trust settlement with MS included having MS offer a Windows version without the media player bundled. MS complied. The problem, from the EU's point of view, is that no one is buying the unbundled version. Users want the media player and they want it bundled.
This mirrors a lot what we have found out within the company I work for. When given the choice, 90% of our users simply do not want to get rid of Windows, Office, or the media player.
Apparently, nobody bothered to fact check the article or follow up on recent events.
I won't bother you with all the details, but what happened was a group effort of the Macedonian government, the Peoples Republic of China, USAID and Microsoft. Open source software was installed on SOME machines initially as a stop gap measure until the donations, money and resources could come together to rebuild the infrastructure. The end result is that Windows XP, and Microsoft Office were installed in all schools and on 6,000 computers donated by the PRC.
You've got a point. Seagram claims "success" in that "The court denied Napster's claim that it was a mere conduit..." It seems that Bronfman and company love a higher abstract level of accountibily when it comes to dealing with losing music profits as opposed losing booze profits. It's ironic that Seagrams follows the same philosophical route that Napster does when it comes to accountibility over alchohol use. If MADD attempted to sue Seagrams, they would most likely hear "hey, we merely make the stuff" or "your honor we are merely a conduit."
If you look at some of the sites created with ColdFusion it becomes apparent that in the right hands, it can indeed create large scale e-commerce sites. And I think that's the same with almost any of the major development platforms. If you know your stuff, it doesn't matter whether you use PHP, ASP or any other language. Most stuff I do is done in large corporate settings. We need to look at some of these technologies in a slightly different way. I can't spend weeks teaching someone PHP, PERL, or TCL and how to hook anyone of them into Apache so that it outputs reports from FoxPro or Access. ColdFusion suits our purposes well. It's a good tool. Bob

But they reversed it and just used Windows.
You think too much-:)

Yeah right. Apple copies from Xerox, IBM copies from Apple and Xerox, Microsoft copies from Apple, IBM and Xerox. Say what you want about Gates, but the fact remains the world of technology was built by someone copying some part of someone elses stuff. Even now.

I don't get the analysts point... Didn't I just read somewhere that WOW now has 5 million players?

Microsoft is not a monopoly anymore, the court case is over, what they're doing is legal and it is not unethical. It's business. Get over it.

But if he did, he'd be clapping his hands. Another split in the open source movement.
Absolutely. Piracy helps keep the Penquin from soaring with the eagle and X-Box will eventually take the market lead.

Me too! To think that someone would do something like this...And right in the middle of the primaries. I think I'll just go out and shoot myself...
