<0> I installed office 2007 beta, thats lame
<1> 2007?
<1> hahaha
<1> they are depserate to get upgrades
<1> it's so fuinny to see MS thrashing around
<1> and watching ms vista get later and shedding features
<1> plus get this
<0> I got MSDN subscription
<0> its pretty nice
<1> MS hired 10,000 people in financial year 2006
<1> 16% increase in headcount
<1> that's insane
<1> that alonme will set them back a year probably
<1> trying to integrate that many new people
<0> vista will be a downfall
<1> nah
<1> it'll sell
<1> but pick up will take a while
<0> you saw it?
<1> I mean companies are still finishing windows 2000 deployments in some cases
<0> you need AMD dual core with 2GB to run it
<1> and that will be a 1000$ corp machine in 1-2 years
<1> so why build something runs on yesterdays hardware
<1> the real issue will be. what does it get me that XP doesn't
<1> and the answer is...
<1> very little
<0> very little?
<1> winfs is out
<1> that was a huge thing
<0> Listen compaines wont buy that ****
<1> it's got ap rettier gui/etc
<0> it has big costs
<1> you don't understand MS licensing
<1> most are on licensing 6.0
<1> which is a subscription
<1> so you're basically paying for it anyways
<1> so purchase cost is really a non issue
<0> Im not talking about licensing, Im talking about licensing new strong computers :)
<1> everything is on a 3 year replacement cycle
<0> they will need to upgrade their old workstations
<1> that's how stuff is depresciated
<1> depreciated rather
<1> so again. non issue
<0> we'll see :) I think it will cause microsoft to big damage
<1> not really
<1> they'll keep lurching along
<1> they got to much money in the bank to go away anytime this decade or nect
<0> I think Unix will win them in 5-7 years
<1> yeah
<1> people said that 10 years ago
<0> Ubuntu can win microsoft
<1> wake me up when it happens
<1> hahaha
<1> no
<0> its like windows, freebsd/openbsd will be in the end of the list :)
<1> until it has some equiv to signed updates, and GPO, it won;t cut it in large deployments
<1> this is why redhat/suse are rocking along
<1> they are addressing these issues
<0> what distro you running for home use?
<1> none
<1> all my stuff is business
<1> redhat enterprise and openbsd firewalls
<0> lol
<1> windows xp pro desktops
<0> oh ok
<0> redhat? is it still existed? :)
<1> I'm gonna ignore you now
<0> lol
<0> I thought they ended up in the 9 version
<0> sorry for my illiteracy
<0> seifried: you ignored me? lol :)
