The two don't usually mix too well where the rules are not well defined. So I suspect IBM wanted Digital Research to do it. But something went wrong with that relationship. Licensing? Costs? Technology? Who knows. But Bill Gates and Ballmer got their start by an element of luck of this event. But to their credit, they did ruthlessly leverage it to the MS behemoth we see today.

How often one might expect to see Windows "crash" is proportional to what you use your computer for. An analogy would be you wouldn't expect your car to have a major mechanical breakdown if all you did was drive it up and down your driveway once a week. However if you're trying to tow a two ton boat and trailer up a steep hill for miles every weekend then something breaking down is far more likely to happen. It is obvious from reading many of the posts here that a lot of people merely "play" with their computer. That's like driving that car back and forth on your driveway. Of course just surfing the web, reading email, maybe writing some short document or crunching some numbers in a spreadsheet isn't stressful to your computer or Windows so expecting it to see crashes under those circumstances would be silly and yes if that's all I did I wouldn't expect Windows to crash for years either. On the other hand some of us actually WORK with our computers stressing it to the limit like that car straining to pull that boat and trailer up a steep hill for mile after mile. The chances of Windows crashing when it is running under heavy load increases the likelihood something will hang, stop working or the system just getting sluggish.

And I assume you mean rec.radio.shortwave? Could be some > ISP has a poorly configured news server too. I certainly didn't add that > in. > > Nor me :) Anyway, it is a change to have some rational discussion on the subject. One consideration I have with regard to operating systems is that Microsoft do employ a large number of people in the US and do have resources to experiment, that is to take on innovative projects that are not financially disastrous to the company if they fail to find a large market. Many smaller companies who might develop similar projects would fail because they would face too much time to market. So yes Microsoft definitely has a place, no problem with that, but it is going to get tougher to keep it because until some really new technology appears there is a limit to what can be added to any operating system, Vista for example does not add that much to the functionality of XP, but if people have trouble with it then it actually takes something away from them. Personally I have found that users quickly get used to the newer Linux distributions and for work these are just fine. For games of course not so good, but then you don't want people playing counter strike at work eh? A side effect of my messing with it at work is that now, maybe 20 people know there is an alternative OS they can put on the old machine they can't use because XP/ME is broken and they lost or damaged the CD. As they haul that out of the closet for the kids to use or as a spare machine their friends will see it and use it. This is why I say that MS need to be careful, because at some future date the rise in the use of alternatives could become exponential, Linux' problem has been that nobody got familiar with it in their day to day life. As they do that things could change. Computer stores will have to offer it, techs will have to learn it, etc. My IT pro will not adopt Vista if he can avoid it because the company has no real use for the "Extra" features it offers over XP. Most work related stuff requires only internet access and text entry with some spreadsheet work thrown in. Basically we have to have W2003 on one server per facility, but could equally well use a Linux with open office for everything, including access to the server (The main data entry program used is Windows only). Why would we spend say $1500 each for all new machines in order to do just what we do now? Over time maybe, IF we could get the networking between Vista and "Something else" reliable, but that is another issue. Personally, were I Mr Gates or Mr Ballmer, I think I'd rather see pirate copies of XP used than have Linux appearing on random desktops, but I'm not :) So I don't really advocate anything, only state what appears to me to be the obvious. That there is plenty of hardware out there that can be refurbished, and with the financial situation many people are in now I can see that happening. I mean what is XP going to cost, assuming you can get it legitimately in the future, couple of hundred? Then something like MS Office? Couple of hundred? Ubuntu and Open Office - nothing - zilch, maybe the price of a blank CD of you want to be picky. Now I happen to like XP, but hey, I am not the one "Taking it away". I like Vista, but I also have older machines it simply cannot run on, where XP runs just fine for most things. Debian and Ubuntu run well on just about anything - although to be honest I did find one old one that ran XP but not Linux and cannot explain that because it was really too old anyway and I trashed it. So you know, it's got to be a valid decision for Microsoft to make - what happens to XP? I think my inclination would be to keep selling it, gradually reducing the price. If not, people will steal it or worse still (IMHO) look elsewhere. I don;t think you can declare million of machines obsolete in the space of a year or two. I don't know any IT pro who really wants to rush out and buy a new OS the day it is released, especially when the "Core" is radically different from the previous version. As someone (you?) suggested the progress on the Linux core should hold far fewer surprises being more incremental. However to be fair I have noted more "Glitches" in the current release of Ubuntu than in the version I have at work which is now maybe 2 years old. Debian is harder to get set up, but rock steady by comparison. This suggests that as more "Glitz" is added to any OS more things get unreliable. So yes, many people like Windows and will continue to do so, those who don't really care as long as it works reliably may reconsider, and guess what, those are often the people with hundreds of machines to maintain.

On the front lines, computers are very >mission-critical. Talk about annoying the audience, a somewhat new trend in live local TV news broadcasts in Chicago and I'll assume elsewhere the last few years is to have a long shot showing the anchors in the foreground while passerby on the street are shown since it now seems to be the "in" thing to have a showcase studio at street level. Invariably some yahoo stares or just has to wave or jump or down or do something dumb, which in my options totally destroys the anchor's creditability making the news, suppose to be a serious show, look more like a circus. Even dumber is the director of CNBC's popular "Fast Money" show that features motor mouth anchor Dyland Ratigan and four "experts" giving stock tips each trying to out talk each other. While I find the banter often interesting, the director constantly makes fast cuts to show one of the experts not talking while you still hear the one that is. This probably was a accident originally, but now it seems to be a "feature" of the show with whoever the director switches to as soon as they're aware the camera is on them they ham it up, like smirk or roll their eyes or do something else silly while the other guy is still heard talking. I don't get it.
