Makes me happy I bought my Mac and am switching to an all MAC network, better OS and hardware. Can't beat it =)
The Palladium is public by Microsoft however MS employees decided it would be fun to release other details such as the "trusted code" part which means microsoft checks anythign and everything before its runtime, this infact won't be practical and no Intel nor AMD will go with it because Intel has already slapped their sales of their pentium 4's by stciking with Rambus. Going with a (illegal) software/hardware standard will be the final step in destroying their company. Yes I said illegal because it is as that project tramples upon every privacy rights and MS knows all too well about anti-trust laws *wink* which are directly violated with non-commercial developers. As they MS exec said, its a drawing board project and its already under federal investigation by the DOJ so its only a matter of time before this is amended to yet another indictment of MS employees. I personally am glad I went to Apple, much better product and ive had no problems since. Don't bash apple until you've actually tried their products too. =p Anyway, I want to hear form Eric Smith on the WON situation as its only rumors right now unless there is an official press release on this matter. The temporary fix works but im curious to know why it caused such a comotion. -iggy ----- Original Message ----- From: "Philip (Fiber)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, October 08, 2002 2:56 PM Subject: RE: [hlcoders] WON is really down? > And getting MS executives to talk like that it pretty good (I wish I had > those skillz).
