Microsoft no longer officially supports them, of course, but in theory
they could port to the IA64 in a manner similar to their NT ports to the
Alpha (which is 64-bit) and PPC.
Assuming they still have rights thereto. I don't know who did the ports.

IBM Market Cap: $168B
MSFT Market Cap: $277.1B
I suppose it's possible, especially since IBM stock has tumbled from
a high of $134.938 on September 1 to its current value as of the end
of the trading session today of $96 7/16 -- a drop of 28.5% over
almost two months.
The question might be: would MSFT want to? (And why?)

Actually, all of the Linux's that I've installed (RedHat, Mandrake, and

in place in the FIRST install step.
Meanwhile, in MS-LoseDows land...it's Install a driver...reboot, install

I agree. Wait until you have to manually chop an extra blank line out of
each page of 1000 pages, or manually renumber 1000 pages worth of headings,
etc. This is the kind of crap that drives people nuts with Word. It's a
turbocharged time waster. If you really need to format your documents,
you're far better off learning to use "real" tools like LaTeX, or even
Framemaker, which, BTW, is the industry standard for professional writers
(most of whom are employed as technical writers). If you don't want to
bother with that, then for heaven's sake stick with *.txt files, so the
person in charge of formatting can manage the content without wasting hours
or days udoing Word turds.
For shorter documents like magazine or journal articles, it doesn't take as
long to undo the garbage. So most editors and designers don't care as much,
if the writer is comfortable using Word (for the spell checker, dictionary,
etc.)

You mean that win2k still needs to reboot to change hardware configuration -
Linux can easily change addresses of most (maybe all) PCI devices and some
ISA pnp devices without any reboots - You also need no reboots to change
things like IP address, Desktop resolution (restarting X doesn't count as a
reboot), etc.

Here is an interesting excerpt from an article in Server/Workstation Expert
that appeared this month:
Oracle says people are asking for Linux products in great numbers. The
downloads for Linux versions of the Oracle 8i database are running four
times the level of the Windows version, and in the month of July, 285,000
copies of the Linux version of the company�s database were downloaded. �We are
just seeing a huge interest by the developer community," Shimp says. "And we

Yep! For instance, I use my PC for development (primarily C++, Java, and some
other sundry languages). I also use it to play a number of games, including
Age of Empires II, and to do multi-stream audio editing of up to 24 tracks at
a time (thanks to Syntrillium and Steinberg software - bought and paid for).
Also, I need to work in complex Word documents thanks to my employer.
Out of the box, linux development tools rock. Everything else I have to do in
Windows.
So I guess that I'm not in the group you refer to as ANYONE!

It's not. That's what backups are for. Saving in WordPerfect for Linux format

any more?

Thanfully, yours is so much more well thought out.

One of the things I absolutely love in linux - particularly when developing.
Shell sessions monitoring databases and servers in the lower right, mp3 player
(naturally) in the upper right, IDE and tools upper left, browser lower left.
I sorely miss that in Windows.

And zero cognizance of their role in computing history, the good they've done,
the concepts they've advanced - if not created - and the drive they have
provided the industry.
Not to mention the many thousands of people directly employed as a result of
their software, in roles across the board.
No, they aren't angels - but haven't you noticed that every major company in
the industry is starting to resemble them from an ethics standpoint?
Microsoft, Sun, Oracle, Intel - none are worse the others, although if I had
to pick the prince of evil here, it would be Larry Ellison - not Bill Gates.
Do you hate them all equally?

There are plenty of journals that don't accept LaTeX. I have done
two articles for the Journal of Chemical Education and they both
had to be done in Word. (they may have changed their policy by
now). Just recently the Am. Chem. Soc. journals started accepting
LaTeX--I think this is a change (for most journals) just in the
last few years.
On the other hands, there are other journals--like most of the
Am. Physical Society ones, that essentially take only LaTeX.
(I'm not sure if they'd *not* take Word, but all their mechanism
for electronic submission is built around revtex)

Are you saying that when you pay the grocery store money, you get ZERO
benefit from the food you get in exchange?
Please tell us when you get out of kindergarten, ok?

H: "Having found not one single carbon monoxide leak on the entire
premises, it is my belief, and Willard concurs, that the reason
you folks feel listless and disoriented is simply because
you are lazy, stupid people"
I: Loren Petrich's 2-week stubborn refusal to respond to the
challenge to describe even one philosophical difference
between himself and the communists demonstrates that, in fact,
Loren Petrich is a COMMUNIST ***hole
J: Other knee_jerk reactionaries: billh, david casey, redc1c4,
The retarded sisters: Raunchy (rauni) and Anencephielle (Enielle),
also known as old hags who've hit the wall....
A: The wise man is mocked by fools.
B: Jet Silverman plays the fool and spews out nonsense as a
method of sidetracking discussions which are headed in a
direction that she doesn't like.
C: Jet Silverman claims to have killfiled me.
D: Jet Silverman now follows me from newgroup to newsgroup
...despite (D) above.
E: Jet is not worthy of the time to compose a response until
her behavior improves.
F: Unit_4's "Kook hunt" reminds me of "Jimmy Baker's" harangues against
adultery while concurrently committing adultery with Tammy Hahn.
G: Knackos...you're a retard.

Its not "linux" that supports video cards, brainiac. Its the X-server.
You're probably referring to XFree86, and yes it does.
Though AccelleratedX has for a bit longer.
Funny, you seem to have claimed repeatedly that you have lots of experience
running linux. Even someone with very limited experience would have
known that linux doesnt support ANY sort of video hardware directly, and
that all of that happens inside the X-server.
I suspect that youve been lying quite alot, claire.
