Yeah, it's going to be "fun" to see people cursing Redhat after finding out that some stuff suddenly doesn't work (hint - if you use IBM JRE for example- then STAY with 8.0!, ditto for Crossover users, WineX users, and if you're using Sun's J2SE - then upgrade to the latest!) > 2.

Yeah, full hype and almost zero (in quantities of what MS is used to) sales - at least until 2004. Does anyone knows about winFS kernel module module to connect to 2003 server? > 3. VMware 4.

Any word whats going to be the new stuff in VMWare 4? As for Crossover - I think it will be released either at the end of this month (or my bet) next month. Highlights this time (that have been published before) Photoshop 7 support, Office XP, and perhaps few more. Probably Internet Explorer 6SP1. > 4. Opteron (the "Itanium" of AMD). Have you seen how much heat it releases? few people told me it's almost like Itanium - so you buy a 1-2 processor server, and you don't need to heat the house any more ;) > 5.

Are they going to give free CD's? I'm sure it's going to be a hit (btw - does anyone from the Open Office team is considering to translate the menus to Hebrew?) > 6.
