I think Atari and Amiga got there first.
Remember when Microsoft said
- Users won't need more than 640k ...
- Users don't need a graphical interface ...
- Users don't need multitasking ...
- The internet won't take off ...
- MSX is the future of home computing ... - Remember the Microsoft
reference machine. Software from MS hardware
from Japanese manufacturers (cf Windows CE)
-
The question is - "Can we name a core product Microsoft hasn't copied
or created without the help of others ?"
That discounts DOS (bought from QDOS), SQL Server (Sybase),
GUI Word/Excel (developed with Apple), NT (team bought from DEC),
Plug&Pray (copied from Apple), Windows (corrupted from Apple),
Visio (puchased), Access (purchased).
That leaves
Basic and Powerpoint (I think!!)

OK, poor analogy. Let's stick with the case at hand. Two companies, ABC
and XYZ, sell computers. ABC charges everyone $1,000 base price which
includes $100 for MS Windows whether or not the computer buyer wants it
or not. XYZ sells systems without Windows for $900 but those including
Windows for $1,020 which includes $120 for MS Windows. Why? Because MS
charges XYZ $20 more for each OEM Windows license than ABC. As long as
there are many more Windows buyers than Linux, or OS/2 or Be or whatever
buyers, XYZ is at a disadvantage to ABC. Is the price differential fair?
Possibly arguable. Is it legal? Seems not - good thing!

OK, Microsoft has what is referred to as a 'network monopoly'. Rant and
rave all you want that this isn't a 'monopoly' in the sense of 100%
market share. It's in Microsoft's interest to keep that position in the
PC market. Nothing inherently evil in that - it's an asset that most
business managers would seek to protect. However, Microsoft has been
somewhat overenthusiastic in maintaining it, and their actions have
crossed over into illegality. Again, rant all you want about whether or
not their actions should be illegal or whether the court made a just or
reasoned decision. It won't change current circumstances.
If one believe Microsoft has acted illegally (we seem to differ), and if
one believes Microsoft can't be trusted to check itself from acting in
like manner in future (we may differ again), then the only practical
recourse would be to eliminate Microsoft's ability to bully OEMs, other
software makers, standards organizations, etc. That means ending its
network monopoly (again, rant all you want about semantics - I'm now
qualifying my use of 'monopoly' so you can't hide behind your dictionary
any more). That pretty much requires converting the current Microsoft
into multiple, competing companies.
Best suggestion I've heard so far is to split it into 3 or 4 companies,
one with W2K, the development tools and SQL Server BUT NO BROWSER
(business OS and systems tools), one with Win98, WinCE, the MS-DOS
rights, possibly including the hardware units - mice, keyboards, etc
(consumer OS and system products), one with Office, the browser, all
other application software, and possibly the content units - MSN, MSNBC,
etc. - though the content units might be a fourth company. The first two
companies would be competing against each other for the low-end
commercial and some of the academic markets. The third, once divirced
from the other two, would see that it was in its best interests to begin
supplying Linux, Be, OS/2, etc. products, thus weakening further the
clout of the first two.

This wasn't a reaction to you. It was a reaction to a Microsoft ad I saw
on TV recently delivered by none other than Chairman Bill, who
deadpanned that all Microsoft wants to do in the next decade is just
more innovation. So, you could say that it comes straight from Bill
Gates's own mouth that Microsoft is responsible for innovation.
As for Anheuser-Busch, last time I looked in my local grocery, they had
less than 10% of shelf space in the beer cooler, basically the same as
Miller. Neither had as much space as Pyramid Brewing because Pyramid had
close to a dozen varieties, which apparently sell better than Bud, Busch
or Michelob. Analogy? Stick with Microsoft and get three flavors of
swill. Or keep them from taking over 90% or more of the market and get
some variety, maybe even something you really want.
BTW, I read your first post in this thread. People should be able to use
Windows if they want. However, I shouldn't have to pay for a Windows
license the next time I buy a computer on which I want to run Linux, or
Be, or FreeBSD, or OS/2, . . .

Yes, a write should, and will, update the existing file. But programs
that update existing files will quite often use the "failsafe" approach
of writing a new file with a temporary name and then, after writing the
whole file successfully, use a rename() call to substitute the new file
for the old one. In that secnario your symlink will get deleted and
replaced with the new file. There's really not much you can do about it
without rewriting the program to try to make it smarter about preserving
an existing symlink.

Yeah, I read about that on slashdot, very interesting stuff. But you've
still got to get your app to run on all those linux systems. Such a
setup could be useful for a problem that lends itself to parallel
processing. Maybe redhat could buy one for code testing purposes, but
they need to start making a profit before they invest in that kind of
hardware.
But I think a better use of linux would be as nodes in a beowulf
cluster, to replace a S/390 or as (inexpensive) clients to one. As nifty
as those 41,000 penguins might be, it's still running on top of a VERY
proprietary IBM os.
Someone on slashdot commented to the effect that these mainframes are
built so redundantly, they're like somekind of Borg technology, rather
than normal pc/unix hardware which in this example is quite correct,
because they've added linux's "destinctiveness to their own". They're
not replacing vm, linux is being assimulated into vm, which isn't cool.

the first thing, me thinks, would be to find out which card you're using
and which driver you need.
since win seems to recognize your card,
have a look at that,
and maybe post here which card win uses.
then maybe someone is able to point out which module to use.
the module, anyway, needs to be compiled for your kernel -
so either you get one with your kernel sources in the distribution or
you compile it.

Can't speak against BSD (I like linux and the GPL too much), but debian
is a good choice. You can get icewm, xfree, and a good set of tools in
about 70meg. Choose "standard server", go into dselect and unmark any
things you don't need like nfs-server, nis-server, pop and smtp servers,
install, then add the basic xfree stuff. A good place to recover a few
megs is /usr/doc and the man pages, which you may not really need on
each and every xterminal.

Yeah, don't let other people login and start kde. I'm not sure exactly
what part of X is doing that, but changing the permissions of certain
devices like sound, console, etc are a very normal thing when X fires up
on the local console. You could always add chmod's to that user's
