Sometimes lots of little machines won't do the job. M$ can't play
in that arena but Unix/Linux can. How open to interoperating is
Active Directory ?
How soon till we see an AD samba equivalent by reverse engineering the
protocol ?
What will the reaction be to W2K not supporting Itanium till 2001 ?
What PHB won't be able to see Linux playing at the edges of BigIron
when M$ is trying to force their S/390 to be subservient to the
multiple M$ AD boxes means they are trying to capture another monopoly ?
How long till AD and .NET are added to the list of monopolization
attempts ?
How much chaos do you see when M$ has to adhere to the anti-trust
remedies ?
I think the Supreme Court will let the Appeals court have a chance to
explain that they had no intent to overturn The Sherman Anti-Trust Act.
Saying "We intend to keep on innovating" and "This means we can
integrate a ham sandwich if we want" tends to make the Appeals judges
look like pushovers. M$ attempting to commit another felony while
appealling a conviction on that same felony tends to make judges look
like fools, which makes them far less leinient.
Mike, I think you punched one of my Hot buttons. Sorry, I needed to vent.
