Justin, I will go out on a limb here and answer for Norm, I'm sure his reply was ironic, the Gatesian use of "random" being a dead givaway. There was some news from the last few days I never got around to posting, about Hydra/Citrix/ICA/Winterm/whatever supposedly being announced April 13, did it ever hit beta? I got to dig through the archives sometime, I think that it'll be very close to a year after Bill's "one true NC" announcement. Microsoft is supposed to be confused about how to price the thing without messing up the old business plan. Shades of the IBM of years past, if you know how they operated.
Of course, this is all somewhat more than 10 years after X was pretty mature and stable, but that would have never, ever, ever fit in with the old business plan. Sheesh. Come to think of it, it's about 10 years after Steve Job's Next launch, with his own cut on a windowing system, Display Postscript- is that still supposed to be in Rhapsody?
Cheers, Dan. |
