"Is that a typo? Or are we entering the era of racial software?" I find it curious that you would even attempt to twist that into a race issue (maybe I shouldn't?). It's a transcription error, the word is Blackcomb. See: microsoft.com and/or whistler-blackcomb.com "The guy might have a bit more credibility if he knew how many hours a year three nines equated to." How many nines does the 22 hour downtime EBay's SUN servers suffered in June work out to Charles? And why is Microsoft consolidating its Exchange servers; don't they believe in "scale out?" You must've glossed over this part for SOME reason -"MSNBC, for example, saw a tremendous performance benefit. They are able to handle now with just four servers the volume of traffic that they previously required eight servers with NT 4. So they're seeing roughly a doubling of performance. And any time that you can go to a customer and say, for a simple software upgrade I can deliver essentially twice the hardware that's a very good value proposition. That's a very easy sale for us." "Does that mean the home users (who don't have "high touch" support) are screwed?" Screwed is your spin. How about telling us how home users using Sun workstations and wanting to to enjoy Halo or many other 3D games are SOL. "Well, at least the training folks will have job security" Not very smart making such an assumption Charles. That statement alone tells me either you haven't seen Whistler or you are scared. JMHO.
