Gates launches Exchange Server 5.5, admits NT 5.0 slip zdnet.com Gates also said Hydra, the multiuser version of NT, would be the answer to the touted thin client market. Right, Bill, except it's essentially the same thing as X Windows, which we all coulda had instead of that other Windows system, 10 years ago. Oops, except for that all-important proprietary lock thing. "There are a number of vendors that have promoted thin clients, but they are flawed in that they are incompatible with PCs and their approach requires the use of a browser to run locally," Gates said. "Any machine that can run a browser is not thin. The browser has to be the thickest application man has ever invented, and it's getting thicker faster than anything every development by man." Bill's got a point here, but he sorta slipped up too. The browser the thickest application ever invented? Oops. Cheers, Dan.
