Delayed! Windows 2000 Slips Again. via ZDNet >Want more evidence of NT's growing problems? I'm standing on stage after my keynote address at the Washington Software Alliance gala. An old friend walks up. A former programmer, long-time Microsoft loyalist, now partner in an ISP. He started out running Windows NT. Yanked it out when he noticed he had to reboot and tinker five times more often than folks running Linux. It's one thing to hear it in the press. Another to hear it from someone on the front lines, someone with a job to do, someone whose expertise you trust completely. < zdnet.com

Heck, they could have bought AAPL and had billion or so left over to go to Atlantic City with. You know, I've been watching my T shoot up today on the news of this At Home purchase of Excite (over $6, which is huge for T), and it's got me thinking. Scenario: Apple loses its favorable tax status and happens to experience a lull in earnings at about the same time. The stock price drops, and AT&T/TCI moves in for the kill, snapping up a company with an industry-leading hardware design factor and Internet-friendly software. $400 AT&T/Apple co-branded iMacs--complete with cable modem--for everyone who signs up for a year of At Home's cable Internet service. This idea can't lose! Mark
