MS Breakup... Good or Bad?
Posted by: J0rdan on: 05/03/2000 04:20 PM [ Print | 6 comment(s) ]
The guys over @ Wired posted an interesting article on how people in the computer industry are feeling about the potential of a Microsoft breakup. As we all have heard its been proposed that MS be split into two companies, one specializing in operating systems, the other in applications. As usual, opinions vary.
"It's a big step in the right direction," said James Love, director of Ralph Nader's Consumer Project on Technology.He argued that this breakup could lead to MS applications such as Office, being ported to alternative operating systems such as BeOS. However, there are always two sides to any argument.
"It makes me feel happy to be a taxpayer," he added. "My taxes are being well-spent."
"I think it's ominous that in the same week the Department of Justice kidnaps a 6-year old to send him back to live under a dictatorship, it's trying to break up a company that has been a fountainhead for the new economy," Nicholas Provenzo said... "There is little more to be said except it's the slippery slope into socialism."Whoa, some strong views. I'd be really interested in any thoughts you all had in our talkback forum. In the mean-time, go check out the article here.

The Register has posted a review of IBM's Thinkpad T42p. The T42p sports ATI's Mobility Fire GL T2 workstation graphics chip. What sets a workstation chip apart from standard graphics chips is its certification for use with certain high-end graphical design packages. So if you want a notebook to run a CAD package, or a 3D rendering application, you'll want one that has a graphics chip approved by the software vendor. That way, when you run a preview of that complicated scene that you've been working on for days, you know it will work.This really does look like a mobile workstation. You might want to take a look. |

The guys over at SFFTech have posted a review of Iwill's ZMAXdp SFF. If I'm not mistaken, Hooz is running one of these units in the secret 2CPU.com underground test bunker. After previewing two "engineering samples" and now reviewing the final shipping product, we can confidently say that the ZMAXdp continues to amaze us. As you |
