Where's Mike Cox and his Rep?...ROFL
I was just sure that little Mikey Cox would have something profound to tell us all about his supposed m$ rep telling him how wonderful life is at m$, and with m$ product. Maybe the company Mikey supposedly works for found out about his initimate and unethical relationship with a supplier's rep??? ROFL!!!

I think WinXP SP2 is looking like vaporware from m$. m$ may deliver something but it will fall far short of the announcements. It is increasingly obvious they with do not know what to do, or cannot fix the problems. How much more bloated can m$ make WinXP? How much slower do they want it to run?

Mikey Cox I am sure that you have something profound that your supposed rep told you...give me a good laugh today. The way it looks Longhorn will be served at McDonald's before it becomes reality.

AS I type this I am reviewing the bids on new systems for the law firm. It appears Linux will be on the servers; most, but not all desktops will be WinXP, and we will most likely build our own boxes, once again, since the box builders are over-priced and under performance and quality.

When and if Longhorn becomes a reality it has got many hurdles to cross. If the software we use here at the firm is ported to Linux, Longhorn will be as dead as a two week old Big Mac, with "Ax" running around and saying he cannot find the cow. Or as the late Clara Pellor said in the Wendy's commercials of many years ago, WHERE's THE BEEF!
