Re: The future of computing

But I thought they'd just rush to the stage where they announced that this
was a "Feature" and the "Extended Uptime" version would be released in a
future upgrade at modest cost.

Humor aside, isn't it nuts that this is what is taking turf from AS/400s?
What MIS man in his right mind makes that choice? Okay, I understand that
the guy _working_ for Microsoft are pretty much obligated to use their
products and that applies in this case. But outside of that arena, "What
were they thinking?"

If you believe that the best technology wins the
marketplace, you haven't been paying attention.
