You guys are geeks.

j/k

I love you computer fags!!

I throw this **** out here just to piss RD off, sad thing is I am pretty sure he knows it cause he stays off the topic until he just can't take it anymore. He waited a while this time, he's usually quicker.

I'll have to come up with something a little more "off the charts" next time.

Haha.. Phins you rock. :mullet:

I doubt that MS is going to get much into hardware, however the next office is already being tested in house and will be a very small install, you will have to be connected to the internet to download the remaining install files. Basically the install gives you the ok to install them and a key.

Ummm, dunno if you read that anywhere https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

Acutally I knew about that or at least the concept for it, they've been heading that way for some time now https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png The real question will be a network level install, it'll bomb if they won't allow it. Plus the acceptance of broadband...

I'm guessing that about half of palladium will come out and the other half will not. Some of the ideas behind it are good and very workable, the rest are getting to close to the privacy line and the goverment will put a stop to all of that too many eyes. Otherwise, Microsoft has the right to protect it's software just as anyone else does.

The idea that you won't be able to run anything that's not MS approved is totally rediculous. Sounds like something Stallman would come up with.

Microsoft isn't going to do something that's going to piss off almost everyone using their systems.

No doubt there, Stallman and his crew are total zealots that make the rest of the Linux community look bad.

One thing though, no one is going to force anyone to upgrade to this new stuff, whether it is intrusive or not. I've been using an AMD K6-2 500 system for quite a while with a legitimate copy of Windows 2000 Pro and Office 2000 Pro. I feel no need to upgrade because my system does everything I want it to do. The only people out there that have a compelling need to upgrade are gamers that need to stay on the leading edge of performance to play all the latest games.

You say that now, but businesses that won't be able to open new Office.net documents because they are running an older incompatible version will ultimately be forced to upgrade.
