nothing but .NET<\/u><\/b> – things are changing fast…<\/p>\n
This is going to be a short one, and probably of most interest to that portion
\n of my readership who lives and works in the tech sector, though there are some
\n gems out there for those of you who just want to know all about what shapes
\n my days. <\/p>\n
Whistler<\/u><\/p>\n
Microsoft’s "whistler" operating system is out in beta, and looking
\n really good. Whistler is the upgrade to Windows2000 and WindowsME that plans
\n to (finally!) bring the low and high end of Microsoft’s operating systems together.
\n If you don’t know what I mean, read on…<\/p>\n
WindowsME<\/a> The problem was simple, there was no easy way to merge those two operating Anyway, if you want more information on the Windows OS that you will be using e-utopia<\/u><\/p>\n Bill Gates takes an incredible amount of abuse for being greedy – hell, basically bend over, grease up<\/u><\/p>\n As we all know, the ‘dotcom’ world is going through an incredible amount of bitter, bitter, bitter<\/u><\/p>\n iam – incredibly cute<\/u><\/p>\n
\n grew out of Windows98<\/a> grew
\n out of Windows95<\/a> grew out
\n of Windows 3.1 and so on back into history. Given the compatibility issues they
\n had to work with the buys at Redmond did an amazing job bringing the operating
\n system up to date – adding power and stability to a system that was built on
\n pretty shaky ground. Meanwhile, Windows2000<\/a>
\n grew out of WindowsNT<\/a>
\n – a total rewrite years back of Windows aimed at business users. <\/p>\n
\n systems. Drivers for devices, to name one issue, was radically different as
\n was the basic security system. Windows2000 was almost<\/i><\/b> the unifying
\n force but at the last moment it seemed Microsoft veered away and put out WindowsME
\n – deciding people were not quite ready. I didn’t agree at the time – but they
\n might be right after all.<\/p>\n
\n soon, go take a look at any of these:<\/p>\n\n
\n just for being richer than God. But, the man happens to be one of the largest
\n charitable workers in human history. A crying shame, but there you have it \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n
\n “Let’s be serious. Let’s be serious,” Gates said, sparring with moderator
\n Scott Shuster , a Business Week editor. “Do people have a clear view of
\n what it means to live on $1 a day? … There are things those people need
\n at that level other than technology. … About 99 percent of the benefits
\n of having (a PC) come when you’ve provided reasonable health and literacy
\n to the person who’s going to sit down and use it.” … “There’s no electricity
\n in that house. None. Is someone creating computers that don’t require electricity?”

\n stress as the shake out occurs. Let’s face it a lot of completely stupid companies
\n got money – and a lot of incredibly
\n good firms<\/a> didn’t get any. Well,t here is a whole industry springing up
\n around keeping track of the companies that bite it… head
\n on over<\/a> and check it out!<\/p>\n\n
\n "We have not achieved profitability and expect to continue to
\n incur operating losses for the foreseeable future. We incurred net losses
\n of 62.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000, 93.0 million for
\n the year ended December 31, 1999 and 43.7 million for the year ended December
\n 31, 1998. As of June 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999, our accumulated deficit
\n was 255.3 million and 192.9 million, respectively. We expect to continue
\n to incur significant operating and capital expenditures and, as a result,
\n we will need to generate significant revenues to achieve and maintain profitability."
