RE: NY Times Reports "Little Blue "- IBM to Offer Smaller Versio n OfIts Mainframe Computer

Microsoft is a programmer driven company. Always planning a new version of 
their code, promising more than they can deliver, and like good programmers, 
sticking with it and finally completing the project. I respect them a lot!  
Check out how they have reworked and streamlined the call stack in win64:

Judging by how not ready for prime time is the desktop version of Linux, MSFT 
has plenty of time to spend getting Vista right.

Hey, anything that cuts into or forestalls the lemming-like move to Wintel 
boxes is good news for shareholders. Of course, M$ is having its own 
problems. Check out this blog regarding Vista:
