Comment - Nintendo: Wii shortages are hurting our business
(Dec 18, 2007 - 1:36 PM)
Don't forget that Nintendo also makes a profit on hardware as well. The Nintendo heads have made it quite clear that they intend to manufacture/sell hardware in such a way as to still make a profit off of it. Remember that the Gamecube was a profitable piece of hardware for Nintendo (though I really don't know how!?!).
Nintendo does things differently, unlike MS and Sony, who both takes a loss on hardware sales to hopefully make up for it in software licensing. Wasn't it just this past year that MS' games division actually started turning profit?
And IMHO, I think this Wii shortage is actually due to Nintendo's inability to properly forecast hardware sales. Who knew it would be this popular a year later? And yes, they can just "build more factories", they definitely gots the dough. But once demand drops off, you're gonna have wasted $$$ opening all the extra factories that you're now gonna have to spend more $$$ in closing... -

Comment - Quandary: Is Windows Desktop Search Installing Itself?
(Oct 25, 2007 - 4:59 PM)
Ultimately, I do take responsibility for this fubar on my network. I put my update/security trust in the masterminds behind WSUS updates. I won't make that mistake twice. Which is the mark of a good NetAdmin in my mind, not someone worthy of firing. That is unless I'm in the presence of "NetAdmin perfection" on this site???
Anywho, I'm sure a lot of guys, myself included, never viewed Desktop Search as a Windows upgrade, but rather nothing more than a shot at Google Desktop search (which works much, much better btw)... -

Danged M$....
Here's another post from a "moron admin who deserves to be fired..."
If I have WSUS install UPDATES automatically for both M$ Office 2k3 and M$ Office 2k7, then it should only update whatever VERSION of Office is installed on the machine.
If Office 2k3 is not present on the client, the UPDATE should not INSTALL Office 2k3 on the client. Instead, it should install UPDATES to Office 2k7 (that is if Office 2k7 is installed on the client in the first place).
This is what is happening with this danged Search UPDATE. It's INSTALLING (not UPDATING) it whether or not M$ Desktop Search was present on the client in the first place.
Suffice it to say, WSUS does absolutely nothing automatically on my network any longer...
