  1. Comment - Microsoft Delays XP for Legacy PCs

    Well, all these delays mean to me is that our rewarding use of the 2X client will expand. Fundamentals is likely to be dead for us.

    LMAO

    "AOL has long held aspirations to break down the walls surrounding AIM and invite outsiders to build solutions upon the architecture."

    This, from the people who played version-tennis with the Trillian devs for over a year -- constantly trying to break any interoperability whatsoever?

    I guess one should be gracious that they've finally seen the light, but it'd be nice if they'd be gracious enough to admit having been asses for so long, instead of being condescending enough to think everyone would believe compatibility and interop was their idea in the first place and all along.

    Good grief.

    While ISA has languished, any number of Linux based appliances have provided plug and play firewalls, VPN endpoints, and more -- with far less pain. Microsoft's unfortunate situation is that there's been a heavy investment in such devices during a period when the need has been great and MSoft was conspicuously sitting on it's arse.
