The rise and fall of the Wintel empire
08/05/2004 08:50 AMThat's how one analyst explained the recurring product delays at
Microsoft, and the principle can describe similar problems at chip
giant Intel. Instead of waking up sick and washed out, employees at
these companies are seemingly dawdling a bit because of past successes
and a hazy outlook. You can imagine the scene: You're a product
manager for Windows. You wake up one day and hear analysts and
competitors saying that Linux will begin to creep onto desktops. At
the same time, the Linux desktop may not happen for several years.
Your financial outlook is better than you ever expected back in
college. At the same time, you also see few great opportunities for
rapid internal advancement or lateral placement.

Get Ready for a Windows Fall
05/05/2004 09:50 AMMicrosoft is planning a big fall, Windows marketing-wise. Sounds like
XP SP2 and the Tablet PC "Lonestar" release will be launched in
September, as part of a "Protect Your PC" campaign. And a slew of
other Windows products, ranging from the "Symphony" version of XP
Media Center, to the new 64-bit version of Windows XP, will go live in
October.

07/19/2004 09:36 PMLauren is going on a
trip in a few days, and we thought that
free videophoning
would be nice to have while she’s on the road. She’s got a decent
IBM Thinkpad X31 which has FireWire, and AIM is supposed to work with
iChat A/V, so this should be possible. You can’t plug an iSight
into Windows, so she got an “iBot” FireWire cam from
Orange Micro. The Thinkpad has a
FireWire port, but it’s a passive four-wire that doesn’t provide
power, so she had to get a powered hub (this is already too much
work). Then she fired up AIM and... no luck, it didn’t recognize the
iBot; it did, however, let us audio chat back and forth. Windows XP
saw the camera just fine and you could see the video. So we checked
the iBot with the Mac, it worked perfectly with iChat. First, she
spent some time on the Web Site; no help, but there was a phone
number. She called it, pressed the number for tech support and a
recording said “for tech support send email to support@.” So she
sent the email and got back an auto-responder saying “for tech
support go to the Website.” So she tried it with Yahoo Messenger,
and it worked in webcam mode, incredibly slow, but then there was no
audio chat. So we plugged in our big hand-held videocam and it also
didn’t get recognized by AIM. So I’m not sure whether IBM sucks or
XP sucks or AIM sucks or the iBot sucks. But it’s the iBot that’s
going back to the store tomorrow. (Lauren would happily get a
PowerBook except for, like a high proportion of the female population,
she has sensitive fingertips and finds a touchpad massively
unpleasant. Earth to Apple...) Sometimes I hate computers.

Linux Management Remains Overlooked by
Wintel Trade Press
Linux Management Remains Overlooked by
Wintel Trade Press
08/06/2004 09:23 AMthe Wintel trade press is waiting to get their slice of the desktop
Linux vendors' marketing dollars before they'll connect the dots and
recognize the value of thin clients. InfoWorld believes “Linux [is]
nearly ripe for the enterprise desktop” but “for now,
administrators are applying mass changes to deployed desktops via
home-brew methods”, so it’s not really ready yet. They seem quite
insistent on this; “ Manageability is a must for Linux to succeed on
the enterprise desktop”, they say, making “obvious comparisons to
Microsoft Windows -- including Active Directory, Group Policy objects,
and Microsoft Exchange”. Oh dear. These sorts of comments make
experienced Linux/Un*x folk smile sadly and turn back to their screen,
happy to be as far away from Microsoft’s products as possible.

Republic or Empire
Republic or Empire
08/19/2004 09:40 AMGary Hart: The New Caesars. The United States cannot be
simultaneously republic and empire. For evidence, see Rome (circa 65
B.C.). We salute the flag of the United States of America "and the
Republic for which it stands." Since the time of the Greek
city-states, republics have shared certain immutable qualities: civic
virtue or citizen participation, popular sovereignty, resistance to
corruption (by special interests) and a sense of the common good.
Empires consolidate power in the hands of the few; seek expanded
influence, by force if necessary; export centralized administrations
to foreign lands; dictate terms to lesser powers, and manage foreign
occupied peoples for their own political and commercial
advantage.
