Leaner Longhorn From Microsoft
Leaner Longhorn From Microsoft
12/30/2004 02:26 PMPartners first heard whispers about Longhorn, the innovative
next-generation of Windows with a completely new kernel, way back in
2002 or earlier. It was supposed to be in beta in 2003. Didn't happen.
This year, Microsoft finally 'fessed up about its Longhorn travails,
and in the process unveiled some significant technical compromises it
would make to get the operating system out the door for its official
release date of late 2006 (for the client) and late 2007 (for the
server).
The compromise in question is the decision to take Longhorn to market
sans its most heralded, new feature, WinFS (Windows File System).
WinFS is a unified file system that would sport innovative search
capabilities that make retrieving an array of desktop system file
types much simpler. Apparently, developing WinFS is anything but
simple, however, and certainly not easy enough to do by the first
release of Longhorn. To soften the blow, Microsoft has promised to
deliver two other key Longhorn components, the Web
services/communications subsystem Indigo and the graphics subsystem
Avalon, in the first iteration of the OS. In addition to that, Indigo
and Avalon will also be released as individual components for use on
existing Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 machines. The intent is to
let developers and integrators at least get started with some elements
of the technology, and it's a decision that many partners have
applauded.

The latest (2002) data on
foreign aid is just out, and the subject of the biennial Reality of Aid
report from a global consortium of aid agencies including CARE and
OXFAM. In real dollar terms, the gap between income per capita and
foreign aid per capita in the developed world continues to grow. And
the gap between military spending and foreign aid spending is growing
even faster.

And the news behind the figures is even
worse:
- Much of the foreign aid money represented by the tiny
green
bars above never leaves the donor country -- it goes to pay for
activities 'related' to the foreign country that take place at
home.
- Much of the foreign aid money is earmarked for donor
priorities, or subject to ideological restrictions (like the Bush
Regime's prohibition on foreign aid money going to agencies that
counsel birth control or abortion), so it doesn't go where the need is
greatest or where it would achieve the greatest good.
- An
increasing share of 'foreign aid' money is actually
going to 'anti-terrorism' activities that provide increased security
for donor country nationals, rather than benefiting the country's
citizens.
- Donor nations have great latitude to define what
constitutes "foreign aid" and have recently been using more generous
and inclusive definitions of the term.
- Less and less of the money goes to the world's
poorest and
most destitute nations, and more and more to third world nations in
which the donor country has a financial interest.
- The
countries with the most crippling foreign debt burdens tend to receive
the least foreign aid.
- While the green foreign aid data above
is from 2002, the red military spending data is from 2000, before these countries dramatically
increased military spending to combat terrorism.
There are two ways to fight terrorism: Fight the symptom (terrorist
violence) militarily, or fight the disease (poverty, disease, lack of
infrastructure, and hopelessness) through humanitarian aid. The charts
above make it clear which option we have chosen. We should not be
surprised at the consequences of our miserliness, or our poor
judgement.
