In between powering down today and preparing for Tuesday's landing attempt, they'll be taking care of some housekeeping and perhaps finding more time to be looking out the windows.

Nicholas Patrick

Currently there is no redistribution of the Windows Server operating system.

James Ni

Apple's Boot Camp had nothing to do with this, either, as some forum people have apparently decided. That being said, lucky you if you have an Intel Mac: you can boot to Windows to keep playing.

Ryan Gordon

We're not obligated to license this source code. But one thing is perfectly clear. If you're not able to understand these protocols, the source code is the ultimate documentation. It is the DNA of the Windows server operating system.

Brad Smith

If you do not know what is on your network, if you cannot at least estimate the hourly, monthly or yearly cost of downtime, if you do not know how long it takes to recover from a security outage, if you cannot answer questions about the extent of your company's license compliance, then you cannot truly evaluate whether Linux , Windows or Unix is right for your business.

Laura Didio

After we released the Intel-based Macs we had a lot of customer requests asking if it's possible to run Windows on those machines. We decided we would help it along by creating Boot Camp.

Brian Croll

Our message is that Windows Me is a timely upgrade. Our focus between now and the end of year is really about communicating the great products that are available today.

John Frederiksen

With Windows Mobile, you can talk direct from Exchange to a mobile device with no server and no [extra] cost.

John Starkweather

It was horrible. Trying to beat down the panic was the worst of it. I'm sitting there in my wheelchair and suddenly water starts coming through the doors, through the windows. Clinging to the side of my roof and a tree -- I would not wish that on my worst enemy.

William Morgan

It looks like it's coming straight for us in Dominica, ... We're going to start preparing the hotel tomorrow by boarding up the windows and collecting food and water.

David Armour

With our Windows Vista product line, we've streamlined and tailored our product line-up to provide what our customers want for today's computing needs.

Mike Sievert

They learn about Windows and how to turn on the computer and hook it up when they get home. They learn to send and receive emails and how to write a word document.

Doug Chapman

The critics say it's a bad show, but there ain't no critic who can climb into people's windows and turn off their sets.

Sherwood Schwartz

Pella's exclusive Designer Series windows and patio doors help keep your home cleaner, easier to maintain, and also provide superior energy performance.

Sherri Gillette

We've done work in Windows 2000 to address this and prevent it from happening.

Greg Sullivan

I don't think Windows is more or less secure than some other operating system, ... I think that there are technologies from Microsoft that are good; there are others that are not good; and there are others that still need to be refined and improved, but that are still very much in demand.

Russ Cooper

It's too early to say whether this will start a trend that will break down some of these windows.

Matt Bond

I remember times riding when you'd pull up to a car and the people would roll the windows up and look the other way. That's all changed.

Robert Terone

Five years ago juveniles were being tried for shoplifting, now we have murders, breaking out car windows ... it all ties into gang activity. Six to eight months ago, a juvenile I represented said he wanted to be in a gang, so he robbed an elderly woman.

Jerry Jordan

Long term, Windows Live services have to reach beyond the PC. They have to move across devices. This (acquisition) just kind of kicks things into high gear.

Brooke Richardson

It was the first game of the qualifying for us and well we can take a lot from it , like I was talking to one of the guys from TNS about my internet connection at home and he said the reason I sometimes can't get on is because I am running the wrong browser with Windows 95 and he suggested I update to Windows XP.

Jamie Carragher

It's very difficult when you have as low a market share as they do to get dealers interested. A dealer has to sell a Mac, whereas he doesn't have to sell a Windows machine, since the Windows machine is a known quantity.

Bruce Tognazzini

Like most corporate-owned facilities, both were well taken care of for their age and generally are ready to move in. We do, however, intend on spending significant money to upgrade and maintain both facilities over time. Improvements will include general building upgrades including paint, doors, windows, fencing, new interior tenant improvement and landscaping.

Matt Marks

Organizations continue to view Internet Explorer (the browser) and Windows (the operating system) as distinct products.

Glenn Weadock

It sits on an east-west axis, so the sun comes in all day long through floor to ceiling windows.

Barbara Candee

At this point the complete solution is available only on the Windows platform. However, we listen to our customers. If they tell us they want our solution on the Mac, we'll strongly consider the request for future versions.

Simon Hayhurst

The biggest issue of all is going to be for end users to understand that when they install Windows on their computer, they'll be responsible for the support of that.

George Swords

Are we going to build a house without doors and windows, or are we going to put doors and windows in the dang thing so it can be used?

Bryan Anderson

We found there are quite a large number of people who were sold on the Mac and wanted to move over, but they had one or two applications that were keeping them from making the move. The second group was interested in the Mac but worried if they made the move over, (they) would be leaving something behind. The ability to run Windows would take those barriers down.

Brian Croll

With the introduction of these new Windows Marketplace Feeds, average users will find it easy to stay up-to-date with Windows. Better yet, there's no middle man to go through; all the hardware and software update information comes directly from Microsoft. That's a true win-win situation.

Chris Pirillo

Overall, the size of the Unix installed base appears to be flattening because of slowing unit volume growth and recent migration efforts within the worldwide Unix installed base. On a unit basis, Windows becomes the top migration platform overall, with 45 percent of these migrating footprints. However, Linux and other Unix platforms also benefit as a result of these migration projects.

Matt Eastwood

Internet Explorer is not a stand-alone browser because the relevant integration occurred at the design stage. Internet Explorer is an integral feature (of Windows '95), like a shutter in a camera or a transmission in a car.

John Warden

The beetles don't cause damage because they utilize already existing openings, such as the cracks of housing windows and doors.

Phil Nixon

Yes, Daniel Robbins has decided to leave Microsoft to pursue his passion for software development with an independent software vendor where he will be focused on building in .Net on Windows. This move also takes Daniel and his family back to their hometown community of Albuquerque?We thank Daniel for his contribution to Microsoft and wish him the best of luck on his new job.

Bill Hilf

These windows have had hundreds of people look through their panes. They have come from churches, ranch and farm houses, Victorian homes, and even a barn or two.

Jeanie Cooper

Everyone worries that they're going to build a windowless place -- but with 3,000 slot machines, there's going to be a lot of space without windows. Come on! It's too big! It's a shed!

Anne Swager

This will expose the Rhapsody experience to users right on their Web browser. What this will do is give users on the Mac, Windows and certain distributions of Linux the essence of the Rhapsody experience.

Karim Meghji

Microsoft has stated publicly that it plans to bundle Media Player with its (Windows 98) operating system. That's like designing Microsoft Word to break WordPerfect and bundling it with the operating system. Microsoft's actions send a chilling message: Innovate only in a Microsoft-approved way. What Microsoft is doing is wrong and must be stopped.

Robert Glaser

An interesting finding about Oracle's results is that not only did it have a strong presence in our survey, but it had a strong presence across platforms, including at least one No. 1 position in a top ten list on each of the UNIX, Linux, and Windows platforms. It's also important to mention Oracle's strong showing in both OLTP and data warehousing applications.

Robert Dorin

It comes out at sort of this strange time in the company's product evolution, the last gasp of the DOS line and Windows 98.

Dwight Davis

Our customers will have a feature-complete Windows Vista sooner in their hands than any previous Windows release.

Amitabh Srivastava

We are hoping in Windows Vista to dramatically drive this number down so most tasks that users need to complete, they'll be able to compete as standard users. User account control will be one of the most valuable areas for enterprises.

Brad Goldberg

We think this is the first actual non-IE browser to be included on any [Windows] PC since the 1990s.

Andrew Weinstein

They want the enterprise to have excellent Windows NT support, but they don't necessarily want to be the ones to provide it, ... Microsoft does want that involvement and to have more account control over their larger enterprise customers.

Michael Silver

People are like stained glass windows, they sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when darkness sets in, their true beauty is only seen if there is a light within.

Elisabeth Kubler Ross

My favorite place is Central Park because you never know what you're going to find there. I also like that when I look out the windows of surrounding hotels, it's seems like I'm looking out over a forest.

Haley Joel Osment

About 50 percent of heat gain in homes is because of the sun hitting the windows. Anything you can do to create shade on the outside is seven times more effective than shading from the inside.

Tom Hines

The thing we learned with large customers is one size does not fit all. Some want to run on mainframe, Unix, Linux, or Windows. It's hard to get a census of exactly what they want to run on.

Tim Kennedy

Despite the potential that we see for Citrix beyond the year 2000, we believe that Windows 2000 adoption rates and sales force transition issues could prevent the company from gaining interim traction in its core markets.

Wendell Laidley

As much as 80 percent of designers focused on Web and interactive design it turns out are on Windows workstations. There is the mystique of the Mac in the design community but not so in the Web interactive community.

Forest Key

I don't think they really need Windows XP distribution, ... They already have deals with the four largest PC manufacturers, and that will give them the means of getting onto the desktop anyway, without having to do a deal with Microsoft.

Arthur Newman

Thirty seconds later, and we would all be jumping out of windows if we could have.

John Papierowicz

We have said for some time that Windows 2000 will have a slow ramp because companies take time to test and deploy new operating systems. Windows 2000 is basically a second half of 2000 story.

Andrew Roskill

About 4 percent of total energy used in the United States is lost through windows. Heated windows almost completely stop the loss. It costs to heat window panes, but an overall energy bill could be reduced because you're able to lower the thermostat.

David Waller

They eliminate half the cleaning because you don't have storm windows to wash. Energy-wise I know what the books tell me. The books say 25 to 30 percent, but that's with everything being identical.

Steven Bennett

Thousands of lights were burning on the green branches, and gaily-colored pictures, such as she had seen in the shop-windows, looked down upon her. The little maiden stretched out her hands towards them when--the match went out. The lights of the Christmas tree rose higher and higher, she saw them now as stars in heaven . . .

Hans Christian Andersen

The tanning business is dominated by independents, and many of them are single-store owners. They're not in good locations. They still use handmade signs in the windows.

Steve Berkman

Most of the customers we see at conferences seem to have older systems and no intention of upgrading to the hardware requirements they would need to do that. They tend to build outward with their own Windows boxes.

David Bishop

Windows 2000 will be a driver of multiprocessing. It has better driver support and better scaling to more processors.

Jim Gargen

Nothing prepared us for the scope of devastation down there. In the New Orleans area, just about anywhere you looked, you saw people on rooftops that needed help — or people waving things out of windows that needed help.

Dan Taylor

We are very pleased to have ADERANT as part of our Technology Adoption Program for Windows Workflow Foundation, ... ADERANT's efforts to tailor workflow solutions built on Windows Workflow Foundation will help ensure that law, accounting, and other professional services firms increase their competitive advantage.

Scott Woodgate

Many organizations today have multi-platform environments that are complex to manage. Together, Microsoft and Quest simplify IT by offering a broad solution that helps to manage Windows and non-Windows environments.

David Waugh

It's not just about IE, [but] about IE and Windows enabling a very easy experience to have subscriptions. The subscription experience [is] exposed at a very high level inside the browser.

Dean Hachamovitch

The Kerberos security is a lot more effective [than what's in Windows NT 4.0].... The ability to quickly and securely link to outside business partners will be very important.

Steve Sommer

What I find bizarre is that there's still all this focus on the WMF [Windows Metafile] bug.

Mark Litchfield

Rita chose the Brownson House because she passed the house every day going to work and when the sun was shinning on the windows it seemed to have a presence.

Mary Rosza

This will really help a lot of folks make up their mind whether to move over to the Mac. We think this makes the Mac even more appealing for all those Windows users who are considering the switch.

Brian Croll

This is the way virus writers can upgrade the infected machines. It's like [Microsoft's] Windows update for viruses.

Mikko Hypponen

For the first time in recent years, [many] firms now have a single version of the Windows operating system to support. The prospect of beginning another migration next year isn't appealing to them.

Simon Yates

It is especially around Christmas time when people have the opportunities to look through your windows to see what you've got. If they see a lot of gifts under the tree, sometimes that's an incentive for these people to take advantage of the situation.

Dennis Martin

What you're seeing from a promotional standpoint is Microsoft trying to accelerate revenue by putting some excitement in the NT marketplace. They are clearly sending the message to corporations that NT 4.0 is the way they should be going, not Windows 98.

Chris Letocq

In many cases, Windows NT has been brought in to work alongside the operating environments that were already in place in the mid-1990s -- supporting the organization's application portfolios rather than replacing them.

Dan Kuznetsky

Windows 2000 is the first operating system shipped worldwide with 128-bit encryption.

Graham Brant

Microsoft has missed an opportunity to show leadership in mobile security and have the market declare that the company has made Windows Mobile 5.0 secure.

Nick Ingelbrecht

I think it is a serious problem for Microsoft, because people start looking for alternatives. Part of the reason Windows is attacked so much is because it is such a large part of the market.

Michael Cherry

I was staying in a hotel on Canal Street, on the 16th floor, and I opened up the windows and it was just black outside.

Rod Hundley

Apple...should enjoy a less competitive market for another holiday season against an aging Windows offering.

Richard Farmer

I've added e-books, games and my time and billing system, and installed custom applications. There are a number of development tools that use the Windows Mobile platform.

David Cieslak

I'm modeling it as if Windows 95 were selling at the rate it was already selling at. [Windows 98] staves off a potential drop-off in sales. But nobody expects any spike in earnings or any substantial drop-off.

Tom Hensel

We are excited to forge a partnership with Microsoft. Microsoft's hosted products and services on the Windows platform provide customers with operational benefits that enable them to easily produce cost effective websites. It is no surprise that Windows customers are some of the most loyal in the industry.

Jeff Stibel

Windows 98 was designed and developed in the mid-1990s when engineers didn't take the Internet into consideration seriously. Subsequently, it is vulnerable to online hackers.

Kwon Chan

Every holiday season there are the top five hot items, and one of those items this year would have been a Windows Vista PC. Now that's off the list and it leaves room for, maybe, a wide-screen television.

Samir Bhavnani

All the windows were blacked out from heavy smoke conditions. There was dark smoke. The house was essentially buttoned up tight.

Jim Flaherty

People who are making investments on .Net Framework 2.0 development will reap the benefits of a simplified deployment situation with Windows Server 2003 R2.

Brian Goldfarb

People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within.

Elisabeth Kubler Ross

All the windows in the house are rotted. Windows will be replaced. Doors will be replaced.

Janet Mintzer

They were very lucky, because they were surrounded by water, which protected them from the looters and the gangs. They heard shots outside the windows.

Serge Denis

These special builds [of Windows Communication Foundation and Windows Workflow Foundation serve as] the green light for customers to deploy these technologies.

Ari Bixhorn

It's a bit buggy. There are places I can click that just open blank windows, or where nothing happens that I can see.

Stefan Berteau

This functionality is backed up by Windows Live features like centralized storage and it can be managed from anywhere. We've got Web-based activity reports so that you can keep an eye on what your family is doing online from any location.

Alan Packer

The ones that really matter are those in Windows.

Gary Schare

Instead of a 'one-size-fits-all' approach, Novell Linux Desktop can be customized to provide the right fit across different workstations in the enterprise, ... So businesses finally have a secure and cost-effective alternative to Windows that serves the customer's ROI rather than a vendor's proprietary licensing program.

David Patrick

Many companies tout their windows as 'hurricane resistant,' but not all windows meet prescribed standards. That's why it's important for consumers to make sure that the windows have been tested. It's one thing to claim that your windows withstand hurricane-force winds, it's another to have testing behind that claim.

Bob Maceda

While there obviously will be future Windows products, we cannot confirm specifics at this time. There are future products in development.

Jim Cullinan

After so many years of unfulfilled promises to the community to reduce their stench, we are thrilled to have specific commitments in writing. We hope to see big improvements soon so we can have our windows open again.

Cindy Carter

Well, developers do want to touch a lot of customers. We have to make our platform very popular in order for them to do that. If we make their jobs easier, then they'll be more likely to stay on the Windows platform.

Jim Allchin

Air conditioning reduces fuel efficiency 15 to 20 percent. Opening the windows is actually better for fuel efficiency.

Alex Fowler

We're extremely excited about the opportunities with this alliance. We're at an age right now as we move to the new economy where we really are seeing the intersection of the Internet with robust enterprise solutions that will be driven from the Windows 2000 platform.

Joe Forehand

It's only for those partners who are authorized to sell our enterprise-type products, so this isn't really for the lower-end Windows-based anti-virus and backup type products.

Julie Parrish

Windows XP is designed to bring more choice and options to consumers, not fewer, in stark contrast to AOL Time Warner's closed, proprietary strategy.

Vivek Varma

Unlike some competing solutions that are using proprietary solutions requiring software developers to maintain a separate code base for this platform, our solution will empower customers to use most of their Windows standard applications on the go.

Steffen Hellmold

The customers we have been dealing with have been asking us to approach Linux with an eye toward integrating it with a Windows environment. Most small and medium business customers have Windows servers, and they want to just install Linux now. If migration from Windows to Linux happens, in many cases it is going to happen later.

Scott Handy

Our product is more used to filter Windows viruses than actual Linux viruses.

Ron O'brien

Some of the things we've seen are very familiar to Windows, but now [they are] n Mac OS X.

Ed Skoudis

It is God in the house when the curtains lift gently at the windows, and a young child sucks his itching gums. We do not understand the mysteries of God. God the winter. Summer, Septembers. Moody dark tones of fathers dying. The splash and laughter. Children playing.

Ellease Southerland

Microsoft could have produced a version of Windows 98 without Web browsing in a way that did not adversely affect the non-Web browsing features of Windows 98.

Edward Felten

In addition to his works in watercolor and other mediums, Art has also been responsible for the design of stained-glass windows and tapestries for installation in various synagogues. His role will be to select which entry is named Best of Show and choose works that will receive various other awards.

Ed Laudano

For example, (with) a PDA, if (the manufacturer) can adopt Windows CE .Net then it can provide the connectivity to transfer Web services.

Eddie Wu

Today's college graduates take IM in the office for granted. If you protect your email systems but ignore IM, it's like locking the doors but leaving your windows open. Your security initiatives have to blanket both IM and email.

Ed Golod

Rain not only produces all this water, it causes people to close their doors and lock their windows. That basically locks in the humidity.

Ed Garcia

This is about growth, ... There are millions of people around the world who want that familiar Windows experience.

Ed Colligan

It's a fact that a large majority of businesses around the world use a Microsoft-based infrastructure across their IT assets. And many of those companies simply aren't open to products that use another OS....We can either answer that marketplace demand with a Windows-based product, or we can walk away from that business.

Ed Colligan

It wasn't very long ago you'd never trust your most critical enterprise applications to run on Windows. Those years are fairly long gone now, even though they're only a few years behind us.

Fred Taylor

There are also computers with Windows that stick.

Esther Dyson

Generally, what we've seen is the vast majority of open source software still focuses on the Linux space, but the amount of open source that will run on Windows is increasing.

Eric Kuzmack

We buy applications, not platforms. If the applications don't run on Windows 2000, then we won't buy it. Just because a new operating system is out doesn't mean we are going to buy it. The third-party apps will need to support it.

Eric Kuzmack

While Windows 2000 is important for the enterprise market, there is not a mad rush to adopt it. The urgency isn't there because the platforms that exist today work.

Eric Klein

The Commission's ruling two years ago was an excellent first step, but as a second step it needs to set a price differential between the two versions of Windows.

Erik Simon

Even at the United Nations, where legend has it that the building was designed so that there could be no corner offices, the expanse of glass in individual offices is said to be a dead giveaway as to rank. Five windows are excellent, one window not so great.

Enid Nemy

Windows are as essential to office prestige as Christmas is to retailing.

Enid Nemy
