IOKIYAR, I believe.
Well, no, damn I am behind the times. US Senator Sinema (D-Colorado) having a summer job as a winery intern hardly raised any eyebrows.

Vista should have been marketed as a preview of NT6. The fact that it’s called Vista makes me think that someone at some point in the process had a similar thought.
@ryanc
Yea, I do agree. It realized many promises from NT 3.x and 4.0.
I never really used the horrors of 95/98/me, having gotten a taste of NT. And having access to registration codes for the enter-pricy from work helped.

Weeeeeel, my preference would be Windows for Workgroups 3.11 for all the newfangled networking. Winsock included!
Windows NT 4.0 was also a favorite.
I concede my opinions are often bad but I won’t feel bad. This is Truth.
Edited to add, I was one of the freaks trying to run 2000/xp as a non-admin user at MSFT in the early 00s.

I went to Dreamforce once (my job was mucking with HSMs deep in the bowels of the company, as far as possible from sales).
I was genuinely afraid the concentration of salesmanship was going to cause a bullshit-singularity in spacetime. I lasted about 40 minutes before clawing my way out of there.
@jalefkowit Does “Slate pitch” still mean overdone contrarianism?
@jalefkowit @glyph Interesting you think they could be duped in this. I haven’t actually read it all, but it just sounds like one of those situations where everyone knows, but they keep to an agreed cover story.
I’m sure they think they have built a perfect setup. But they’re not the smartest guys and things can get out of hand. I’m sure they are not the only ones on that particular payroll. So, interesting times ahead, possibly.
