News: Zune's 'Y2K' Glitch a Repeat Performance

On New Years Eve the 30 GB model from 2006 of Microsoft's disappointing Zune handsets started trying to roll over into 2009 and failed miserably at it.

Competition was dead: to begin with. There is no doubt whatever about that. The register of its demise was signed by the IRS, the DOJ, NASDAQ, and the White House. Gates signed it.

XPT: An History

The XPT is a collection of developer utilities. They were all developed by developers for developers, most often for personal use. And they just happen to be extremely well written. As the code is being used all the time (bootstrap) it is consistently and continually gone over, honed and tweaked. After all, the developers want to use these programs themselves, so they want the best possible performance and functionality available.

As developers normally run extremely heavy systems, an accent has always been on 'lean and mean'. These additional tools must use as little disk space and as little RAM as possible. And as the program authors are real developers and not amateurs trying their hand at writing programs, as they deal with operating system and coding contingencies on a daily and even hourly basis, you can know that the code is savvy to a degree not often found elsewhere.

Bill Gates leaves computing behind on 1 July of this year. Mostly. In but a few days. Most people will not lament his departure - they'll applaud it. But nothing much will change at Microsoft: Bill's goons have long ago established the mindset that will continue to hold sway over the corporation and the industry.

Bill wants to devote more time to 'fighting viruses in Africa' and has his beady eyeballs on a Nobel Peace Prize [yes you read that right] all the while he's not particularly concerned about the viruses his software inflicts on the computing world. That's a rather unique personality to say the least; it's not something to admire.
