What users want from Microsoft | |

If customers had any doubt as to Microsoft's dominance in the server and desktop markets they need look no further than the latest numbers from IDC. The research showed Microsoft accounted for a 49% share of the 5.7 million new server operating system licenses shipped worldwide in 2001, an increase of 7% over the previous year. The nearest competitor was Linux at 25.7%. And Microsoft took home a whopping 95% of the desktop market, a 1% increase over the previous year. | ||

Those are pretty good numbers for Linux for only being in the mainstream for about 5-6 Years Now This post was edited by cto on Monday, November 04, 2002 at 12:26. |

What do I want from MS?
Faster Stronger Cheaper But I could say that about my car, too (and in fact, I do say that about my car). So, really, I'm in the same boat with MS that I am with any auto manufacturer, which is a good place, I think. |

NFS support? Nobody in their right mind still uses NFS, it's a nightmare to manage security on it.
As far as WMA, that ones simple... When you sell 100 million copies of the OS each year, $2 per copy in royalty fees to the MP3 guys adds up to some real money. It probably cost them only $50 million to develop media player by comparison. I don't know(or care I guess) about HighDAT or VCD. What's the difference? |

| Actually, it's HighMAT, and it maintains ISO compatability for non-HighMAT players. http://www.highmat.com |

linuxhippie - Really? Why don't you tell us how you did that.
NFS has historically assumed both servers and clients are physically secured. This changed with NFSv3 but it's not in widespread use. |

#12 -- But HighMAT is no different than when VCD or CD+G or PhotoCD or PictureCD, etc. were released. At that time, you couldn't directly plug and play those formats either.
In the mean time, like VCD, if you don't have a HighMAT player, you can still see the directory structure of the disc and play the content. Plus, AFAIK, with HighMAT, their is no restriction in the resolution or sound quality of the content. It comes down to preference. If it is something someone can use, they will buy it, if not, they won't. You'll have to buy new equipment if you want HD-DVD, DVD-Audio, or WMA. HighMAT is no different than other standards that have carried with them the need for new consumer electronics equipment. More than likely, this won't affect people with portable audio players or photo viewers that can traverse directories. The content isn't encoded in any way, it just carries a certain directory structure. The only HighMAT content I've created so far is a test movie with Windows Movie Maker 2. With that, the movie content is in the root directory. If this is the same with HighMAT audio discs, the music would also be in the root directory. If this is the case, it would not even affect players that didn't traverse directories. You may even be able to get native support with a firmware update. The HighMAT directory mainly contains playlist and menuing info/resources. This post was edited by n4cer on Monday, November 04, 2002 at 19:34. |
