MSN 8 Asks Users to Pay for Some Online Services | |
|
||
| Time: 16:00 EST/21:00 GMT | News Source: Gartner | Posted By: Byron Hinson | ||
|
Microsoft's decision to move MSN to a partial for-pay model reasonably extends the trend in which content and application providers seek financial legitimacy by countering the popular mid-1990s assertion that information ("content" is the more common term in 2002) "wants to be free." The precipitous decline in competition among Internet information and interaction hubs makes the for-pay business model more defensible than ever — the critical issue here. | ||

Hey are we at a record yet??
Well anyway. If you get the UXtheme.dll from http://www.tgtsoft.com There are tons of themes out there. and as I said Rhodium is the best:) But you have red themes and green themes and themes based on games Halo for example. but it still has the look and feel of windows.;) Or you can buy the software and you get the ui for handleing several themes. :) Of course there is http://www.stardock.com which gives their attempt to deliver what was promised by Cairo:) Maybe in Longhorn we will finally get the UI we were promised in 1995:) El |

Oh, and I remember what I was going to talk about earliar.
MSN 8 stinks from the standpoint of it being a dumbed down version of a email client and IE. And the Email client isn't even a full client. el |

My goodness... 300 posts!
I think that's a record? Hehe, start talking about people's money, and the Poopie hits the fan :) TL |

Dangit, I just bought this fan. Now I have to get another one. :-)
Congrats on going over 300. I'll check in again later to see if it's still going. daz, the pic's in the mail :-) |

| El, I was wondering about that - the quality of the browser and email clients. I somehow doubt Microsoft would make anything more compelling than I already have in IE6 and Outlook 2002. |

Bob: yes, and it's too friggen hard to navigate through the comments.... very bad interface.
First off, you can't get to the past page without first going to the second page, and then on top of that, you can only go through one page at a time, rather than being able to select the page number, and then on top of that, somone on the last page may refer to a comment on some other page, and you have to go around looking for it. Time for a change, I think. |

| I am so game, but we'd better make it fast. I have an early morning meeting with a client tomorrow. |

| CPU - I've been saying for months that this interface should change. I even wrote an ASP.NET server control for threads an offerred it up at no cost in early July. For the most part the interface works. When you have 13 pages of comments, though, things get a little difficult to follow. I must say that it hasn't been too difficult for me, but that's because about 1/3 of the comments are mine. Lol! |

El, on the surface and in light of the current programming tools, a .NET browser (I'm assuming you mean web browser when you speak of browsing client) if designed correctly would offer a web browser control for use in other .NET applications without COM interop. As far as controls go, with the .NET desktop apps I've designed and written, I try to stay way from ActiveX and stick with native .NET controls.
Once again with the .NET email client, you'd have the same benefits of having a COM email client (like Outlook 2002), but without the COM interop. Thanks to the code access security of the .NET framework, the patched up security we have on COM clients (like Outlook) would not be needed. Rather than say "if you try to send an email via code, I'll pop up a message box", Outlook's .NET assembly would say "Does this application have the right to send automated emails?". In like manner you could limit the access to the address book and any other feature. Finally, code context would determine whether or not a particular function should be executed. Those are the first things to come to mind. |

Double post! Here's an idea, if an HTTP 500 is going to happen then the transaction of writing to the database should abort! This post was edited by BobSmith on Tuesday, September 24, 2002 at 02:00. |

| #298 boola Why on earth did you read this thread? Did you incorrectly assume that because there were so many posts that somebody had said something worthwhile? Lol! Sorry to disappoint you. I just kind of figured that since we were already halfway to the goal in such a short time, that we may as well go for the gusto and bury the record. |
| #220 By 1845 (12.254.162.111) at 9/24/2002 2:19:41 AM |
| Is there are a record for most posts in a single thread? |
| #221 By 1845 (12.254.162.111) at 9/24/2002 2:20:07 AM |
| how about for most consecutive posts? |
| #222 By 1845 (12.254.162.111) at 9/24/2002 2:20:51 AM |
| Um, for the most number of posts in a given timespan, say a day, a week, a month? |
| #223 By 1845 (12.254.162.111) at 9/24/2002 2:21:32 AM |
| for most off topic posts in a thread? |
| #224 By 1845 (12.254.162.111) at 9/24/2002 2:22:10 AM |
| for most consecutive posts without breaking TOS? |
| #225 By 1845 (12.254.162.111) at 9/24/2002 2:22:39 AM |
| That last one, by the way, is one sodajerk would never win. Tee hee. |
