was checking out this webpage for an interesting story on more lethal blaster 
variants expected, when i noticed a strange ad on the right panel. it says:
"unix like reliability. without unix-level budget.
do more.
with  less.

windows server 2003.'

er . . . unix-like is a qualifying statement, does it mean nearly there but 
not quite there?
unix-level budget? i suppose its not free-of-cost as in gnuLinux? har har!

the do more with less is a very close take on an apple slogan of the 
mid-nineties when they strongly pitched mac os 7 or something against win95 
and mac against 486 generally.

interesting ad. oh! and it promises you can 'Try It Free' as well. this is 
where RMS usually steps in and says free as in free cigarettes to children in 
schools, or something to that effect.

but seriously, i wonder how many of you have noted that all the disparate 
operating systems born in the early eighties, are actually de-forking and 
merging back into *nix its as if *nix was, *nix is, and *nix will be.

eternal like the sanskrit of operating sytems.
