Of course we're not just talking about hotmail. .NET and the Microsoft
passport system are a lot more than just hotmail.
Microsoft wants to use .NET and the passport transport system to let
end-users store and communicate banking information, credit card, information,
private correspondence, and on and on. ANd all you data "will live
securely on the Internet" (a direct MS quote). Combine that with this:
--

1. Use, modify, copy, distribute, transmit, publicly display, publicly

Not true. PostgreSQL has been kicking butt and taking names. PostgreSQL
is pretty fast now, plus is supports transactions. MySQL, specifically,
has scalability issues. I personally would recomment Post, that Borland
DB that I can never remember the name of, Oracle, Sybase, etc. Notice
that mSQL and MySQL never entered the list. Finding scalability issues
is these two small database is common and forced more than one conversion
to other databases.

That's interesing. Maybe someone on a DSL line could download the software
to view the licensing information that comes with that version of IE. If
it's like every other licence I've ever seen it expressly prohibits
redistribution.

I'd like to vote for that statement. IDE uses much more CPU no matter
what OS is in use. You also need to keep in mind that, last I heard,
there wasn't a drive around that could actually keep UDMA66 saturated
let alone UDMA100. In fact, last I heard, little was gained over
UDMA33 implementations. If a UDMA33/7200RPM drive is maxed out, you're
not going to be able to grab much more by increasing the transfer rate
when the drive is already maxed. What you do get is more shared
bandwith, but with two drive per chain, that means that UDMA66 should
have enough to drive two very fast IDE drives.
In short, if you need disk i/o, fibber, copper, and SCSI is the only
route to go. Rumors of serial ATA *may* change this, but for now, SCSI
on up is where performance is at.

There's a special hotrodded version of Windows NT that has support for it

What they do is play with the page tables. It's very much like the original
QEMM and LIM hacks to get more than 1M in 80x86 real mode under DOS: you
make system calls to overlay bits of high (>2G) memory in your 2G address
range.
I don't see how it'd be any faster than memory mapping the database and moving
the offset, unless the Win32 memory mapping is particularly inefficient.
