When Samaba 2.2 was released, I thought to myself, "when is Microsoft going
to screw this effort of making Linux intergrate easily into a Windows
network", and what do you know, 2 months later, there you have it. But of
course, MS will try to sugar coat the fact that they have just screwed
hundreds of customers by saying they "added features".

Unfortunately, far TOO MANY people are allowed to vote in the United States.
Many are intellectually and psychologically incompetant, and due to the
ramifications to taxation, criminal law, and government spending, shouldn't
be allowed anywhere NEAR the election process.
Thomas Jefferson had the right idea...even those born IN the United States
should be forced to take the same tests which immigrants do before having
the privileges of citizenship.

Thats the trade off, cross platform compatiibility, or tie yourself to one
platform. Personally, I would use OpenGL as it leaves more doors open when
that particular OS gones down the toilet, or if, at a later date you are
interested in porting from Windows to Linux, it will be made easier.

OpenStandards != Opensource
Openstandards, are standards that have been set down, such as LSB or POSIX
in which people can become compliant to. For example, UNIX 98 spec means, as
long as you program to those specs, porting to any UNIX, that is UNIX 98
compliant should be a breeze.
If Microsoft wants to earn the same respect as the likes of NCR, UNISYS or
Xerox, then maybe they should start porting IE to more than just Mac,
Windows and a few obscure UNIX's.

Personal use copies of what you ALREADY OWN is FREE in the United States.
[that is, if you buy a CD, and make a tape, you are free to do so, as
long as you're not playing the CD and the tape simultaneously.
