Nah, ten thousand distributed fingers incorporating a variety of task-appropriate materials. The real potential advantage to this is that Google has been in the OS business for years; all their clever online stuff depends on their having this massively distributed computing ability, and it didn't exist so they had to build it. As a result, and *unlike* Microsoft, they actually understand software engineering and management large projects. (Remember that Bill wrote a basic interpreter _himself_. A righteous accomplishment for the time, but not something that teaches you large project management...) -- Graydon -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
