News and Observations
You ain't seen nothing yet?
An economist argues that the tech boom which recently went bust isn't over. Observing that the tech boom was 'merely one in a series of technological revolutions that have been occurring since the mid-18th Century, he notes that each (industrial, railway, steel and electricity, and manufacturing) has spawned a stock market bubble that burst - before the really serious money was made by the vendors (and investors) left standing.
What? No Windows??
Perish the thought.
Time To Call Microsoft's Bluff. Microsoft has threatened that if it is forced to remove Internet Explorer from Windows
2000 and Windows XP, it will have to take those operating systems off the market
and will be unable to produce any new versions. [osOpinion]
