Scratch

Here you will find older scratches, musings and other detritus that once were located on the front pages, but have now faded.

Filed away here to collect dust and cobwwwebs in perpetuity, links may break, facts may change and data may corrupt.

On occasion I may come down here to tidy, but for the most, I prefer to leave the past where it lies.

 

Microsoft Support

According to the Microsoft Road Map for 2003 Server, I can be expecting SP1 and 64 bit support in the first half of 2005, with the "R2" release coinciding with the first Longhorn beta in the second half.

Having studied software life-cycles, I realise that support can only be given for a finite period, before the technology becomes obsolete and in the case of o/s', no longer able to support newer software to its best potential. Given, this roadmap, and the fact 2003 Server is only 20 months old, I didn't realise Microsoft had moved this plan drastically forward.

And yes FYI, you can run a web/email/ftp server on a PC with such little processing power and RAM. Well I say run, more like sedate afternoon stroll.
