It’s almost impossible to find a copy of 2003 these days. Microsoft is pushing 2008 really hard.

Maybe it’s on account of lost money where Vista is concerned. We’ve pretty well decided Vista is essentially like Windows ME attempting to be OSX. And failing.

Does that mean I have achieved the impossible?

You know, she really did have a hall monitor complex back then. I'm just sayin'..

Heh. That didn't start with the Hobbit Hole, I'll assure you. :-)

But in all fairness... She's a better than average hall monitor. :-)

Yeah, 2008 ain't nowhere near ready yet... it's doing "unexpected" things on our test servers. It looks like Vista, too, which I don't like. :-/

Heh...I’m thinkin’ you don’t have 2003 Server.

It’s mostly just that the retailers aren’t keeping many copies in stock. We wanted to upgrade an existing server a few weeks back, and boss called a couple of retailers before finding a copy, ‘cause they didn’t want to stock up on it now.

Okay, I’m looking for a picture I saw today and can’t find again.

It’s one of the moonbat rallies with a sign saying Bush should be shot.

Anybody have an idea where I saw that? I can’t seem to search up the right thread. And it may not have been on FR that I saw it...

I see 2008 as Vista, Server Edition.

We typically don’t put anything on production boxes until its been out in the wild for maybe three years. By then all the obvious bugs have been pretty well worked out.

It may be hard to find retail, but you can always buy a license from a reseller somewhere. Got an MSDN subscription?

*shudder*

We don't have a subscription. Want...don't have.

We ended up finding a copy, but it took awhile.

The tax for bein' behind the times, I guess. ;-)

They kept playing this clip today on the local news of this woman in Portland talking about Obama coming. She said “It’s exciting! For those of us too young to remember, Obama is our Kennedy.”

I kept thinking... Man... I bet he doesn’t want you to say ~that~. :~\
