What you describe is basically open source ERP exchange protocols, which will never happen, as enterprise ERP software is designed to lock companies in for generations of maintenance contracts. We were supposed to get all this with the pr

Win95 was the OS/2 workstation killer. OS/2 Lan Server was the direct competition to Windows NT. When NT 4.0 hit (with the hardware discovery and Win95 interface) that was it for Lan Server. OS/2 Lan Server was a dream serve

I completely agree with this. I have direct experience in good will to my users on my businesses. I completely removed advertising from one platform, and for my paying customers, I have made the conscious decision to not automatically char

It's social media dude. We've not talking about access to clean water or some other basic human condition where you are trading your privacy for a basic human right. Yes, you are damn right I'm calling out some of you as h
