Microsoft's stuff has always slowed down when you run it too long. My favorite was watching my roommate's 5 year old 486 w/ 8MB ram and Linux running circles around my $5000 workstation running NT 4, and the program he ran used up at least 16MB of memory!

My friend was telling me about this back around the time of the competition. It sounded pretty interesting.

good to see the old school doing well

I always though this project was fun. It combines two things I personally enjoy - computers and cars. I wish I could participate in this challenge. Maybe when I pursue my graduate degree...

Intel team in Istrael that create Pentium M is the same good as Microsoft Windows Server team. The both create the good (may be best) product. The different is: Intel create Core prosesor based Pentium M and it rock. Microsoft create Vista based Windows Server 2003 and it doesn't rock. Fortunately Windows Server 2008 is also rock. I don't know how Microsoft keep doing this.

I remote manage a server that's running Server 2003 Small Business Server. It's currently serving: IIS web server for FTP/HTTP, File Sharing, Exchange Server, Active Directory Domain Controller (Including DNS and DHCP for the Zone). The last time it needed to be rebooted, was for a patch 4 month's ago. It hasn't had a stability problem in nearly 3 years. Obviously the Vole knows how to build a stable platform. ME & ME2 aside.
