Finally had the patience to wait for the
New Longhorn Screenshots that have been getting lots of mentioning on the web. In general the theme looks better than what XP has to offer, like the rounding of windows kinda like the default for RedHat 8.0. The new bar, other than the task bar, looks like a nice version of what unix desktops have been doing for years. I still don’t like the way they are using the Start Button and all the ectra crap in file windows seems a waste. Actually if the extra crap in file windows was moved into some fixed point in say the new bar the usability might improve. Ironicly it looks like a cleaned up version of a unix desktop, and not all that OS X influenced like some are saying. All in all the screenshots give some of the less creative theme designers something to copy for the time being.

Friday Five: Halloween
- What is your favorite scary movie? Alien
- What is your favorite Halloween treat? The crappy bubble gum that starts tasting bad after the chewing begins.
- Do you dress up for Halloween? If so, describe your best Halloween costume. I have in the past. The Halloween spent as the evil stepsister, wig and dress included. If not that then the year as a hippie wearing a normal outfit.
- Do you enjoy going to haunted houses or other spooky events? Sometimes, they really are not much fun without some cuttie to grap onto your arm everytime they get spooked.
- Will you dress up for Halloween this year? Not sure. Might get the dummy outside’s costume to scare the trick or treaters.

Cringely, anti MBA
The Case Against Professionalism, How We Have Managed Industry Almost to Death where Cringely goes off on not having founders, the engineers, run the companies they start. He has some good points, about the lack of research funding for short term profits, but misses a few as well.
First off engineer types that also have buisness knowledge would be a killer for running any tech company. But sadly the problem is that few engineers take the time to actually learn anything about buisness. Also the same applies to buisness folks that end up running tech companies, they really need some engineering/technical background.
Secondly the problem of long time research divisions being dropped to improve the bottom line is a problem but what is the causse? As one long time CEO, whose name I can’t remember, said, “The problem in the world of public companies is that executive officers are not gready enough. The big time profits for share holders are in the long term plans.” Until investors realise this fact they will continue to lose while there executive officers will win through artifical means.
Thirdly one situation that Cringely totaly misses on is that the engineers don’t have to ever take VC funding and go public. Like SAS or ESRI they can continue to be the engineer executive of a company that they own and control.
