In regards to Cambridge and Ndiyo, they are nowhere near the capability to mass produce yet, so we have not seen economies of scale. There is certainly nothing in a Ndiyo that is so sophisticated that it would not be as cheap as say, an NComputing device, once they sign up enough manufacturers to license it. As to "Biblical" definitions of the country of Israel, that's a lot more complicated. :) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_ancient_Israel_and_Judah http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Levant_830.svg For many, many years there was no "Country" of Israel, even in Biblical times. Biblical "Israel" actually only inhabited the northern part of the geographic region which is the State of Israel controls today. Much like medieval Europe and ancient Greece throughout the biblical period there were a number of city states, such as Jerusalem (Judah) where Israelite and Semetic tribes resided. You also had the Caananites (Phoenicians) and the Philistines (of which the modern word "Palestine" and "Palestinian" derives from), and Edom, all living in the area which we call "Israel" and the Palestinian controlled territories today. »

Hey Chuck. :) Well, remember that it's only been since December of 2005 when Server 2003 R2 was released, and that was a major improvement from just a service pack. Thats just only a little over 2 years ago. Other than the Hyper-V, which is an indeed an excellent hypervisor technology, 2008 doesn't seem to be that huge an improvement over 2003 R2. »
