Podcasts about Windows NT

¿Sabías que el corazón de tu sistema operativo puede estar diseñado de formas muy distintas? En este episodio, exploramos el fascinante mundo de los kernels: qué son, para qué sirven y por qué existen debates tan intensos entre los que prefieren un diseño monolítico y quienes apuestan por los microkernels.Te explicamos conceptos clave como Ring 0 y Ring 3, y analizamos ejemplos reales como Linux, MINIX, Windows NT y Mach, todo en un lenguaje accesible, técnico y con un toque informal para estudiantes y curiosos de la informática.¡Ideal para quienes quieren entender mejor cómo funciona su ordenador desde dentro!

Parmi les nombreux systèmes d'exploitation existants, ReactOS fait figure d'exception. Initié en 1996, ce projet ambitieux vise à exécuter nativement les applications Windows, en reproduisant l'architecture et les fonctionnalités de Windows NT. Concrètement, ses développeurs ont recréé une grande partie des interfaces de programmation du système de Microsoft, permettant aux logiciels Windows d'interagir avec ReactOS comme s'ils tournaient sur leur plateforme d'origine.Malgré près de 30 ans de développement, ReactOS est toujours en phase alpha, mais il a prouvé sa compatibilité avec plusieurs logiciels, comme d'anciennes versions de Microsoft Office, des lecteurs multimédias comme VLC ou Winamp, des jeux rétro ou encore des utilitaires comme WinRAR. Son noyau hybride gère les ressources matérielles, la mémoire et les processus, en tentant d'émuler au mieux le comportement du noyau de Windows NT. Pour élargir encore sa compatibilité, il intègre également Wine, un autre projet permettant de faire fonctionner des applications Windows sous Linux.En 2023, l'équipe a surpris en annonçant la compatibilité de ReactOS avec les smartphones Lumia, grâce à la prise en charge de l'UEFI 64-bit (AMD64 et ARM64). Plus récemment, elle a ajouté la stack audio de Windows, même si un bug empêche pour l'instant son bon fonctionnement. Autre avancée : les versions nightly build peuvent désormais être exécutées sur un LiveUSB, sans nécessiter d'installation complète. Une prochaine mise à jour élargira encore cette possibilité, rendant le test du système plus accessible. Si ReactOS reste un projet de niche, il continue de séduire les passionnés de rétrocompatibilité et les adeptes d'alternatives libres à Windows. Hébergé par Acast.

In March 2024, the Australian Senate resolved that the Select Committee on Adopting Artificial Intelligence (AI) be established to inquire into and report on the opportunities and impacts for Australia arising out of the uptake of AI technologies in Australia. The committee intends to report to the Parliament on or before 19 September 2024.More than 40 Australian AI experts made a joint submission to the Inquiry. The submission from Australians for AI Safety calls for the creation of an AI Safety Institute. “Australia has yet to position itself to learn from and contribute to growing global efforts. To achieve the economic and social benefits that AI promises, we need to be active in global action to ensure the safety of AI systems that approach or surpass human-level capabilities.” “Too often, lessons are learned only after something goes wrong. With AI systems that might approach or surpass human-level capabilities, we cannot afford for that to be the case.”This session has gathered experts and specialists in their field to discuss best practice alignment of AI applications and utilisation to safety and cybersecurity requirements. This includes quantum computing which is set to revolutionise sustainability, cybersecurity, ML, AI and many optimisation problems that classic computers can never imagine. In addition, we will also get briefed on: OWASP Top 10 for Large Language Model Applications; shedding light on the specific vulnerabilities LLMs face, including real world examples and detailed exploration of five key threats addressed using prompts and responses from LLMs; Prompt injection, insecure output handling, model denial of service, sensitive information disclosure, and model theft; How traditional cybersecurity methodologies can be applied to defend LLMs effectively; and How organisations can stay ahead of potential risks and ensure the security of their LLM-based applications.PanelistsDr Mahendra SamarawickramaDirector | Centre for Sustainable AIDr Mahendra Samarawickrama (GAICD, MBA, SMIEEE, ACS(CP)) is a leader in driving the convergence of Metaverse, AI, and Blockchain to revolutionize the future of customer experience and brand identity.

Hoy es viernes 24 de mayo de 2024. Buenos días Ucrania, Gaza e Israel. Día internacional de las Mujeres por la paz y el Desarme. La celebración de esta importante fecha, tiene su origen a partir de la década de los 80, gracias a la conformación de un grupo de mujeres pacifistas de algunos países europeos y de los Estados Unidos y cuyo objetivo fue la lucha en contra de la carrera armamentista y el uso de armas nucleares. Durante estos años, se levantaron muchos movimientos pacifistas. Uno de ellos fue el llamado Asociación de Mujeres Parlamentarias por la Paz, siendo una de las principales protagonistas Maj Britt Theorin, quien en su rol de presidente de la organización de Naciones Unidas fue pieza clave para la incorporación de la mujer para acabar con el desarme y alcanzar la paz. Se sabe, que desde el año 1915, cuando se llevó a cabo el Congreso Mundial de la Haya, se pudo visibilizar a la mujer y darle la oportunidad de participar de forma activa para alcanzar importantes avances en todo lo concerniente a la paz y otros logros, en pos de una sociedad más justa, digna y libre de enfrentamientos bélicos y guerras injustas. El rol de la mujer a través de la historia, ha sido de gran importancia para lograr cambios y avances importantes en la sociedad. Gracias a su contribución en los distintos ámbitos de la vida, se han podido lograr grandes avances no sólo en el campo tecnológico y científico, sino en muchas áreas del acontecer diario. Por esta razón, se acordó, en el Consejo de las Naciones Unidas, una mayor participación de la mujer para consolidar la paz en el mundo. A esta conclusión se ha llegado, debido al excelente desenvolvimiento que ha tenido el género femenino, cuando no le han sido vulnerados sus derechos, sino que, por el contrario, han sido tratadas con igualdad, respeto e inclusión. 1337 inicia la Guerra de los Cien Años con la invasión francesa del Ducado de Aquitania. 1819 de Nueva York zarpa el buque Savannah, primer barco a vapor que atraviesa el Atlántico. 1915 Italia entra en combate en la Primera Guerra Mundial. 1926 en Japón, en la isla de Hokkaido, la erupción del volcán Tokachi causa la muerte a más de dos mil personas y graves daños materiales. 1928 inauguración del servicio telefónico entre España y Reino Unido. 1949 la Unión Soviética acaba con el bloqueo de Berlín después de 11 meses. 1965 el Reino Unido adopta el sistema métrico decimal. 1993 Microsoft desarrolla el sistema operativo Windows NT.

A snapshot of Be's direction in 1998 post-Apple merger talks and pre-bankruptcy. Original text by Henry Bortman. Selected Jean-Louis Gassée quotes: “Who could have put a date on not getting fired for using Linux?” “One of my role models is Michael Dell. […] He looks like a sage in the industry now, but he didn't always look like this.” “The simple fact is, today if you write a line of C++ code, chances are you're competing with Microsoft.” The 1996 BeOS vs. NeXTSTEP bakeoff story as told by Avie Tevanian. JLG refers to striking a deal with “a Japanese PC maker”, resulting in preinstalls of BeOS on the Hitachi Flora Prius (not that Prius). Yes, Apple's marketing slogan for the Macintosh really was “it does more and it costs less” in the early 1990s. Related comic. In audio as in video applications, the talk-to-shipping-products ratio was extremely poor. Back in the day I only heard of one video editor shipping on BeOS, Adamation (ex-NeXT!) personalStudio. The BeBits software catalog reflects this as of mid-2000 when third-party application development seemed to stop altogether. I'm not counting the Edirol DV-7 because, like the Otari RADAR system, it was an expensive custom hardware appliance built on top of BeOS, priced mostly out of the reach of casual home users. Windows NT on PowerPC did exist… briefly.

I've got a few certifications and quite a few more that have expired or aren't relevant. Does anyone think Windows NT 4.0 or SQL Server 6.5 matter? If you need help in those areas, ask someone else. Unless you have a crazy budget with a willingness to pay a ridiculous hourly rate. Kamil Nowinski had a recent video discussing why IT certifications are still relevant. He had ten reasons, and if you want to watch the entire show, you'll hear his reasons and some rationale why he thinks they matter. It's a good set of reasons: keeping up with tech, practicing learning, demonstrating a commitment to some technology, finding a community of certified colleagues, and more.

30 éves Windows-funkció – ronda, de működik ITBusiness     2024-03-27 05:05:26     Mobiltech Microsoft Windows Valamit gyorsan össze le kellett kódolni, hogy tovább lehessen haladni a Windows NT fejlesztésével. Ez 30 éve történt, egy napsütötte csütörtök reggelen – és az akkor megalkotott párbeszédablak a mai napig velünk maradt. Egyszerű, de megbízható.

https://www.yourcyberpath.com/107/ In this episode, we go back to the Security Design Principles series, this time we are discussing Failsafe Defaults. Failsafe defaults simply means that the default condition of a system should always be to deny. An example of a failsafe default is the security reference monitor (SRM) that has been implemented in Windows operating systems since Windows NT. The SRM prevents access to any actions like logging on, accessing a file, or printing something unless the user presents a token to prove that they should have access to a file or an action. There will always be two choices for failsafe defaults - to fail close or to fail open. The DoD and government organization side will tend toward using the fail close option, while the commercial and more streamlined companies will definitely prefer to fail open. There will always be this challenge between security and operations. More security means less operations and more inconveniences, while prioritizing operations means that security will not be the best. It all depends on your organization and its goals. Understanding failsafe defaults and other security design principles will help you become a better analyst and produce more secure, robust, and functional systems.

Informativo de primera hora de la mañana, en el programa El remate de La Diez Capital Radio. Las lluvias regresan a Canarias: la Aemet da un 100% de probabilidad de precipitaciones el jueves y el viernes. Este miércoles hay probabilidad de que caigan chubascos de carácter débil, aunque durante la tarde pueden tener mayor intensidad en La Palma, Gran Canaria y Tenerife. Hoy se cumplen un año y 90 días del cruel ataque e invasión de Rusia a Ucrania. Hoy es miércoles 24 de mayo de 2023. Buenos días Ucrania. Día internacional de las Mujeres por la paz y el Desarme. La celebración de esta importante fecha, tiene su origen a partir de la década de los 80, gracias a la conformación de un grupo de mujeres pacifistas de algunos países europeos y de los Estados Unidos y cuyo objetivo fue la lucha en contra de la carrera armamentista y el uso de armas nucleares. Durante estos años, se levantaron muchos movimientos pacifistas. Uno de ellos fue el llamado Asociación de Mujeres Parlamentarias por la Paz, siendo una de las principales protagonistas Maj Britt Theorin, quien en su rol de presidente de la organización de Naciones Unidas fue pieza clave para la incorporación de la mujer para acabar con el desarme y alcanzar la paz. Se sabe, que desde el año 1915, cuando se llevó a cabo el Congreso Mundial de la Haya, se pudo visibilizar a la mujer y darle la oportunidad de participar de forma activa para alcanzar importantes avances en todo lo concerniente a la paz y otros logros, en pos de una sociedad más justa, digna y libre de enfrentamientos bélicos y guerras injustas. El rol de la mujer a través de la historia, ha sido de gran importancia para lograr cambios y avances importantes en la sociedad. Gracias a su contribución en los distintos ámbitos de la vida, se han podido lograr grandes avances no sólo en el campo tecnológico y científico, sino en muchas áreas del acontecer diario. Por esta razón, se acordó, en el Consejo de las Naciones Unidas, una mayor participación de la mujer para consolidar la paz en el mundo. A esta conclusión se ha llegado, debido al excelente desenvolvimiento que ha tenido el género femenino, cuando no le han sido vulnerados sus derechos, sino que, por el contrario, han sido tratadas con igualdad, respeto e inclusión. 1337 inicia la Guerra de los Cien Años con la invasión francesa del Ducado de Aquitania. 1819 de Nueva York zarpa el buque Savannah, primer barco a vapor que atraviesa el Atlántico. 1915 Italia entra en combate en la Primera Guerra Mundial. 1926 en Japón, en la isla de Hokkaido, la erupción del volcán Tokachi causa la muerte a más de dos mil personas y graves daños materiales. 1928 inauguración del servicio telefónico entre España y Reino Unido. 1949 la Unión Soviética acaba con el bloqueo de Berlín después de 11 meses. 1965 el Reino Unido adopta el sistema métrico decimal. 1993 Microsoft desarrolla el sistema operativo Windows NT.

Detienen a un consejero del Gobierno de Melilla y a otras nueve personas por la presunta compra de votos por correo. En libertad los tres detenidos en Valencia por insultos racistas a Vinicius en Mestalla. Jueces y fiscales firman la subida salarial de 450 euros mientras los funcionarios esperan la llamada de Llop. Rankig de universidades: la Autónoma de Barcelona vuelve a ser el centro con mayor rendimiento de España, le sigue Navarra, Carlos III de Madrid, Autónoma de Madrid y Barcelona. La Europea de Canarias la 49, La Laguna la 54 y Las palmas la 74 (Total 86 universidades en España). Canarias quedará exenta de la tasa verde al combustible. Esta tasa verde al combustible podría afectar al precio de los billetes de avión, de ahí las gestiones del Ejecutivo canario para que eso no ocurriera. Las vacaciones en Canarias son ahora un 22% más caras. La tarifa media diaria en las islas es de 124,67 euros. El tráfico de cruceros en Canarias se dispara: 1,3 millones de pasajeros llegan a las Islas. El crecimiento en el número de cruceristas se ha producido con menos buques. El tráfico de cruceros en Canarias en los cuatro primeros meses del año creció un 104% con respecto al mismo mes del año anterior y sumar un total de 1.385.127 pasajeros. Salvamento rescata a unos 138 migrantes a bordo de tres pateras en aguas cercanas a Canarias. Las personas que llegaron en primer lugar han sido trasladados a Arguineguín, los demás a Las Palmas de Gran Canaria y Gran Tarajal. Los perros podrán viajar en guaguas y tranvías a partir del próximo 1 de junio. Los animales serán ubicados en un espacio habilitado para ellos tanto en los vehículos de Titsa como de Metrotenerife. «Hay que poner profesionales al frente de la sanidad y no a amañados» El actual vicepresidente de Canarias asegura que es el momento de repensar el modelo sanitario para «adaptarse a las nuevas necesidades». Román Rodríguez (NC): “No puede ser que cualquiera acabe de gerente de un hospital con 700 millones de presupuesto”. Ruidos, orines, vómitos y drogas: el Tribunal Superior de Justicia de Canarias veta el Carnaval en Vegueta por las molestias que causa a los vecinos. Censura que el Ayuntamiento de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria alegara que “son solo tres” los vecinos que impugnan con su recurso la celebración de esta fiesta y que antepusiera los rendimientos económicos para la hostelería del barrio sobre los derechos de los residentes. Un 24 de mayo de 1941 nace Bob Dylan (81 años), cantautor estadounidense. En 2016 recibió el Premio Nobel de Literatura.​

Rankig de universidades: la Autónoma de Barcelona vuelve a ser el centro con mayor rendimiento de España, le sigue Navarra, Carlos III de Madrid, Autónoma de Madrid y Barcelona. La Europea de Canarias la 49, La Laguna la 54 y Las palmas la 74 (Total 86 universidades en España). Canarias quedará exenta de la tasa verde al combustible. Esta tasa verde al combustible podría afectar al precio de los billetes de avión, de ahí las gestiones del Ejecutivo canario para que eso no ocurriera. Las vacaciones en Canarias son ahora un 22% más caras. La tarifa media diaria en las islas es de 124,67 euros. El tráfico de cruceros en Canarias se dispara: 1,3 millones de pasajeros llegan a las Islas. El crecimiento en el número de cruceristas se ha producido con menos buques. El tráfico de cruceros en Canarias en los cuatro primeros meses del año creció un 104% con respecto al mismo mes del año anterior y sumar un total de 1.385.127 pasajeros. Salvamento rescata a unos 138 migrantes a bordo de tres pateras en aguas cercanas a Canarias. Las personas que llegaron en primer lugar han sido trasladados a Arguineguín, los demás a Las Palmas de Gran Canaria y Gran Tarajal. Los perros podrán viajar en guaguas y tranvías a partir del próximo 1 de junio. Los animales serán ubicados en un espacio habilitado para ellos tanto en los vehículos de Titsa como de Metrotenerife. «Hay que poner profesionales al frente de la sanidad y no a amañados» El actual vicepresidente de Canarias asegura que es el momento de repensar el modelo sanitario para «adaptarse a las nuevas necesidades». Román Rodríguez (NC): “No puede ser que cualquiera acabe de gerente de un hospital con 700 millones de presupuesto”. Ruidos, orines, vómitos y drogas: el Tribunal Superior de Justicia de Canarias veta el Carnaval en Vegueta por las molestias que causa a los vecinos. Censura que el Ayuntamiento de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria alegara que “son solo tres” los vecinos que impugnan con su recurso la celebración de esta fiesta y que antepusiera los rendimientos económicos para la hostelería del barrio sobre los derechos de los residentes.

"Europe is building a bunch of regasification plants on their end. So the demand is going to be high for people to start filling that pipeline, for LNG." In this episode, I'm in conversation with Mark Smith, the President and co-founder of CleanConnect.ai. In a prior life, Mark launched Windows NT Magazine, an international publication about the fast evolving technology called Windows NT. I remember reading the magazine! "Instead of us being able to buy carbon credits from say trees in Africa and offset, the actual suppliers are going to need to prove their provenance and their carbon intensity just to sell into the gas supply chain. It's going to shift from a voluntary to much more of a mandatory deal." Mark Smith is the President and co-founder of CleanConnect.ai.  Our software suite is the only government-approved AI solution that can replace human leak-detection-and-repair operators for oil & gas companies. Mark is also the host of Digital Roughnecks, a video podcast for energy executives.  Mark previously launched Windows NT Magazine, with 1.5M IT professionals subscribers in 160 countries. "[EPA regulations will] add at least 1.4 to 1.6 million more inspections across all the operators, which is a 471% increase. I estimate it'll cost them about $831 million to do that. So that's a biggie, right? 3500 new trained LDAR inspectors." Mark is quite used to putting out predictions about the future, and in this episode we discuss five predictions that Mark forecasts for the oil and gas industry.  Here are the 5 predictions: Energy demand will continue to grow, but some energy products, notably LNG, will experience hypergrowth. Energy regulations coming on stream will drive a huge ramp up of energy inspections, and with it, the need for inspectors. Talent shortages will not only persist but will worsen as US industry reacts to the Inflation Reduction Act, pulling talent into new sectors. Proof of emissions will become mandatory for anyone selling energy products (gas, oil, LNG) Energy companies embrace new technologies, notably AI-enabled computer vision, to cope with the talent shortfall and regulatory growth.  Mark elaborates on these predictions with examples and anecdotes from his ongoing work and experiences in the industry.  USEFUL LINKS LinkedIn profiles (personal, business):  Personal: https://www.linkedin.com/in/markhoustonsmith/ Business: https://www.linkedin.com/company/clean-connect/ Website:   https://www.EPACheatSheet.com  

Richard Nazarewicz talks with Jason Barnard about technical & product SEO for news. Richard Nazarewicz has worked across the digital spectrum for the past 20 years, typically demystifying complex search and optimization solutions to enable all business units to integrate search and SEO. In his current role at The Wall Street Journal, he focuses on product, technical and news SEO to make SEO a key component of WSJ, Dow Jones and News Corp. strategy. Originally from Caversham, Reading in the UK, he began his career during the dot-com boom as a consultant at Digital Computer Corporation, where one of the first search engines - Altavista - was developed and Web 1.0 was born. From there he began writing white papers on Windows NT server clustering on DEC Alpha servers, which was very advanced at the time. The Altavista browser at the time was primarily used as a tool to demonstrate the backend storage and server solutions he was working on. In 2002, he moved to Madrid, Spain to co-found a digital startup agency and worked as a consultant, SEO, digital producer, technical lead and project manager across Europe and the US with digital agencies like Ogilvy and clients like Microsoft, HP, Pepe Jeans, British Council and Katie Couric. Google wants to provide the nbest local, national and global news service to its users, on the SERP, in the News Vertical and in Discover. Imagine the task it has - keeping up to date in real time(often within seconds), distinguishing out of date news articles from current news articles, deciding which sources to show (many sites carry the same news). How can publishers help Google achieve its goals and thus get themselves more visibility in Google's News channels? That is the key question for any news organisation: local, national or global. Fascinating. In this incredibly brilliant episode, Jason Barnard and Richard Nazarewicz dive deep into the more technical aspect of SEO for news. How optimising for the top stories on Google News is critical. And how paywalling works for website content and how Google is able to crawl and index paywall content are just some of the exciting topics discussed. In addition to a detailed explanation of how to set up a Google News publisher, Richard also offers some delightful tidbits about Google Discover and Google News Sitemaps.

I'm Joël Quenneville. And today, I'm joined by fellow thoughtboter, Team Lead, and Developer Sara Jackson. SARA: Hello, happy to be here. JOËL: Together, we're here to share a little bit of what we've learned along the way. So, Sara, what's new in your world? SARA: Well, Joël, you might know that recently our team had a small get-together in Toronto. JOËL: And our team, for those who are not aware, is fully remote distributed across multiple countries. So this was a chance to get together in person. SARA: Yes, correct. This was a chance for those on the Boost team to get together and work together as if we had a physical office. JOËL: Was this your first time meeting some members of the team? SARA: It was my second, for the most part. So I joined thoughtbot, but after thoughtbot had already gotten remote. Fortunately, I was able to meet many other thoughtboters in May at our summit. JOËL: Had you worked at a remote company before coming to thoughtbot? SARA: Yes, I actually started working remotely in 2019, but even then, that wasn't my first time working remotely. I actually had a full year of internship in college that was remote. JOËL: So you were a pro at this long before the pandemic made us all try it out. SARA: I don't know about that, but I've certainly dealt with the idiosyncrasies that come with remote work for longer. JOËL: What do you think are some of the challenges of remote work as opposed to working in person in an office? SARA: I think definitely growing and maintaining a culture. When you're in an office, it's easy to create ad hoc conversations and have events that are small that build on the culture. But when you're remote, it has to be a lot more intentional. JOËL: That definitely rings true for me. One of the things that I really appreciated about in-person office culture was the serendipity that you have those sort of random meetings at the water cooler, those conversations, waiting for coffee with people who are not necessarily on the same team or the same project as you are. SARA: I also really miss being able to have lunch in person with folks where I can casually gripe about an issue I might be having, and almost certainly, someone would have the answer. Now, if I'm having an issue, I have to intentionally seek help. [chuckles] JOËL: One of the funny things that often happened, at least the office where I worked at, was that lunches would often devolve into taxonomy conversations. SARA: I wish I had been there for that. [laughter] JOËL: Well, we do have a taxonomy channel on Slack to somewhat continue that legacy. SARA: Do you have a favorite taxonomy lunch discussion that you recall? JOËL: I definitely got to the point where I hated the classifying a sandwich. That one has been way overdone. SARA: Absolutely. JOËL: There was an interesting one about motorcycles, and mopeds, and bicycles, and e-bikes, and trying to see how do you distinguish one from the other. Is it an electric motor? Is it the power of the engine that you have? Is it the size? SARA: My brain is already turning on those thoughts. I feel like I could get lost down that rabbit hole very easily. [laughter] JOËL: Maybe that should be like a special anniversary episode for The Bike Shed, just one long taxonomy ramble. SARA: Where we talk about bikes. JOËL: Ooh, that's so perfect. I love it. One thing that I really appreciated during our time in Toronto was that we actually got to have lunch in person again. SARA: Yeah, that was so wonderful. Having folks coming together that had maybe never worked together directly on clients just getting to sit down and talk about our day. JOËL: Yeah, and talk about maybe it's work-related, maybe it's not. There's a lot of power to having some amount of deeper interpersonal connection with your co-workers beyond just the we work on a project together. SARA: Yeah, it's like camaraderie beyond the shared mission of the company. It's the shared interpersonal mission, like you say. Did you have any in-person pairing sessions in Toronto? JOËL: I did. It was actually kind of serendipitous. Someone was stuck with a weird failing test because somehow the order factories were getting created in was not behaving in the expected way, and we herd on it, dug into it, found some weird thing with composite primary keys, and solved the issue. SARA: That's wonderful. I love that. I wonder if that interaction would have happened or gotten solved as quickly if we hadn't been in person. JOËL: I don't know about you, but I feel like I sometimes struggle to ask for help or ask for a pair more when I'm online. SARA: Yeah, I agree. It's easier to feel like you're not as big of an impediment when you're in person. You tap someone on the shoulder, "Hey, can you take a look at this?" JOËL: Especially when they're on the same team as you, they're sitting at the next desk over. I don't know; it just felt easier. Even though it's literally one button press to get Tuple to make a call, somehow, I feel like I'm interrupting more. SARA: To combat that, I've been trying to pair more frequently and consistently regardless of if I'm struggling with a problem. JOËL: Has that worked pretty well? SARA: It's been wonderful. The only downside has been pairing fatigue. JOËL: Pairing fatigue is real. SARA: But other than that, problems have gotten solved quickly. We've all learned something for those that I've paired with. It goes faster. JOËL: So it was really great that we had this experience of doing our daily work but co-located in person; we have these experiences of working together. What would you say has been one of the highlights for you of that time? SARA: 100% karaoke. JOËL: [laughs] SARA: Only two folks did not attend. Many of the folks that did attend told me they weren't going to sing, but they were just going to watch. By the end of the night, everyone had sung. We were there for nearly three and a half hours. [laughs] JOËL: It was a good time all around. SARA: I saw a different side to Chad. JOËL: [laughs] SARA: And everyone, honestly. Were there any musical choices that surprised you? JOËL: Not particularly. Karaoke is always fun when you have a group of people that you trust to be a little bit foolish in front of to put yourself out there. I really appreciated the style that we went for, where we have a private room for just the people who were there as opposed to a stage in a bar somewhere. I think that makes it a little bit more accessible to pick up the mic and try to sing a song. SARA: I agree. That style of karaoke is a lot more popular in Asia, having your private room. Sometimes you can find it in major cities. But I also prefer it for that reason. JOËL: One of my highlights of this trip was this very sort of serendipitous moment that happened. Someone was asking a question about the difference between a Mac and Linux operating systems. And then just an impromptu gathering happened. And you pulled up a chair, and you're like, gather around, everyone. In the beginning, there was Multics. It was amazing. SARA: I felt like some kind of historian or librarian coming out from the deep. Let me tell you about this random operating system knowledge that I have. [laughs] JOËL: The ancient lore. SARA: The ancient lore in the year 1969. JOËL: [laughs] And then yeah, we had a conversation walking the history of operating systems, and why we have macOS and Linux, and why they're different, and why Windows is a totally different kind of family there. SARA: Yeah, macOS and Linux are sort of like cousins coming from the same tree. JOËL: Is that because they're both related through Unix? SARA: Yes. Linux and macOS are both built based off of different versions of Unix. Over the years, there's almost like a family tree of these different Nix operating systems as they're called. JOËL: I've sometimes seen asterisk N-I-X. This is what you're referring to as Nix. SARA: Yes, where the asterisk is like the RegEx catch-all. JOËL: So this might be Unix. It might be Linux. It might be... SARA: Minix. JOËL: All of those. SARA: Do you know the origin of the name Unix? JOËL: I do not. SARA: It's kind of a fun trivia piece. So, in the beginning, there was Multics spelled M-U-L-T-I-C-S, standing for the Multiplexed Information and Computing Service. Dennis Ritchie and Ken Thompson of Bell Labs famous for the C programming language... JOËL: You may have heard of it. SARA: You may have heard of it maybe on a different podcast. They were employees at Bell Labs when Multics was being created. They felt that Multics was very bulky and heavy. It was trying to do too many things at once. It did have a few good concepts. So they developed their own smaller Unix originally, Unics, the Uniplexed Information and Computing Service, Uniplexed versus Multiplexed. We do one thing really well. JOËL: And that's the Unix philosophy. SARA: It absolutely is. The Unix philosophy developed out of the creation of Unix and C. Do you know the four main points? JOËL: No, is it small sharp tools? It's the main one I hear. SARA: Yes, that is the kind of quippy version that has come out for sure. JOËL: But there is a formal four-point manifesto. SARA: I believe it's evolved over the years. But it's interesting looking at the Unix philosophy and seeing how relevant it is today in web development. The four points being make each program do one thing well. To this end, don't add features; make a new program. I feel like we have this a lot in encapsulation. JOËL: Hmm, maybe even the open-closed principle. SARA: Absolutely. JOËL: Similar idea. SARA: Another part of the philosophy is expecting output of your program to become input of another program that is yet unknown. The key being don't clutter your output; don't have extraneous text. This feels very similar to how we develop APIs. JOËL: With a focus on composability. SARA: Absolutely. Being able to chain commands together like you see in Ruby all the time. JOËL: I love being able to do this, for example, the enumerable API in Ruby and just being able to chain all these methods together to just very nicely do some pretty big transformations on an array or some other data structure. SARA: 100% agree there. That ability almost certainly came out of following the tenets of this philosophy, maybe not knowingly so but maybe knowingly so. [chuckles] JOËL: So is that three or four? SARA: So that was two. The third being what we know as agile. JOËL: Really? SARA: Yeah, right? The '70s brought us agile. Design and build software to be tried early, and don't hesitate to throw away clumsy parts and rebuild. JOËL: Hmmm. SARA: Even in those days, despite waterfall style still coming on the horizon. It was known for those writing software that it was important to iterate quickly. JOËL: Wow, I would never have known. SARA: It's neat having this history available to us. It's sort of like a lens at where we came from. Another piece of this history that might seem like a more modern concept but was a very big part of the movement in the '70s and the '80s was using tools rather than unskilled help or trying to struggle through something yourself when you're lightening a programming task. We see this all the time at thoughtbot. Folks do this many times there is an issue on a client code. We are able to generalize the solution, extract into a tool that can then be reused. JOËL: So that's the same kind of genesis as a lot of thoughtbot's open-source gems, so I'm thinking of FactoryBot, Clearance, Paperclip, the old-timey file upload gem, Suspenders, the Rails app generator, and the list goes on. SARA: I love that in this last point of the Unix philosophy, they specifically call out that you should create a new tool, even if it means detouring, even if it means throwing the tools out later. JOËL: What impact do you think that has had on the way that tooling in the Unix, or maybe I should say *Nix, ecosystem has developed? SARA: It was a major aspect of the Nix environment community because Unix was available, not free, but very inexpensively to educational institutions. And because of how lightweight it was and its focus on single-use programs, programs that were designed to do one thing, and also the way the shell was allowing you to use commands directly and having it be the same language as the shell scripting language, users, students, amateurs, and I say that in a loving way, were able to create their own tools very quickly. It was almost like a renaissance of Homebrew. JOËL: Not Homebrew as in the macOS package manager. SARA: [laughs] And also not Homebrew as in the alcoholic beverage. JOËL: [laughs] So, this kind of history is fun trivia to know. Is it really something valuable for us as a jobbing developer in 2022? SARA: I would say it's a difficult question. If you are someone that doesn't dive into the why of something, especially when something goes wrong, maybe it wouldn't be important or useful. But what sparked the conversation in Toronto was trying to determine why we as thoughtbot tend to prefer using Macs to develop on versus Linux or Windows. There is a reason, and the reason is in the history. Knowing that can clarify decisions and can give meaning where it feels like an arbitrary decision. JOËL: Right. We're not just picking Macs because they're shiny. SARA: They are certainly shiny. And the first thing I did was to put a matte case on it. JOËL: [laughs] So no shiny in your office. SARA: If there were too many shiny things in my office, boy, I would never get work done. The cats would be all over me.

Head on over to airbrake.io/try/bikeshed to create your FREE developer account today! JOËL: So we've talked a little bit about Unix or *Nix, this evolution of systems. I've also heard the term POSIX thrown around when talking about things that seem to encompass both macOS and Linux. How does that fit into this history? SARA: POSIX is sort of an umbrella of standards around operating systems that was based on Unix and the things that were standard in Unix. It stands for the Portable Operating System Interface. This allowed for compatibility between OSs, very similar to USB being the standard for peripherals. JOËL: So, if I was implementing my own Unix-like operating system in the '80s, I would try to conform to the POSIX standard. SARA: Absolutely. Now, not every Nix operating system is POSIX-compliant, but most are or at least 90% of the way there. JOËL: Are any of the big ones that people tend to think about not compliant? SARA: A major player in the operating system space that is not generally considered POSIX-compliant is Microsoft Windows. JOËL: [laughs] It doesn't even try to be Unix-like, right? It's just its own thing, SARA: It is completely its own thing. I don't think it even has a standard necessarily that it conforms to. JOËL: It is its own standard, its own branch of the family tree. SARA: And that's what happens when your operating system is very proprietary. This has caused folks pain, I'm sure, in the past that may have tried to develop software on their computers using languages that are more readily compatible with POSIX operating systems. JOËL: So would you say that a language like Ruby is more compatible with one of the POSIX-compatible operating systems? SARA: 100% yes. In fact, to even use Ruby as a development tool in Windows, prior to Windows 10, you needed an additional tool. You needed something like Cygwin or MinGW, which were POSIX-compliant programs that it was almost like a shell in your Windows computer that would allow you to run those commands. JOËL: Really? For some reason, I thought that they had some executables that you could run just on Windows by itself. SARA: Now they do, fortunately, to the benefit of Ruby developers everywhere. As of Windows 10, we now have WSL, the Windows Subsystem for Linux that's built-in. You don't have to worry about installing or configuring some third-party software. JOËL: I guess that kind of almost cheats by just having a POSIX system embedded in your non-POSIX system. SARA: It does feel like a cheat, but I think it was born out of demand. The Windows NT kernel, for example, is mostly POSIX-compliant. JOËL: Really? SARA: As a result of it being used primarily for servers. JOËL: So you mentioned the Ruby tends and the Rails ecosystem tends to run better and much more frequently on the various Nix systems. Did it have to be that way? Or is it just kind of an accident of history that we happen to end up with Ruby and Rails in this ecosystem, but just as easily, it could have evolved in the Windows world? SARA: I think it is an amalgam of things. For example, Unix and Nix operating systems being developed earlier, being widely spread due to being license-free oftentimes, and being widely used in the education space. Also, because it is so lightweight, it is the operating system of choice. For most servers in the world, they're running some form of Unix, Linux, or macOS. JOËL: I don't think I've ever seen a server that runs macOS; exclusively seen it on dev machines. SARA: If you go to an animation company, they have server farms of macOS machines because they're really good at rendering. This might not be the case anymore, but it was at one point. JOËL: That's a whole other world that I've not interacted with a whole lot. SARA: [chuckles] JOËL: It's a fun intersection between software, and design, and storytelling. That is an important part for the software field. SARA: Yeah, it's definitely an aspect that deserves its own deep dive of sorts. If you have a server that's running a Windows-based operating system like NT and you have a website or a program that's designed to be served under a Unix-based server, it can easily be hosted on the Windows server; it's not an issue. The reverse is not true. JOËL: Oh. SARA: And this is why programming on a Nix system is the better choice. JOËL: It's more broadly compatible. SARA: Absolutely. Significantly more compatible with more things. JOËL: So today, when I develop, a lot of the tooling that I use is open source. The open-source movement has created a lot of the languages that we know and love, including Ruby, including Rails. Do you think there's some connection between a lot of that tooling being open source and maybe some of the Unix family of operating systems and movements that came out of that branch of the operating system family tree? SARA: I think that there is a lot of tie-in with today's open-source culture and the computing history that we've been talking about, for example, people finding something that they dislike about the tools that are available and then rolling their own. That's what Ken Thompson and Dennis Ritchie did. Unix was not an official Bell development. It was a side project for them. JOËL: I love that. SARA: You see this happen a lot in the software world where a program gets shared widely, and due to this, it gains traction and gains buy-in from the community. If your software is easily accessible to students, folks that are learning, and breaking things, and rebuilding, and trying, and inventing, it's going to persist. And we saw that with Unix. JOËL: I feel like this background on where a lot of these operating systems came but then also the ecosystems, the values that evolved with them has given me a deeper appreciation of the tooling, the systems that we work with today. Are there any other advantages, do you think, to trying to learn a little bit of computing history? SARA: I think the main benefit that I mentioned before of if you're a person that wants to know why, then there is a great benefit in knowing some of these details. That being said, you don't need to deep dive or read multiple books or write papers on it. You can get enough information from reading or skimming some Wikipedia pages. But it's interesting to know where we came from and how it still affects us today. Ruby was written in C, for example. Unix was written in C as well, originally Assembly Language, but it got rewritten in C. And understanding the underlying tooling that goes into that that when things go wrong, you know where to look. JOËL: I guess that that is the next question is where do you look if you're kind of interested? Is Wikipedia good enough? You just sort of look up operating system, and it tells you where to go? Or do you have other sources you like to search for or start pulling at those threads to understand history? SARA: That's a great question. And Wikipedia is a wonderful starting point for sure. It has a lot of the abbreviated history and links to better references. I don't have them off the top of my head. So I will find them for you for the show notes. But there are some old esoteric websites with some of this history more thoroughly documented by the people that lived it. JOËL: I feel like those websites always end up being in HTML 2; your very basic text, horizontal rules, no CSS. SARA: Mm-hmm. And those are the sites that have many wonderful kernels of knowledge. JOËL: Uh-huh! Great pun. SARA: [chuckles] Thank you. JOËL: Do you read any content by Hillel Wayne? SARA: I have not. JOËL: So Hillel produces a lot of deep dives into computing history, oftentimes trying to answer very particular questions such as when and why did we start using reversing a linked list as the canonical interview question? And there are often urban legends around like, oh, it's because of this. And then Hillel will do some research and go through actual archives of messages on message boards or...what is that protocol? SARA: BBS. JOËL: Yes. And then find the real answer, like, do actual historical methodology, and I love that. SARA: I had not heard of this before. I don't know how. And that is all I'm going to be doing this weekend is reading these. That kind of history speaks to my heart. I have a random fun fact along those lines that I wanted to bring to the show, which was that the echo command that we know and love in the terminal was first introduced by the Multics operating system. JOËL: Wow. So that's like the most common piece of Multics that as an everyday user of a modern operating system that we would still touch a little bit of that history every day when we work. SARA: Yeah, it's one of those things that we don't think about too much. Where did it come from? How long has it been around? I'm sure the implementation today is very different. But it's like etymology, and like taxonomy, pulling those threads. JOËL: Two fantastic topics. On that wonderful little nugget of knowledge, let's wrap up. Sara, where can people find you online? SARA: You can find me on Twitter at @csarajackson. JOËL: And we will include a link to that in the show notes. SARA: Thank you so much for having me on the show and letting me nerd out about operating system history. JOËL: It's been a pleasure. The show notes for this episode can be found at bikeshed.fm.

Microsoft had confusion in the Windows 2000 marketing and disappointment with Millennium Edition, which was built on a kernel that had run its course. It was time to phase out the older 95, 98, and Millennium code. So in 2001, Microsoft introduced Windows NT 5.1, known as Windows XP (eXperience). XP came in a Home or Professional edition.  Microsoft built a new interface they called Whistler for XP. It was sleeker and took more use of the graphics processors of the day. Jim Allchin was the Vice President in charge of the software group by then and helped spearhead development. XP had even more security options, which were simplified in the home edition. They did a lot of work to improve the compatibility between hardware and software and added the option for fast user switching so users didn't have to log off completely and close all of their applications when someone else needed to use the computer. They also improved on the digital media experience and added new libraries to incorporate DirectX for various games.  Professional edition also added options that were more business focused. This included the ability to join a network and Remote Desktop without the need of a third party product to take control of the keyboard, video, and mouse of a remote computer. Users could use their XP Home Edition computer to log into work, if the network administrator could forward the port necessary. XP Professional also came with the ability to support multiple processors, send faxes, an encrypted file system, more granular control of files and other objects (including GPOs), roaming profiles (centrally managed through Active Directory using those GPOs), multiple language support, IntelliMirror (an oft forgotten centralized management solution that included RIS and sysprep for mass deployments), an option to do an Automated System Recovery, or ASR restore of a computer. Professional also came with the ability to act as a web server, not that anyone should run one on a home operating system. XP Professional was also 64-bit given the right processor. XP Home Edition could be upgraded to from Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition, Millineum, and XP Professional could be upgraded to from any operating system since Windows 98 was released., including NT 4 and Windows 2000 Professional. And users could upgrade from Home to Professional for an additional $100.   Microsoft also fixed a few features. One that had plagued users was that they had to gracefully unmount a drive before removing it; Microsoft got in front of this when they removed the warning that a drive was disconnected improperly and had the software take care of that preemptively. They removed some features users didn't really use like NetMeeting and Phone Dialer and removed some of the themes options. The 3D Maze was also sadly removed. Other options just cleaned up the interface or merged technologies that had become similar, like Deluxe CD player and DVD player were removed in lieu of just using Windows Media Player. And chatty network protocols that caused problems like NetBEUI and AppleTalk were removed from the defaults, as was the legacy Microsoft OS/2 subsystem. In general, Microsoft moved from two operating system code bases to one. Although with the introduction of Windows CE, they arguably had no net-savings. However, to the consumer and enterprise buyer, it was a simpler licensing scheme. Those enterprise buyers were more and more important to Microsoft. Larger and larger fleets gave them buying power and the line items with resellers showed it with an explosion in the number of options for licensing packs and tiers. But feature-wise Microsoft had spent the Microsoft NT and Windows 2000-era training thousands of engineers on how to manage large fleets of Windows machines as Microsoft Certified Systems Engineers (MCSE) and other credentials. Deployments grew and by the time XP was released, Microsoft had the lions' share of the market for desktop operating systems and productivity apps. XP would only cement that lead and create a generation of systems administrators equipped to manage the platform, who never knew a way other than the Microsoft way. One step along the path to the MCSE was through servers. For the first couple of years, XP connected to Windows 2000 Servers. Windows Server 2003, which was built on the Windows NT 5.2 kernel, was then released in 2003. Here, we saw Active Directory cement a lead created in 2000 over servers from Novell and other vendors. Server 2003 became the de facto platform for centralized file, print, web, ftp, software  time, DHCP, DNS, event, messeging, and terminal services (or shared Remote Desktop services through Terminal Server). Server 2003 could also be purchased with Exchange 2003. Given the integration with Microsoft Outlook and a number of desktop services, Microsoft Exchange.  The groupware market in 2003 and the years that followed were dominated by Lotus Notes, Novell's GroupWise, and Exchange. Microsoft was aggressive. They were aggressive on pricing. They released tools to migrate from Notes to Exchange the week before IBM's conference. We saw some of the same tactics and some of the same faces that were involved in Microsoft's Internet Explorer anti-trust suit from the 1990s. The competition to Change never recovered and while Microsoft gained ground in the groupware space through the Exchange Server 4.0, 5.0, 5.5, 2000, 2003, 2007, 2010, 2013, and 2016 eras, by Exchange 2019 over half the mailboxes formerly hosted by on premises Exchange servers had moved to the cloud and predominantly Microsoft's Office 365 cloud service. Some still used legacy Unix mail services like sendmail or those hosted by third party providers like GoDaddy with their domain or website - but many of those ran on Exchange as well. The only company to put up true competition in the space has been Google. Other companies had released tools to manage Windows devices en masse. Companies like Altiris sprang out of needs for companies who did third party software testing to manage the state of Windows computers. Microsoft had a product called Systems Management Server but Altiris built a better product, so Microsoft built an even more robust solution called System Center Configuration Management server, or SCCM for short, and within a few years Altiris lost so much business they were acquired by Symantec. Other similar stories played out across other areas where each product competed with other vendors and sometimes market segments - and usually won. To a large degree this was because of the tight hold Windows had on the market. Microsoft had taken the desktop metaphor and seemed to own the entire stack by the end of the Windows XP era. However, the technology we used was a couple of years after the product management and product development teams started to build it. And by the end of the XP era, Bill Gates had been gone long enough, and many of the early stars that almost by pure will pushed products through development cycles were as well. Microsoft continued to release new versions of the operating systems but XP became one of the biggest competitors to later operating systems rather than other companies. This reluctance to move to Vista and other technologies was the main reason extended support for XP through to 2012, around 11 years after it was released.

"Let food by thy medicine..." We're not sure Hippocrates really said it, but whether he did or not, it's true. What we eat can promote health and healing and may help with fertility challenges. And few people have ever experienced serious side effects from a radish. Equally, inflammatory foods can make conceiving harder, so it's good to know what foods are often culprits. And because every body is different, it's also good to learn your body's language, so you understand what it's trying to tell you. In this episode, Ruby and Anne talk with Dr. Michelle Tollefsen about food, fertility, and overall wellness.  Dr. Michelle Tollefson is a board-certified obstetrician-gynecologist in Denver, CO, and a Professor in the Health Professions Department at Metropolitan State University of Denver where she created and oversees the Lifestyle Medicine Program and the Wellness Coaching and Lifestyle Medicine Pathway. And, be sure to check out the American College of Lifestyle Medicine's new course, Food as Medicine. Each session within the ACLM Food As Medicine course series builds on practical strategies that help health professionals use nutrition to treat and even reverse common chronic diseases. Led by foremost experts and backed by strong evidence, sessions also consider various life stages, scope of practice, and pharmaceutical implications.

Microsoft Windows 2000 was the successor to Windows NT 4.0, which had been released in 1997. Windows 2000 didn't have a code name (supposedly because Jim Allchin didn't like codenames), although its service packs did; Service Pack 1 and Windows 2000 64-bit were codenamed "Asteroid" and "Janus," respectively. 2000 began as NT 5.0 but Microsoft announced the name change in 1998, in a signal with when customer might expect the OS.  Some of the enhancements were just to match the look and feel of the consumer Windows 98 counterpart. For example, the logo in the boot screens was cleaned up and they added new icons.  Some found Windows 2000 to be more reliable, others claimed it didn't have enough new features. But what it might have lacked in features from a cursory glance, Windows 2000 made up for in stability, scalability, and reliability.  This time around, Microsoft had input from some of their larger partners. They released the operating system to partners in 1999, after releasing three release candidates or developer previews earlier that year. They needed to, if only so third parties could understand what items needed to be sold to customers. There were enough editions now, that it wasn't uncommon for resellers to have to call the licensing desk at a distributor (similar to a wholesaler for packaged goods) in order to figure out what line items the reseller needed to put on a bid, or estimate.  Reporters hailed it as the most stable product ever produced by Microsoft. It was also the most secure version. 2000 brought Group Policies forward from NT and enhanced what could be controlled from a central system. The old single line domain concept for managing domains was enhanced to become what Microsoft called Active Directory, a modern directory service that located resources in a database and allowed for finely grained controls of those resources. Windows 2000 also introduced NTFS 3, an Encrypted File System that was built on top of layers of APIs, each with their own controls.  Still, Windows 98 was the most popular operating system in the world by then and it was harder to move people to it than initially expected. Microsoft released Windows 98 Second Edition in 1999 and then Windows Millennium Edition, or Me, in 2000. Millennium was a flop and helped move more people into 2000, even though 2000 was marketed as a business or enterprise operating system.  Windows 2000 Professional was the workstation workhorse. Active Directory and other server services ran on Windows 2000 Server Edition. They also released Advanced Server and Datacenter Server for even more advanced environments, with Datacenter able to support up to 32 CPUs. Professional borrowed many features from both NT and 98 Second Edition, including the Outlook Express email client, expanded file system support, WebDAV support, Windows Media Player, WDM (Windows Driver Model), the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) for making it easier to manage those GPOs, support for new mass storage devices like Firewire, hibernation and passwords to wake up from hibernation, the System File Checker, new debugging options, better event logs, Windows Desktop Update (which gave us “Patch Tuesday”), a new Windows Installer, Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI), Plug and Play hardware (installing new hardware in Windows NT was a bit more like doing so in Unix than Windows 95), and all the transitions and animations of the Windows shell like an Explorer integrated with Internet Explorer.  Some of these features were abused. We got Code Red, Nimbda, and other malware that became high profile attacks against vulnerable binaries. These were unprecedented in terms of how quickly a flaw in the code could get abused en masse. Hundreds of thousands of computers could be infected in a matter of days with a well crafted exploit. Even some of the server services were exploited such as the IIS, or Internet Information Services server. Microsoft responded with security bulletins but buffer overflows and other vulnerabilities allows mass infections. So much so that the US and other governments got involved. This wasn't made any easier by the fact that the source code for parts of 2000 was leaked on the Internet and had been used to help find new exploits. Yet Windows 2000 was still the most secure operating system Microsoft had put out. Imagine how many viruses and exploits would have appeared on all those computers if it hadn't of been. And within Microsoft, Windows 2000 was a critical step toward mass adoption of the far more stable, technically sophisticated Windows NT platform. It demonstrated that a technologically powerful Windows operating system could also have a user-friendly interface and multimedia capabilities.

The first operating systems as we might think of them today (or at least anything beyond a basic task manager) shipped in the form of Multics in 1969. Some of the people who worked on that then helped created Unix at Bell Labs in 1971. Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, Unix flowed to education, research, and corporate environments through minicomputers and many in those environments thought a flavor of BSD, or Berkeley Software Distribution, might become the operating system of choice on microcomputers. But the microcomputer movement had a while other plan if only in spite of the elder minicomputers. Apple DOS was created in 1978 in a time when most companies who made computers had to mail their own DOS as well, if only so software developers could built disks capable of booting the machines. Microsoft created their Disk Operating System, or MS-DOS, in 1981. They proceeded to Windows 1 to sit on top of MS-DOS in 1985, which was built in Intel's 8086 assembler and called operating system services via interrupts. That led to poor programmers locking down points in order to access memory addresses and written assuming a single-user operating system. Then came Windows 2 in 1987, Windows 3 in 1992, and released one of the most anticipated operating systems of all time in 1995 with Windows 95. 95 turned into 98, and then Millineum in 2000. But in the meantime, Microsoft began work on another generation of operating systems based on a fusion of ideas between work they were doing with IBM, work architects had done at Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC), and rethinking all of it with modern foundations of APIs and layers of security sitting atop a kernel. Microsoft worked on OS/2 with IBM from 1985 to 1989. This was to be the IBM-blessed successor of the personal computer. But IBM was losing control of the PC market with the rise of cloned IBM architectures. IBM was also big, corporate, and the small, fledgeling Microsoft was able to move quicker. Really small companies that find success often don't mesh well with really big companies that have layers of bureaucracy. The people Microsoft originally worked with were nimble and moved quickly. The ones presiding over the massive sales and go to market efforts and the explosion in engineering team size was back to the old IBM. OS/2 had APIs for most everything the computer could do. This meant that programmers weren't just calling assembly any time they wanted and invading whatever memory addresses they wanted. They also wanted preemptive multitasking and threading. And a file system since by then computers had internal hard drives. The Microsoft and IBM relationship fell apart and Microsoft decided to go their own way. Microsoft realized that DOS was old and building on top of DOS was going to some day be a big, big problem. Windows 3 was closer, as was 95, so they continued on with that plan. But they started something similar to what we'd call a fork of OS/2 today. So Gates went out to recruit the best in the industry. He hired Dave Cutler from Digital Equipment to take on the architecture of the new operating system. Cutler had worked on the VMS operating system and helped lead efforts for next-generation operating system at DEC that they called MICA. And that moment began the march towards a new operating system called NT, which borrowed much of the best from VMS, Microsoft Windows, and OS/2 - and had little baggage. Microsoft was supposed to make version 3 of OS/2 but NT OS/2 3.0 would become just Windows NT when Microsoft stopped developing on OS/2. It took 12 years, because um, they had a loooooot of customers after the wild success of first Windows 3 and then Windows 95, but eventually Cutler and team's NT would replace all other operating systems in the family with the release of Windows 2000. Cutler wanted to escape the confines of what was by then the second largest computing company in the world. Cutler worked on VMS and RSX-12 before he got to Microsoft. There were constant turf battles and arguments about microkernels and system architecture and meetings weren't always conducive with actually shipping code. So Cutler went somewhere he could. At least, so long as they kept IBM at bay. Cutler brought some of the team from Digital with him and they got to work on that next generation of operating systems in 1988. They sat down to decide what they wanted to build, using the NS OS/2 operating system they had a starting point. Microsoft had sold Xenix and the team knew about most every operating system on the market at the time. They wanted a multi-user environment like a Unix. They wanted programming APIs, especially for networking, but different than what BSD had. In fact, many of the paths and structures of networking commands in Windows still harken back to emulating those structures. The system would be slow on the 8086 processor, but ever since the days of Xerox PARC, everyone knew Moore's Law was real and that the processors would double in speed every other year. Especially since Moore was still at Intel and could make his law remain true with the 286 and 386 chips in the pipeline. They also wanted the operating system to be portable since IBM selected the Intel CPU but there were plenty of other CPU architectures out there as well. The original name for NT was to be OS/2 3.0. But the IBM and Microsoft relationship fell apart and the two companies took their operating systems in different directions. OS/2 became went the direction of Warp and IBM never recovered. NT went in a direction where some ideas came over from Windows 95 or 3.1 but mostly the team just added layers of APIs and focused on making NT a fully 32-bit version of Windows that could that could be ported to other platforms including ARM, PowerPC, and the DEC Alpha that Cutler had exposure to from his days at Digital. The name became Windows NT and NT began with version 3, as it was in fact the third installment of OS/2. The team began with Cutler and a few others, grew to eight and by the time it finally shipped as NT 3.1 in 1993 there were a few hundred people working on the project. Where Windows 95 became the mass marketed operating system, NT took lessons learned from the Unix, IBM mainframe, and VMS worlds and packed them into an operating system that could run on a corporate desktop computer, as microcomputers were called by then. The project cost $150 million, about the same as the first iPhone. It was a rough start. But that core team and those who followed did what Apple couldn't in a time when a missing modern operating system nearly put Apple out of business. Cutler inspired, good managers drove teams forward, some bad managers left, other bad managers stayed, and in an almost agile development environment they managed to break through the conflicts and ship an operating system that didn't actually seem like it was built by a committee. Bill Gates knew the market and was patient enough to let NT 3 mature. They took the parts of OS/2 like LAN Manager. They took parts of Unix like ping. But those were at the application level. The microkernel was the most important part. And that was a small core team, like it always is. The first version they shipped to the public was Windows NT 3.1. The sales people found it easiest to often say that NT was the business-oriented operating system. Over time, the Windows NT series was slowly enlarged to become the company's general-purpose OS product line for all PCs, and thus Microsoft abandoned the Windows 9x family, which might or might not have a lot to do with the poor reviews Millennium Edition had. Other aspects of the application layer the original team didn't do much with included the GUI, which was much more similar to Windows 3.x. But based on great APIs they were able to move faster than most, especially in that era where Unix was in weird legal territory, changing hands from Bell to Novell, and BSD was also in dubious legal territory. The Linux kernel had been written in 1991 but wasn't yet a desktop-class operating system. So the remaining choices most business considered were really Mac, which had serious operating system issues at the time and seemed to lack a vision since Steve Jobs left the company, or Windows. Windows NT 3.5 was introduced in 1994, followed by 3.51 a year later. During those releases they shored up access control lists for files, functions, and services. Services being similar in nearly every way to a process in Unix. It sported a TCP/IP network stack but also NetBIOS for locating computers to establish a share and a file sharing stack in LAN Manager based on the Server Message Block, or SMB protocol that Barry Feigenbaum wrote at IBM in 1983 to turn a DOS computer into a file server. Over the years, Microsoft and 3COM add additional functionality and Microsoft added the full Samba with LDAP out of the University of Michigan as a backend and Kerberos (out of MIT) to provide single sign-on services. 3.51 also brought a lot of user-mode components from Windows 95. That included the Windows 95 common control library, which included the rich edit control, and a number of tools for developers. NT could run DOS software, now they were getting it to run Windows 95 software without sacrificing the security of the operating system where possible. It kinda' looked like a slightly more boring version of 95. And some of the features were a little harder to use, like configuring a SCSI driver to get a tape drive to work. But they got the ability to run Office 95 and it was the last version that ran the old Program Manager graphical interface. Cutler had been joined by Moshe Dunie, who led the management side of NT 3.1, through NT 4 and became the VP of the Windows Operating System Division so also had responsibility for Windows 98 and 2000. For perspective, that operating system group grew to include 3,000 badged Microsoft employees and about half that number of contractors. Mark Luovsky and Lou Perazzoli joined from Digital. Jim Alchin came in from Banyan Vines. Windows NT 4.0 was released in 1996, with a GUI very similar to Windows 95. NT 4 became the workhorse of the field that emerged for large deployments of computers we now refer to as enterprise computing. It didn't have all the animation-type bells and whistles of 95 but did perform about as well as any operating system could. It had the NT Explorer to browse files, a Start menu, for which many of us just clicked run and types cmd. It had a Windows Desktop Update and a task scheduler. They released a number of features that would take years for other vendors to catch up with. The DCOM, or Distributed Component Object Modeling and Object Linking & Embedding (or OLE) was a core aspect any developer had to learn. The Telephony API (or TAPI) allowed access to the modem. The Microsoft Transaction Server allowed developers to build network applications on their own sockets. The Crypto API allowed developers to encrypt information in their applications. The Microsoft Message Queuing service allowed queuing data transfer between services. They also built in DirectX support and already had OpenGL support. The Task Manager in NT 4 was like an awesome graphical version of the top command on Unix. And it came with Internet Explorer 2 built in. NT 4 would be followed by a series of service packs for 4 years before the next generation of operating system was ready. That was Windows 5, or more colloquially called Windows 2000. In those years NT became known as NT Workstation, the server became known as NT Server, they built out Terminal Server Edition in collaboration with Citrix. And across 6 service packs, NT became the standard in enterprise computing. IBM released OS/2 Warp version 4.52 in 2001, but never had even a fraction of the sales Microsoft did. By contrast, NT 5.1 became Windows XP and 6 became Vista in while OS/2 was cancelled in 2005.

Optimal Health Strategist Gunther Mueller has developed what he calls the 'Magnetic Mind Method." This means he helps people tap into our subconscious to create and manifest the life we've always wanted.=============================================Ari Gronich0:14Welcome back to another episode of creating a new tomorrow. I am your host Ari Gronich today with me is Gunther Mueller. And Gunther is a certified magnetic mind coach now, you know, I'm gonna let him explain that but 30 years of successfully being an entrepreneur, optimal health strategist, you have, you know, you have three kids alongside all the work that you've done, but you've actually taken and builds a business in three years to $20 million in the anti-aging, I believe, field, founded another company, you've bought and sold several companies. So today, we're going to talk a lot about not just the health and wellness, not just the mindset, but also kind of the deep and down and dirty parts of business a little bit. And I'm going to kind of take you on a journey today audience that hopefully will lead you into a place where you could go, Oh, yeah, I got this. And I can move ahead tomorrow, creating my new tomorrow, today. So anyway, Gunther, tell us a little bit about yourself.Gunther Mueller1:24Hey, Ari, thank you so much for having me on, create a new tomorrow. It's amazing to be here because the title of your show is completely in alignment with the information I'm passionate about sharing today. And hopefully the audience gets a lot out of this today. So a little bit about me and I grew up middle class in New York City, bolted out of there in 1984 to go skiing in Colorado and go to school out there because scheme was my thing and need to go ski the bigger mountains but you know, did the thing that you were supposed to do get good grades, go to college, you know, do that whole rigamarole thing. And then I became a professional ski bum for four years after college. So I lived in Vail, lived in a steamboat for a while and commercial fish in Alaska, worked on the Valdez oil spill. If anybody remembers what that was, I was in Prince William Sound for about 60 days, moving people around and equipment and things like that. And then I started my sales career basically in the 90s, selling meat and seafood door to door because I had experience in the seafood industry. You know, I knew what good stuff was. I built about 3000 customers in the Colorado mountainous region. This is the days before Sam's Club and before you know, Costco and all that.Ari Gronich2:41So I just want to say this. So when I was 17 and a half 18. And I'm just finishing up school, high school and rural Oregon. Right? Yeah, I was selling meat and seafood door to door in Oregon on the back of a truck with a freezer on the back of a truck just like a regular big old freezer, laying in the bed of a truck. And so. Gunther Mueller3:14Hey I did it for 10 years. And I loved it because I got to wear shorts and a golf shirt every day. And I had great customers all over the place and loved it. And then I turned it into an online company in 1998 and then sold that company to one of my suppliers. And then I got into the restaurant business for 14 years. I had about four restaurants that I managed and so food was kinda in my blood food distribution. I work for a we'll start up coffee roaster and then I created America's freshest coffee for the Schwann food company for a while. I went to go to the corporate gig as a regional vice president for them managed a million square mile territory did really well. But the corporate world was not of my liking or choosing. So I you know, get this entrepreneurial blood in my in my veins. And I think I got that from my mom, she know how to sell. She's a travel agent for 50 years, and just knew how to get people to go great places, right. And so then after that I've been in the solar industry did really well used to sell $4 million a month worth of solar panels. And then from solar. I got into the medical industry, which I've been in for over 10 years now. And that's where I created that company and about three years doing about 20 million a year and it was really changing the paradigm of medicine with your average ob-gyn and family practice doctor to optimize hormones and optimize nutrition instead of being so pharmaceutically based. I mean it was really a quantum shift in medicine for a lot of people I was really specialized in something called pellet therapy, which was getting hormones actually inserted into the body and it's you know, it's everywhere now, but when I did it 10 years ago, nobody knew what a pellet was. It was, so I was kind of one of the spear hitters of that therapy in the United States.Ari Gronich5:06Very cool. So nowadays, you know, you're not doing that exactly. You're, you're doing this thing called the magnetic mind. Right, coach. Now, I want to get into this a little bit. So how did you get started working with mind? How did mindset play a role in your sales? So I'm kind of doing a multi question here. So how did mindset play a role in your sales? How did you get into mindset? I know for a friend of mine, oh, he was with Xerox for a while, and they had Zig Ziglar, and all these sales training. So just kind of that background. And then what made that turn into what you're doing now? And how do you see this as kind of that next evolution? Gunther Mueller5:54Yeah, great question Ari, I love answering it. So what happened was in those days of selling meat and seafood, like I was always a true seeker, even from being a little kid, you know, I used to go walk by a church and think, oh, God lives there. You know what I mean? And but how does that all work out? What's the reality of the universe? Basically, I want to know how things work, right? And nobody really was able to answer it for me. And so in my days of selling meat and seafood door to door, my vehicle was my university, I listened to not the radio or pop music or anything, I listened to the greats like Zig Ziglar. You know, one of my favorite quotes from Zig Ziglar is you can have anything in life if you help enough other people get what they want. You know, and he was a great guy. And, you know, the Brian Tracy's of the world, the Tony Robbins of the world. Look, I what I'm here to share today, I did not create, right, I stand on the shoulders of giants, okay, who have investigated every aspect of personal development, human consciousness, you know, the whole quantum physical research over the last 40 years, there's so much science behind understanding the power that we have in our mind. But it all started with reading, thinking Grow Rich, it was one of the first books and it's the quintessential text, you know, in, let's call it getting what you want in life, or, you know, creating a new tomorrow, like, how do you do it, you know, you're living your life, and you want something different, you want something better. And we're gonna talk about that a little bit later. But you want something different, you want something better, there's a difference between the two ideas on so I started doing that one book after another one cassette tape after another really dating myself there, right? cassette tapes was the thing. And then the DVDs, and I used to drive 100, 200 miles a day. So all that education, all that content, all of that listening to a different way to think about things. And that kind of got embedded in my cellular structure from all those years of doing that. And today, I think the magnetic mind method is really a revolution in the personal development space. Because I'm at the place today to tell everyone that look, you're not broken. There's nothing for you to fix. And a lot of the history of the personal development movement has always been going back, to fix yourself to do something to get something right, something's broken inside of your personality, or something's broken in your being, and you have to fix it first in order to get what you want. I'm here today to tell everyone that we look we need to back out of the problem-solving reality and move into the creator stance. And the creator stances that power position. It's like, we need to remember who we truly are that we are connected to an infinite field of possibilities. And when we become consciously creative, we can create whatever situation reality manifest anything that we want. And this is backed up by science.Ari Gronich8:54So I'm gonna ask you, I'm gonna, I'm gonna go back a step. I'm gonna ask you a question you may not have heard before. So I started doing asked when I was eight, life spring, landmark forum, I mean, Cyworld, MIT. I've done so many of these self-improvement movement, workshops and programs and weekends and events and things. What I watch, what I observe, is about 90 so odd percent of the people go there are motivated for about two weeks to a month, and then it dies down. 5% start following the practices that they hear and maybe last a year or two or three until some trauma, gets them out of it. And then there's about 4%, right, that really buy in and get the information and then about 1% or so. This is being this is just my statistics and my, my, what I've watched that actually like live, the information that they've been taught. So here's my question to you. You have done all of these things. And you've taken it. And you've actually become I don't know which percentage but one of the 10, let's say, part of that 10% of the people, right? What makes you have that ability versus say, somebody else? What do you think is the difference between what you were able to do with the information and technology and experiences that you received? That you think the 90% of people who don't ever shift haven't gotten? What do you think that break is that delineation?Gunther Mueller10:55The break is truly listening to your own voice inside your head, okay, because especially today in the era of social media, we are so enamored or concerned with what other people think. I mean, it's getting to the point of ridiculousness, where our self-esteem if we don't look out for it is really coming from what other people do, do they like us, do they share us, do they do this kind of thing, right? And so back that when you asked me that question, the first thing that pops up in my mind is, I have had the ability to listen to my own voice. Now, I'm not saying that everything that I've done has been successful. Look, the path to success is laced with failure. And it's in failure, that you learn the most important lessons, if you had nothing but success in life, you would not be very seasoned, you would not be very skilled, you would not be very proficient in anything. It's through failure, it's through challenge. And this is really the human experience. A lot of people will say, look, I'd like to have a life with just no problems. I'm telling you, you'd be bored out of your mind, if you had no problems, okay? If there were no challenges, no problems, nothing to deal with in life, you would be bored out of your skull. That's just not why we're here as human beings, we're going to have this human experience. Now the beautiful place to be is to be consciously creative to kind of be an observer of what's going on, you know, an airplane at 30. 40,000 feet can see the landscape, right. And when you have that observer mentality, but this takes some practice, this takes some training, right? They don't teach it in school, they don't teach it in college, most of your parents don't teach it to their kids. Unless you become a hungry seeker to a degree and find this out for yourself and your percentages, I agree with so many people get information, they get knowledge. But look, the power is in the knowledge applied. You can go course after course, book after book, seminar, after seminar, do all these retreats, do all kinds of thing, like you said, you feel good for about a month. And then you just forget because you have not applied. And so then the second piece, listening to your own inner voice, because look, you know what if your desires are, let's call it God's plan for your life. What if those desires, What if those things that voice that's trying to speak to you is the directional signal in your life, and you keep ignoring it, you don't listen to it, you never take any time, you've got noise blaring at you all the time, and you never listen to the little voice that's inside and then trusted enough to follow it and not worry so much about what others may think of you. Correct? That's one of the key points right there.Ari Gronich13:51I'm pondering that because there's definitely a level of truth to I think that people go home after getting motivated. And then, you know, somebody says, Well, that wasn't probably what you know, like, or that's not going to work or that's not you know, that you get excited about what you're doing. So I can understand that. I think it goes a little deeper into the depths of the psyche, though. So that concept that you've stated of worrying about what other people think of you, right? goes deeper. So let's drop down into a deeper level of that.Gunther Mueller14:33Love it. So to go deeper is that we all have some self-sabotaging identities that we have acquired through this, let's call it the life stream of this life. And it really is impactful from like zero to seven years old, you know, the data and the science tells us that that's when we just really have an open mind. And we are trying to figure out how it is here. We're trying to figure out You know how to get love. We're trying to figure out how to get nourishment. We're trying to figure out how to get a safe place to sleep. We're trying to figure out how to get what we want, when we're in that stage of development. And so we make certain decisions about life about how it is here. That's all it is. It's just we're trying to figure out what's it like here? And how do I survive. And so if you have abuse, or if you have trauma, or you have some episodes in your life that are unpleasing, the human reality is that we avoid pain. And we move to pleasure. But we avoid pain, a hell of a lot more than we move to pleasure. So what the reality is, is mediocrity becomes okay. Because it's not painful, right? It's just tight, I'm not in excruciating pain. I'm not in a, you know, ecstasy or pleasure. So I am okay with mediocrity. And the part of our mind, we have the conscious mind, the subconscious mind, and what I'm going to introduce to you is the superconscious mind, and there's different names for that, but we like to call it the superconscious. In the subconscious programming, we have put things in there to prevent pain or to keep us safe. And the job of the egoic mind that conscious mind is to maintain the status quo. The conscious mind does not like change, because it knows how to navigate what is successfully. Right. And so some of the sabotaging identities that we pick up through a lifetime of experience, is things like I'm not good enough. I'm not worthy. I'm not capable, meaning I don't know enough, I'm not. This is an example of someone that never gets out of school. And they continually go for the next degree and the next degree in the next degree, right? I'm not, I'm just not capable of any one more thing. And then I'll be okay. I'm insignificant, I'm small, I'm not big enough, right, I'm insignificant, I'm not perfect. Many of us have this perfectionist stream in our mind can't do that, till I perfect this, this has to be just absolutely perfect before I get what I want. And then another big one is I don't belong; this is what we just talked about is this belonging. And it's okay to belong, it's okay to have a great tribe and a cool group of people, but you still have to be you. And so in light of the probably the top six self-sabotaging identities, and everybody has one or two of them, or all six of them in different degrees that we've incorporated into our subconscious program. And I want, I want you to be thinking about the subconscious like Windows 10 on your computer, okay, when you turn on your computer, Windows 10, boots up, the thing just runs, you don't know how it's running, you don't know the code, you don't know anything like every once in a while an update gets sent to Windows NT update, and you restart. And now the program is different than it was before. So we have to do the same thing to our subconscious program, because it's running completely unconsciously. And we put things in there to keep us safe. So when we when I say we need to step out of the problem solving reality, and take the creator stance, most of the audience is saying probably what does he mean by that? Right? What do you mean by a creative stance? Let me give you four examples of what I'm going to call true choices. And…Ari Gronich18:16First let's go through what problem solving is. Right? And then we'll go into that because we've gone through an automatic response system, which is your conscience, right.Gunther Mueller18:31So problem solving is what we've always been trained to do. We want what we want. So how do we get what we want? So the problem is to figure out a way to get what we want, and we do it consciously.Ari Gronich18:45So you're saying that the problem is wanting something that we don't have?Gunther Mueller18:51Yeah, but that's not the problem. Your desire, your desire is totally fine. You can desire and want whatever you want. That's not the wrong part. The part is that we've been trained to figure out in our conscious mind, how to solve the problem of not having it. Right. One having it is not the problem. It's the way we go about getting it anything comes the problem. So to think about goal setting, right? We've been taught to set SMART goals, and you got to have a date on it. You got to be clear about what you want. And then there's 5, 6, 10 steps or whatever to get what you want. And those things have to happen by a certain date. So when you do a SMART goal, you have in your own conscious mind figured out how it needs to happen. You have allowed no space for the field of infinite possibilities to provide the solution to you in some let's call it magical way. Okay, so you've spent your conscious energy your mind solving the problem. Let's take the idea of abundance, financial abundance. Right. Let's create a new tomorrow. And my two choices, I want to have the experience of having more than enough. I just want this experience of financial abundance and abundance in all aspects of my life. That's my true choice. I just always want to be in the experience of having more than enough. Well, how do I do that? Being in the entrepreneurial world, I deal with a lot of entrepreneurs that have decided or chosen that they need a big successful business in order to have that. And I always have to put the brakes on a little bit and say, Look, the business may not be the true choice. What your true choice is, is you want to have the experience of abundance. Having a successful business made give you the experience of massive struggle, okay, if you don't start a business, having the end in mind, you will get to a completed business that potentially you might hate it, you might not want, it may dominate your life. I mean, how many business owners are there where the business owns them? They don't own the business. Right? So be careful what you ask for Be careful what you wish for. Because if you do it in that problem-solving thing, you're looking at it from a field of limited possibilities. And when I say step out of the problem-solving thing, it's focusing on what you want, not on how it's going to show up, not on how it's going to manifest not on the how to how truly is up to the infinite field and the superconscious. Because look, abundance could happen by finding $100 million in a suitcase on the street. You could find it floating in the ocean, you want. And when we talk about infinite possibilities, I mean, infinite possibilities, whatever your imagination could imagine, and how abundance could show up for you. It's possible. But our conscious mind rationally goes in and say, Well, if you have these sabotaging identities, they're well, I'm not worthy of that that's never gonna happen to me, or I'm not good enough. That can never happen to me or I don't have enough knowledge. I don't have this. I'm insignificant, too small. I would never find that suitcase. Like, I'm just not lucky. You know what I mean? Like I do, I've walked right by the suitcase, and I'd miss it. And I would never find it right. So the programming and the tape that's running in that subconscious mind really rules the day. And so did I answer your question about what I mean by problem solving?Ari Gronich22:30Yes. And I just want to kind of get into what I heard was Basic Law of Attraction, right? So going to the experience that you want to experience, you know, whether it's visioning and feeling all the feelings of the perfect day or all, you know, those kinds of things. So that's cool. Because obviously, I want to experience the abundance of life fully, never needing or wanting anything, just everything is available at all times. Right. Now, the key thing that I believe was missing from the law of attraction was the step of action. Now, within what you just said, the confines of what you said is, we're not doing the SMART goal where we're creating the necessary actions from a problem solving point of view, we're going into the infinite. How does one get to the action side from that place?Gunther Mueller23:31So that's the fifth step in the five-step magnetic mind method. So it's the last thing we do? And we asked the question, okay, what is the next obvious action? And that you're right, that's where the secret, you know, great shows and opening the mind to a lot of possibilities and the power of the mind. And why I always like to say is the law of attraction, the secret is trying to solve the problem from the conscious mind. So this is where affirmation is. And I'm not saying they're wrong. And I'm not saying they don't work. They just take time. And they take that discipline, as you said in the beginning, right? People feel great for a month and they do it, and then it Peters off. Why is that? Because they don't see instantaneous results. Which is another concept I just want to throw in here as a seasoning real quick is the idea of as soon as possible. You see when you use a SMART goal, and you put a date on it, and the date goes by and it didn't happen. What most people do. Give up, or quit. Oh, well, didn't happen. I guess goal setting must not be for me. Goal setting doesn't work for me. Right? I tried, it doesn't work. So take any of the great personalities that we look to an Elan musk or you know, Prince or Madonna or you know, any of these celebrity type people that we look at. You think they have ever had to pick themselves up and try again, and try again, and keep going. Keep going for what they loved. Kept going like you look at Richard Branson, right? Just the other day he got into space. I mean, how long is that dream been manifesting, for him, of putting together all the engineers and you know, the concept laced with failure. And he's does other things and he's failed just as much as he succeeded in his life, maybe even failed a little bit more than he's succeeded, right. Way more. And he is not a perfect personality, right? If you got to know any of these people, they are not perfect beings in every aspect of their life, there is not, but they went after what they love to do, they went after that desire and focused on nothing else, you know, taken Oprah Winfrey or something like that, you know, built her media empire, she focused on what she loved, and she had perfect human, the perfect individual of No. And that's where this whole idea of perfection and all that comes in these things, we just have to let go. Right. That you have to let these things go. And there's a process to doing that. But when we try to solve the problem from the conscious mind, we're bumping into that subconscious programming. And what I'm going to share with you is how we go from the superconscious side, we just send an update to the subconscious, we do that with something called recode. Where we go in, we send an update, and we don't need to know what the problem was, we don't need to know what created the problem. We don't need to know if it was mommy or daddy or a teacher or some other situation going on. Right?Ari Gronich26:27So this sounds very different than, say, a bug fix for a software update, where when you go through the update, now all of a sudden, all the programs start acting wonky, you know, and then you get the blue screen of death. So we don't want to have the blue screen of death with our with our upgrades, right? We want to have the bugs, you know, eliminated. So how do we do the difference between those two, right? How do we get the upgrade to be smooth?Gunther Mueller26:59We do that because you're super conscious self, this highest version of yourself that is connected to the field, the infinite field and a great book to read on the field as Lynne McTaggart book just called the field. So much research has been done. We as human individuations are all part of this field, whether you're conscious of it or not. Okay, you're connected. And we are all connected. And if you look into the science, you look at all the experiments that have happened, we've proven this the field exists. So we're just going to take that as a given for the moment. If you don't believe me, you don't trust me, do your own research, dig in, right? got the field. And so we're connected into the field. So when you go to the superconscious level superconscious already knows what's happened in the past superconscious already knows all the connections knows all the dynamics. And when we do read code, we're basically asking for what we want. We say superconscious do you see the desire? Do you see the true choice? Do you see these two choices of experiencing infinite abundance? And when you connect into the field superconscious will respond usually in Yes, no answers. That's why you always ask questions in the yes and no type field, right? And, yeah, I see it. And then we go through a process of creating a structural tension, where the tension because the mind likes to resolve tension. And it likes to do it in a way that it's the path of least resistance. And so resistance is really the thing that keeps us from having what we want. And it is the identity structure that is congruent with the current reality. So Principle number one really is we have to take responsibility for the way it is now. And that's probably a big stepping stone that many people may have to get over. And that you I want to say this, you know, I say I'm gonna teach you how to become superconscious The truth is you already are. And you've already created everything that you're experiencing right now. So you are already a superconscious great, and now you just created some stuff that you might not like.Ari Gronich29:06I want to go back a little bit so you had said something regarding I just had it in my head a second ago. It was I love that I can edit these videos. It's so nice. Alright, keep going and I'll get back to it.Gunther Mueller29:32So we were on this track. Now I lost the track while we were talking aboutAri Gronich29:38Superconscious. Talking about superconscious going from above. Oh, I know what it was. So resistance. So I have a little bit different take on the resistance. Sustained resistance is what stops you. spurts of resistance are what drive you forward. And I'll tell you what I mean by that is the resistance in a lobster shell is what makes them want to go get another show. Right? It's that uncomfortable place that launches them into that next place. And so that's where I just want to, I want to delineate, at least for me, if thing is sustained resistance, if you let the resistance go, if you never change the shell, and you just keep building the resistance, yes, that is going to stop change. For me, the resistance is the signal that says change is needed now. And let's do that.Gunther Mueller30:32So I would equate that piece that you're saying that that is the true choice. That is the desire when you get to that place. And you've been, let's say, living this Groundhog Day reality, because there's only three places we can be, we can be stuck. We can be what we call oscillating, oscillating feels like three steps forward, two steps back one step forward, one step back, right, we're oscillating all we can be in a flow state flows, where we turn thoughts into things, and anybody that's done any high level athletics or anything like that are seeing the interviews with top athletes, they get into the zone. And they can make that three-point shot because they've done it a million times before and they're just in that zone, it just Swish, right? That's the zone feeling. And we can do that in our lives where we just turn thoughts desires into things. And I want to touch on this real quick. Well, how does that happen? As manifestation happened? The idea is, is that you're actually collapsing a part of the field into the present moment experience. So of the field of infinite possibilities, we're focusing on one possibility, with consistency. And the field actually collapses into the present moment. This is manifestation, this is how it happens. And it's photons is the smallest particles in the quantum physical reality. And the experiments that have proven This is that the particles don't even exist until the scientist intends to observe them. Meaning that the particle shows up for the experiment, when the observer intends to measure it, accelerate it, do whatever they're going to do with it to test it out. That's when the particle actually shows up. So the same thing happens in our manifestation. And when we have a true choice, we have a true desire. And we're focusing on that not trying to solve the problem, but we're focused on what we want. And we recode the resistance out of the way from the superconscious level, that true choice shows up as soon as possible. I'm not saying it's going to show up tomorrow.Ari Gronich32:40Got it. So that's where the as soon as possible comes in from the SMART goals. So we've kind of wrapped around. So let's get into that that as well. When we say something like, as soon as possible, kind of like one of the things that I say is how can it get any better than this? It's an open-ended question, right? That has no specifics to it, that allows the conscious mind to solve its own problem. Right. So here's the here's the question to you is, isn't that problem solving? Or is that something else? Gunther Mueller33:18Well, I was just going to stop and say it's not the conscious mind doing the problem solving when we're doing what we're doing is we're just asking superconscious to recognize the resistance, it's back to the resistant your piece of resistance, I would equate to being the true choice and the desire, that sustained resistance is the sabotaging identity. Okay, that's what creates the oscillating. And it just feels like you know, many times I've had what I wanted, I've been there. It's like, when I've created companies, I get there to the end, I have it life's good. Got the cash flow, get everything. There's still something missing. I wasn't really clear enough about what I want here. So my self-sabotaging reality was I could create anything I could build stuff. My thing was, I wasn't good enough to keep it. Yeah, I was great. I was creator, I could do this. I could build anything. But then when it was completely built and humming and running, you got taken away from me, or something happened and it cratered. But that's the underlying identity. Because the identity has to be congruent with the reality. If your identity never changes from like, I'm not good enough to I am good enough. I am capable, I am worthy. If that never changes, you can create a bunch of things and they won't sustain this happens in relationships. This happens, you know, in intimate love relationships, like you get there. It's the best thing in the world and the whole thing, just craters and goes away and you got to start over. What is that? Right That's what we're talking about here. So that resistance is in the center. unconscious program, it is a self-sabotaging identity. And so we can create it through affirmation and conscious work and all that. But it takes a long time to do that. And it takes diligent effort on our part to do it consistently. And so why I think the magAri Gronich35:18We're a fast food nation. So you know, that's been, you know, when I look at cognitive behavioral therapy, and the old paradigm of trauma work, I look at this long process, lifelong process of question and discovery, as to why your mind feels a certain way about a certain thing. I mean, I was seven when I was sent to my first psychologist, right. And I look at that as such a primitive way of doing therapy. Whereas, like, back in the, in the day, you know, tribal societies used plant medicines, and used tribal and cultural togetherness, deal with people's stuff. So let's accelerate what you're talking about. So we're going to accelerate from this old paradigm of subconscious moving things. So we're going to go to the superconscious and accelerate things. What does that look like?Gunther Mueller36:25Yeah, so I'm going to share that. But I don't want to say like everything that's been is not bad. Okay. We do the best we know how to do with what we know. And seven-year-old ongoing see the psychotherapist and he says the best that maybe your parents or whoever you had to do at the time, those were the tools, right? So think of everything is huge evolution that's happening. And this is awakening to the place that we're at today. And today, we have something called the magnetic mind method where, you know, what if it could be easy, what if it doesn't take 10 years of psychotherapy to figure out why I am the way that I am, and why I can't have what I want, or I get what I want, and it gets taken away. So when we go to superconscious, superconscious already knows. And we don't need to spend all that time digging in and asking the questions and figuring out where the connections were and where the misalignments were in Well, you know, I thought something but it wasn't really true. And I had, I gotta straighten all this out. superconscious can straighten that out in a blink, just because it already knows and you don't have we don't have to tell it any of the details, all we have to do is focus on what we want. And it's really the experience of what we want. So you mentioned earlier about, you know, getting into the emotions, getting into the emotion of the end result is step three, and the five step method because, you know, Einstein said, Look, there's only two things in the universe, there's information and there's energy, the information is the desire, the what, what do I want, okay. And the energy is the emotion. And it's like a holographic movie that when those two things come together, it's actually how a hologram is created. Okay, the energy and the information come together and shoot the manifests a hologram. So think of your life as like a holographic movie, where you are manifesting, you are, things are showing up in real time. And think of yourself for a second, as you're the director, you're the producer, you're the screenwriter, you've handed everybody their parts, and everything is happening, not to you, but for you to have the experience that's congruent with your identity. So you get treated by the characters, you know, as Shakespeare said, you know, all the world's a stage, and we're just actors on it, right? But you're the main guy, even in a movie, imagine walking into the screen and you becoming the main character. And when you look at some movies or series or something like that, some characters get written out a script. Right, they die off something terrible happens, they no longer exist. And the whole dynamic of the movie changes Think of your life in that way. The people that are there the circumstances, the conditions, the what is now is just what is. And when we focus on something else. And is the key point here also, we can focus on the problem, we can focus on how to fix the problem, and try to create, invent or figure out how to solve the problem. But what we focus on grows. So the more we focus on the actual problem, the bigger the problem sometimes gets. That's where we have to back out of that go into the creator stance and focus on what we would love focus on what we would just purely want. And that's how you know you have a true choice. If I asked you why do you want what you want? And you give me an answer and it sounds like a stepping stone on to something else. As a coach, I'm going to tell you that's not really the true choice because you're choosing something to get something else we have to get to the final end result. So I want to share just four creative stances with you real quick, to give you the perspective, a good creator stance is something like I choose to live my true nature and purpose. I just choose it. I choose to live my true nature and purpose because I'm going to tell you the only power that we really have in life is the power of choice. Think about it from the moment you wake up in the morning, what time do I get up? What are we going to wear, when we're going to go, we're going to drive, I'm going to take a bus, you know, when am I going to take lunch, it's a series of choices. And every choice has a result, or call it a consequence, right? So I choose to live my true nature and purpose. Another one is I choose to be the predominant creative force in my life.Gunther Mueller0:00I choose to live the life that I love. And this comes in alignment with your actions, right? The person that is living a life that they love, or this imaginative person that you see right now living a life that they love and the desire with that emotion of the end result, you're seeing the life that you love. What would you be doing right now, that's in alignment with that true choice. The action has to become an alignment, the identity needs to shift, but the actions have to be in alignment with their true choice. In other words, I choose to be healthy and vital. You know, the health issues we have going on in this country in the world and all that, you know, when your body is not working, and supporting you in the life that you love, it's a problem, you don't get to do the things that you love to do, because your body's not cooperating. So having a true choice, and I choose to be healthy and vital. And so let's just take a serious condition right now, if you're dealing with cancer of some level, the two choice is not to be cancer. The true choice is to be healthy and vital to have the experience. It's not the problem solving of how do I beat cancer? What therapy Do I need to beat cancer and all that the mindset shift needs to be creative and say, I choose infinite health and vitality? And what would it feel like to be infinitely healthy and vital. And you get into that stance? Because I'm going to tell you that everything that's ever been created, has been created twice, once in the mind. And once in a three-dimensional physical experience.Ari Gronich1:31Yeah, you know, it's funny, because I watched a lot of Jim Rohn stuff. And one of the things that Jim Rohn says is, is you wouldn't build a hotel until it was done. Right. You wouldn't build the thing until you had the blueprints until it was done. In your mind. If you just started to build something, you had brick, and you didn't know what you were building, people would ask you, you know, what are you building? I don't know, I'm just putting bricks together and they'd send you away. You know, he's like we are human beings are the one species that can program in and pre plan and choose what they're going to create. And…Gunther Mueller2:19sees are on instinct right. They're instinctual beings. Right? We have this creativeness. And if you ever read scripture in the beginning, I mean, it starts out right in the beginning says we were created in the image of the Creator. And so if we were in the image of the Creator, what are we? We are creative?Ari Gronich2:40I mean, if you're religious and believe that that is the line, absolutely. If you're not religious, and you don't believe that that's the line in a book, that means anything, it's still we create our kids, right? We create our imagination; I tell people on this show a lot. Like, we made this shit up. This is all a figment of our imagination. All of it, every single thing that we see here, taste do, everything is a figment of our imagination.Gunther Mueller3:17And the science backs that up. Our thoughts are perceptions and illusory, they're illusion, our emotions are illusion, they're not real. Okay, we make you sad. It's a simply we make this shit up, we create the reality we experience. And that's why you already are a superconscious creator. And all we have to do is what are you focused on? Are you focused on solving the problem to get what you want? Or do you really take back your power as a creator and choose to be the predominant creative force in my life? Ari Gronich3:56So we're gonna go back to your sales background a little bit, okay? Is what you just said? Ring a picture in my head of a billboard with a sign that says buy something to do something to get somewhere, right? So people are watching social media, advertising, how do they even know what is their true choice? How would they how would you even at this level, in this day and age, right, the bombardment of information and problems and stuff, right? How does somebody get to what that true choice is and while avoiding the noise of the sales of that advertisingGunther Mueller4:52Great question, because that is step one. In the five step magnetic mines. How do you choose a true choice? How do you actually get to it? And a true choice. The simple answer is if I asked you like, give me something you would just love. Give me something you would just really want. What's something?Ari Gronich5:09I'll just go to the, you know, question that life spring always or landmark always asked is chocolate or vanilla? Okay, for ice cream, like, what do you choose, chocolate or vanilla. Gunther Mueller5:21Choice of chocolate or vanilla or the choice of chocolate? Doesn't really doesn't matter. One day, I'll choose chocolate one day, I'll choose vanilla, because I like variety. Right? Okay, so that but that choice doesn't have any consequences. Right? So let's say let's say somebody chooses, let's take it in business, right? Um, you know, be like, Ari if you're coaching them are those on the show today, I got to start this business because I'm sick and tired of my nine to five job and I'm tired of my boss, I want to work for myself, you know, and they've seen the glitz on social media of people who've made it big, and they're driving lambos and stuff like that, you know, and you're just like, I want that, I want that. But the only way I'm going to get that I'm not going to get that at my job doing what I'm doing right now. Because my boss is cheap, and he's never gonna pay me more. I'm not getting paid what I want, what I'm worth, you hear the story that goes on mouth is a story, right? And so they would come to a coach like myself or like you, right? And we'd be like, well, I'm gonna do this, I need help doing this. And I'm gonna ask the question, Well, why do you want that? And if the answer is not just because I want it, it's not a true choice. If the answer becomes I want it, because when I have it, then I can be this or I can get that or it can become something else. Or it gets me to another place, then that thing that you just told me you wanted is not the true choice. It's just a stepping stone on to what you really want. So a true choice gets answered with I want it just because I would love to experience that. I want it just because I want it my being my desire, I just want that. I don't care what anybody else thinks. I don't get anybody else's input, whether it's a good choice, bad doesn't matter. I want it because I want to experience it experience is a very important thing. Because it's maybe not be a thing. It may not be something, it may be just an experience, like infinite abundance, or, you know, optimal vital health. Right?Ari Gronich7:30So true choice. I still, and I just want you to go deeper, I guess into it. I still see. Let's say I want joy, I want infinite joy. I want to experience joy at will. Gunther MuellerWhy do you want that? Why do you want to experience joy? On an infinite level? Ari GronichRight? That's what I'm saying is like, if somebody's saying that there's, at least in my case, it would be cuz I don't, but it would be. I haven't experienced enough joy in my life. So I want to experience at will the experience of joy. I love watching joy when I watch American Idol and I see somebody win. And they're just like, sheer joy. I want that. Right? It never, it never seems like a true choice. Because there's always is an outside perspective or an outside. If it's something I have not experienced, right, then it's outside of me. It's something I've been told would be good, right?Gunther Mueller8:35Your key right there, it's something I've been told would be good. And I should go do that. I should want that. That would be good for me. Someone else said. And then somebody else says that somebody else says somebody else says because all these somebody else's said it, it must be true. And it's not. So that's why coming into two choices and exercise that I do. It's called seven levels deep. And so you say the first thing that you really want, whatever it is, and I'm gonna ask you. So when you get that, what does that give you? Well, what do you get when you get that? What does that do for you? You say? Well, when I get that, I'm going to get this and it goes down to the next level. Okay, so when you get that, what does that do for you? But what do you get when you get that? Well, when I have that, then it's going to give me this. Okay, take that down. You have to third level now, right? You do that for seven levels deep. I want this because it gets me that then well, why do you want this? Well, because when I have this I can have that. And when I have this then I can have that and he push it down about seven levels and when you get down to the very bottom, and a lot of times you need a coach to do this because people will immediately say I don't know. And a coach will be like you do know you are connected to your infinite field that infinite consciousness. You do know, there's an aspect there's a resistance of you that doesn't want to recognize that, you know, because there may be a latent fear there, there may be something there that's blocking that, that real connection. And so it's a great exercise to go seven levels deep and Okay, so I say I want this thing, what do I want that? Okay, when I get that was like, What do I want that and you take it all the way down, that's how you get what I really want, is the experience of freedom. And no one ever getting to tell me what the hell to do. That's what I really want. Freedom, like for me is one of the operative words that have pushed me through life is the word freedom. And I was when I was in Alaska, I was working on a boat called the Born Free. no coincidence. Okay, the Born Free. And that's I identified with that name right away, like I am born free. It's not a I choose to statement like I knew it my consciousness that I am born free, free to choose what I want, when I want, who I want to do it with how much of it I want to do, it's me. And some people will flip that around while you just being selfish. No, it's in that same vein, that I can help whoever I want, I can provide for whoever I want, I can do all things with that type of freedom. And so when you look at the human desires of what it is we truly want, and you do a seven levels, deep exercise like that, I can tell you're going to get to the nitty gritty of what it is you really want. And that leads me to the two most important questions in life, which is Who are you? Who is it that you say you are? How do you operate? you operate with honesty, integrity, you know, things like that, like how do you I want to give you all the words, but how do you describe who is it that you say you are Who are you? And most of us have not spent any time contemplating that question, Who am I really Who am I? And then the second question is, what do I want, based on who I am what do I want. And all the social media, all the noise, all the influence from parent's school programming, peer pressure, whatever you want to call it, all that noise needs to cease for a moment, or lots of moments. So that you can actually get into your own being and understand what it is you truly would choose just because you would love it. See, we've never been given the opportunity in our programming really, to choose from a place of love. We choose from a place of elimination, sometimes, well, I got three crappy choices. Okay, so get rid of that one, get rid of that, I guess I choose that we choose by default, because we don't see any other choices, I don't have any. So I got to do that. And we choose by consensus. Before I make a decision, let me check with everybody and make sure everybody's gonna be on board with my decision. That's not a true choice. Where the fear is, if I choose something, my friends don't agree with me, I'm gonna lose my friends. That's fear. Right? So be conscious, observe how you choose what you choose. And that's a practice also, that's something that we just have to become conscious of? And what is our motivation? What are we really? Why do we want what we want? Is it to impress others? Is it to be liked? is it to have this feeling of belonging? is it to have this feeling of significance or being capable or admired, or to be beautiful or to be whatever, right? Whatever that desire is, it's a process of becoming conscious now, we don't have to go back and unravel everything because we are not broken. What is, is, and this is another key point I want to share the future will not be better. Many of us to say my life will be better when, my life will be better when this happens, or that happens when I get this, then I'll be able to do that. And everything is contingent on the future showing up. That's not how you create because the future is not going to be better because you are still going to be you in the future. Okay, what's it's just going to be different. And if we can just hold that thought for a second, the future is not going to be better. It's just going to be a different experience. And what I'm experiencing right now is just what is it's not bad. It's not horrible, because we just naturally our conscious mind like to throw labels on stuff. This suck. That's bad. That's wrong da da da.., right? And I want this because it's gonna be better. It's not going to be better. It's just going to be different experience than what is now If we can hold that for a second, we can achieve a level of contentment in the present moment, we can just be okay with what is. And we can just observe the current reality. And what is right now as just that is just what is and I choose something different. The feel the feel the difference of that it's not a half two, it's not anything like that it's I want, I just, I'm okay with where I am right now. It's just what it is. I created it all anyway. And I'm just choosing a different experience.Ari Gronich15:37Right. So that kind of ties into the Create a new tomorrow, you know, ideal is, as we started off with at the beginning of this is how to create a new tomorrow today. How do we? How do we get out of our own way? How do we, you know, stop the madness, you and I started before we hit record, we started talking about kind of what's going on in the world. I mean, the president of Haiti was assassinated, we've got the Cuba stuff going on, we got all of this madness around us. And the way that I always see have seen it is when the madness is happening around me, the only way for me to be the eye is for me to go inside. And outwardly focus from within my energy so that I'm pushing at the hurricane, so to speak versus and I'm in the eye instead of being in in the storm. But and obviously that works. Sometimes it doesn't work others, that's just the visual that I have. But we were talking about this, like, how does somebody get out of this place of madness that they're in? Whether it's web site, I don't care if the political or religious or scientific spectrum or cultural spectrum? It's everywhere right now. It's like, it's like a furnace has been lit. And and it's building pressure, right? I think something like we're in a pressure cooker. Yeah, let's talk about how do we let the steam out of the pressure cooker a little bit and then pop the top. So we're not in it? And do that in a safe way. But, you know, like, how do we get to that place from where we're at? Because what you're talking about feels very idealistic. I want to take it out of the idealism and into realism into how can somebody how can we do this? Now? How can we be in this?Gunther Mueller17:45So the idea, let's take the analogy of the pressure cooker. What if you do not have to reduce the pressure? But what if you can exist within the pressure and not be affected by the pressure?Ari Gronich18:04I guess that that's how I feel within like that I have a hurricane. Right?Gunther Mueller18:10It's a great visual, it is a great visual because there is infinite calm in the eye of the hurricane. To the left, there's chaos to the right, there's chaos, stuff blowing up, getting knocked down over here, stuff blowing up and knocked out over there. But in the middle, no wind, no storm in the eye could even be sunny in the middle of the hurricane. You know, it's like this whole Sun comes through and beautiful day. But the Hurricanes moving right. So the idealism, it only seems ideal, because it's a new concept. And just as asked was a new concept, you know, 30 years ago, that kind of thing, right? And rebirthing, we talked about that offline to so many techniques and things like that, to what to help us feel better. That's really what the human experience is, we want to just feel better. We want, we want what we want, which is to sum it up, less pain, more satisfaction, we want less pain and more satisfaction, you can throw the words meaning fulfillment in there. And what we talked about offline briefly was this pressure cooker feeling is like I described as people I think are getting to the point globally. Now. You mentioned all the places where there's unrest and problems going on. They are tired. They've had enough of not having enough. And I've always thought this look when you have nothing to lose. You have nothing to lose. And so you're going for it all because the current situation is not worth maintaining anymore. There's nothing in it anymore. It's painful, is gotten to the point where the pain of that existence. It is time to do something about it. But again, if you look at the world, they're solving it from the problem-solving real reality, we need to overthrow the dictator, we need to get a new government, we need to be left or right, we need to do this we the problem solving is there. So to answer your question that you asked me earlier a little bit, I wanted to inject the idea of we need to be it in order to see it. And the personal development movement have had has had that switched around a little bit, that as we start seeing results, we can be more that of that thing, right? I get when I have a billion dollars, I can be generous, right? So I need to create all this stuff. I gotta be a billionaire. And then I'll be able to, you know, be generous, like, if you're not generous now, in the current situation, you will not be generous. how many billionaires Do you know, I don't know that many of them. But I've heard of, and I read their stories, right? They're in fear of losing what it is they have. They don't have the bliss and the peacefulness and the calm in their life, and the experience that most of us really want or the freedom, okay, and we think that Oh, being that person like, the responsibility that comes with that position, the number of people that are trying to take your stuff, when you're in that position, the attacks that are coming at you, we think, oh, because, you know, we're in our secure Oh, it'd be so much better to be that guy. I'm here to tell you, not really not unless you structure it properly with the end in mind. Now, there are some people that have that, let's say kind of wealth, and I talk about wealth, not because it's the most important thing, because it's on a lot of people's minds. It's easy to measure, right? And when you look at the world, that seems to be what the irritation is, is not having enough. Ari Gronich21:53Let's say, you know, we go to the statistic 1.87, I believe trillion dollars into the like, top 10, 20 people in the world, their wealth over the course of COVID. Right. Whereas we spent, I think it's around 3 trillion. So I'm just going to correlate it right. So I correlate it, like the government spent 3 trillion of taxpayers money, 2 trillion of that approximately went into 20 people's hands. Right. So there's a correlation between wanting, I guess, fairness or equanimity and these kinds of things within the situation that that we aren't seeing, right. So if we're not seeing the fairness and equanimity that pain level goes up, as you were saying, and then the pressure cooker arises. But I don't think that people correlate the two things like they don't say, two, or 3 trillion came out of people's hands and into 20 people's hands, like out of a few 100 million into 20 people's hands. They don't say that they don't, they just say during this period of time, these top 20 people, their wealth skyrocketed, and these people their wealth went, right. So if we don't get the correlation, how do we get to the end, I'm going to use the word solution but as a problem solving, but how do we get to that place where equanimity fairness, those things, where as they're not guaranteed in life, are at least structured more appropriately or so that people can have the sense that when they do something like this magnetic mind, you know, and they're doing these five steps that they actually think that that true choice can happen?Gunther Mueller24:03Yeah, so anything high Einstein said this to write anything that you can imagine, you can create, anything that's ever been created started in the imagination first, but you have to think of your life in little bubbles, you are in this little bubble right here. Okay. And that's just you, your desires, your true choices, the experience that you want in the current reality, and you want this experience just because you'd love it, just because you want it just because that's the experience you want to have. It does not mean that the entire world has to change for you to have this experience in your life. And let's just stick with the wealth or abundance type thing. In order for you to have the experience of abundance. It doesn't mean you have to be one of the 20 people. Ari, I want to use an example of breathing The last time you thought about how much air was available to you today to breathe.Ari Gronich25:06I'm a weird one, I think about it because I think about cleanliness and the air. But you know. Gunther MuellerThat's different from quantity, right? Ari GronichThat is different. quality versus quantity. Yeah, that's different.Gunther Mueller25:17But our experience as human beings is that we've always had pretty much unless you're drowning, or you're locked in a sealed box or something like that we've had an infinite air supply, we can breathe as much as we want as fast as we want. We've never really thought about, you know, is there going to be enough air today for me to survive? Know the so even in the current reality in the current moment, if you focus on just breathing, you can have the experience of abundance. That's what abundance feels like having more than enough. And so let's say in our lives, if we want to create that experience of abundance, if you have $10, left over from your budget, at the end of the month, you have more than you needed, you just have $5 left over at the end of the month. That is an experience of abundance, it may not match your desire. But this is what creates the contentment in the moment just for a time since you can plant your feet. And you can be it now. Okay, you can be it now you can experience abundance of what it feels like to be abundant in your little bubble. All right now around this bubble, is your family, friends and influence your little tribe is around there. And these are the ones that could be speaking, some sort of negativity into your thing, right, but you're in this bubble, you have a true choice, you have a desire, you have the thing that you would just love to experience for no other reason than the fact that you want it, you love it. And this field here is either going to you're going to influence this field or this field is going to influence you. And the more you secure yourself in your own being listening to your own voice, your own desires, and you focusing on that which you want, and not trying to solve for world peace or trying solve all the ills and all the problems in the world. It's the analogy of the airplane, right, you have to put your oxygen mask on first, before you can help anyone else. So getting in to the conscious creator stance, and choosing that which you want, creates this little bubble. And you can experience that which you choose to experience in this little bubble and it does work. Okay, the magnetic mind method has even restored eyesight, we're not promising that but we had a blind person go through a series of recodes and restored the eyesight because the identity shifted from a person that did not see to a person that now sees, we've had people get out of wheelchairs, because the identity has shifted, again, extreme examples of what is not promising that everybody, but when the identity shifts, the current reality changes. And that reality includes the bubble of your family may not like how your family and friends treat you or done it enough. But that can change too. When this changes, then this changes when this bigger bubble then changes, then the outer bubble changes and the more people that are taking this responsibility for themselves and manifesting their own true choice experience. And imagine if more and more and more people did this on a regular basis. And I regular by i mean you know, once or twice a day is getting into that field and being clear about what you want. Because you have to send that vibration into the field superconscious needs to know that you're serious about what you want. It can't just

Last Week in .NET - February 6th, 2021No releases of note this week; but several updates in the .NET area that are useful, especially around Windows UI. Let's get to it.Microsoft News

Facebook doesn't want its hardware like Oculus and Portal to be at the mercy of Google because they rely on its Android operating system. That's why Facebook has tasked a co-author of Microsoft's Windows NT named Mark Lucovsky with building the social network an operating system from scratch, according the The Information's Alex Heath.

FORTRAN Welcome to the History of Computing Podcast, where we explore the history of information technology. Because by understanding the past, we're better prepared for the innovations of the future! Todays episode is on one of the oldest of the programming languages, FORTRAN - which has influenced most modern languages. We'll start this story with John Backus. This guy was smart. He went to med school and was diagnosed with a brain tumor. He didn't like the plate that was left behind in his head. So he designed a new one. He then moved to New York and started to work on radios while attending Columbia for first a bachelor's degree and then a master's degree in math. That's when he ended up arriving at IBM. He walked in one day definitely not wearing the standard IBM suit - and when he said he was a grad student in math they took him upstairs, played a little stump the chump, and hired him on the spot. He had not idea what a programmer was. By 1954 he was a trusted enough resource that he was allowed to start working on a new team, to define a language that could provide a better alternative to writing code in icky assembly language. This was meant to boost sales of the IBM 704 mainframe by making it easier to hire and train new software programmers. That language became FORTRAN, an acronym for Formula Translation. The team was comprised of 10 geniuses. Lois Haibt, probably one of the younger on the team said of this phase: "No one was worried about seeming stupid or possessive of his or her code. We were all just learning together." She built the arithmetic expression analyzer and helped with the first FORTRAN manual, which was released in 1956. Roy Nutt was also on that team. He wrote an assembler for the IBM 704 and was responsible for the format command which managed data as it came in and out of FORTRAN programs. He went on to be a co-founder of Computer Science Corporation, or CSC with Fletcher Jones in 1959, landing a huge contract with Honeywell. CSC grew quickly and went public in the 60s. They continued to prosper until 2017 when they merged with HP Enteprirse services, which had just merged with Silicon Graphics. Today they have a pending merger with Cray. David Sayre was also on that team. He discovered the Sayre crystallography equation, and molter moved on to pioneer electron beam lithography and push the envelope of X-ray microscopy. Harlan Herrick on the team invented the DO and GO TO commands and ran the first working FORTRAN program. Cuthbert Herd was recruited from the Atomic Energy Commission and invented the concept of a general purpose computer. Frances Allen was a math teacher that joined up with the group to help pay off college debts. She would go on to teach Fortran and in 1989 became the first female IBM Fellow Emeritus. Robert Nelson was a cryptographer who handled a lot of the technical typing and designing some of the more sophisticated sections of the compiler. Irving Ziller designed the methods for loops and arrays. Peter Sheridan, aside from having a fantastic mustache, invented much of the compiler code used for decades after. Sheldon Best optimized the use of index registers, along with Richard Goldberg. As Backus would note in his seminal paper, the History Of FORTRAN I, II, and III, the release of FORTRAN in 1957 changed the economics of programming. While still scientific in nature, the appearance of the first true high-level language using the first real compiler meant you didn't write in machine or assembly, which was hard to teach, hard to program, and hard to debug. Instead, you'd write machine independent code that could perform complex mathematical expressions and once compiled it would run maybe 20% slower, but development was 5 times faster. IBM loved this because customers needed to buy faster computers. But customers had a limit for how much they could spend and the mainframes at the time had a limit for how much they could process. To quote Backus “To this day I believe that our emphasis on object program efficiency rather than on language design was basically correct.” Basically they spent more time making the compiler efficient than they spent developing the programming language itself. As with the Constitution of the United States, simplicity was key. Much of the programming language pieces were designed by Herrick, Ziller, and Backus. The first release of FORTRAN had 32 statements that did things that might sound similar today like PRINT, READ, FORMAT, CONTINUE, GO TO, ASSIGN and of course IF. This was before terminals and disk files so programs were punched into 80 column cards. The first 72 columns were converted into 12 36 bit words. 1-5 were labels for control statements like PRINT, FORMAT, ASSIGN or put a C in column 1 to comment out the code. Column 6 was boolean where a 1 told it a new statement was coming or a 0 continued the statement from the previous card. Columns 7 through 72 were the statement, which ignored whitespace, and the other columns were ignored. FORTRAN II came onto the scene very shortly thereafter in 1958 and the SUBROUTINE, FUNCTION, END, CALL, RETURN, and COMMON statements were added. COMMON was important because it gave us global variables. FORTRAN III came in 1958 as well but was only available for specific computers and never shipped. 1401 FORTRAN then came for the 1401 mainframe. The compiler ran from tape and kept the whole program in memory, allowing for faster runtime. FORTRAN IV came in the early 60s and brought us into the era of the System/360. Here, we got booleans, logical IF instead of that used in arithmetic, the LOGICAL data type, and then came one of the most important versions, FORTRAN 66 - which merged all those dialects from IV into not quite a new version. Here, ANSI, or the American National Standards Institute stepped in and started to standardize. We sill use DO for loops, and every language has its own end of file statement, commenting structures, and logical IFs. Once things get standardized, they move slower. Especially where compiler theory is concerned. Dialects had emerged but FORTRAN 66 stayed put for 11 years. In 1968, the authors of BASIC were already calling FORTRAN old fashioned. A new version was started in 66 but wasn't completed until 1977 and formally approved in 1978. Here, we got END IF statements, the ever so important ELSE, with new types of I/O we also got OPEN and CLOSE, and persistent variable controls with SAVE. The Department of Defense also insisted on lexical comparison strings. And we actually removed things, which these days we call DEPRECATE. 77 also gave us new error handling methods, and programmatic ways to manage really big programs (because over the last 15 years some had grown pretty substantial in size). The next update took even longer. While FORTRAN 90 was released in 1991, we learned some FORTRAN 77 in classes at the University of Georgia. Fortran 90 changed the capitalization so you weren't yelling at people and added recursion, pointers, developer-controlled data types, object code for parallelization, better argument passing, 31 character identifiers, CASE, WHERE, and SELeCT statements, operator overloading, inline commenting, modules, POINTERs (however Ken Thompson felt about those didn't matter ‘cause he had long hair and a beard), dynamic memory allocation (malloc errors woohoo), END DO statements for loop terminations, and much more. They also deprecated arithmetic IF statements, PAUSE statements, branching END IF, the ASSIGN statement, statement functions, and a few others. Fortran 95 was a small revision, adding FORALL and ELEMENTAL procedures, as well as NULL pointers. But FORTRAN was not on the minds of many outside of the scientific communities. 1995 is an important year in computing. Mainframes hadn't been a thing for awhile. The Mac languished in the clone era just as Windows 95 had brought Microsoft to a place of parity with the Mac OS. The web was just starting to pop. The browser wars between Netscape and Microsoft were starting to heat up. C++ turned 10 years old. We got Voice over IP, HTML 2.0, PHP, Perl 5, the ATX mother board, Windows NT, the Opera browser, the card format, CD readers that cost less than a grand, the Pentium Pro, Java, JavaScript, SSL, the breakup of AT&T, IBM's DEEP BLUE, WebTV, Palm Pilot, CPAN, Classmates.com, the first Wiki, Cygwin, the Jazz drive, Firewire, Ruby, and NumPy kickstarted the modern machine learning era. Oh and Craigslist, Yahoo!, eBay, and Amazon.com. Audible was also established that year but they weren't owned by Amazon just yet. Even at IBM, they were buys buying Lotus and trying to figure out how they were going to beat Kasparov with Deep Blue. Hackers came out that year, and they were probably also trying to change their passwords from god. With all of this rapid innovation popping in a single year it's no wonder there was a backlash as can be seen in The Net, with Sandra Bullock, also from 1995. And as though they needed even more of a kick that this mainframe stuff was donezo, Konrad Zuse passed away in 1995. I was still in IT at the university watching all of this. Sometimes I wonder if it's good or bad that I wasn't 2 or 3 years older… Point of all of this is that many didn't notice when Fortran continued on becoming more of a niche language. At this point, programming wasn't just for math. Fortran 2003 brought object oriented enhancements, polymorphism, and interoperability with C. Fortran 2008 came and then Fortran 2018. Yes, you can still find good jobs in Fortran. Or COBOL for that matter. Fortran leaves behind a legacy (and a lot of legacy code) that established many of the control statements and structures we use today. Much as Grace Hopper pioneered the idea of a compiler, FORTRAN really took that concept and put it to the masses, or at least the masses of programmers of the day. John Backus and that team of 10 programmers increased the productivity of people who wrote programs by 20 fold in just a few years. These types of productivity gains are rare. You have the assembly line, the gutenberg press, the cotton gin, the spinning Jenny, the watt steam engine, and really because of the derivative works that resulted from all that compiled code from all those mainframes and since, you can credit that young, diverse, and brilliant team at IBM for kickstarting the golden age of the mainframe. Imagine if you will, Backus walks into IBM and they said “sorry, we don't have any headcount on our team.” You always make room for brilliant humans. Grace Hopper's dream would have resulted in COBOL, but without the might of IBM behind it, we might still be writing apps in machine language. Backus didn't fit in with the corporate culture at IBM. He rarely wore suits in an era where suit makers in Armonk were probably doing as well as senior management. They took a chance on a brilliant person. And they assembled a diverse team of brilliant people who weren't territorial or possessive, a team who authentically just wanted to learn. And sometimes that kind of a team lucks up and change sthe world. Who do you want to take a chance on? Mull over that until the next episode. Thank you so very much for tuning into another episode of the History of Computing Podcast. We're lucky to have you. Have a great day!

Welcome to the History of Computing Podcast, where we explore the history of information technology. Because understanding the past prepares us for the innovations of the future! Todays episode is going to be just a little bit unique. Or not unique as the case may be. Bill Gates sent a very important memo on May 26th, 1995. It's so important because of how well it foreshadows what was about to happen with this weird thing called the Internet. So we're going to simply provide the unaltered transcript and if you dig it, read a book or two of his. He is a surprisingly good writer. To: Executive Staff and direct reports From: Bill Gates Date: May 26, 1995 The Internet Tidal Wave Our vision for the last 20 years can be summarized in a succinct way. We saw that exponential improvements in computer capabilities would make great software quite valuable. Our response was to build an organization to deliver the best software products. In the next 20 years the improvement in computer power will be outpaced by the exponential improvements in communications networks. The combination of these elements will have a fundamental impact on work, learning and play. Great software products will be crucial to delivering the benefits of these advances. Both the variety and volume of the software will increase. Most users of communications have not yet seen the price of communications come down significantly. Cable and phone networks are still depreciating networks built with old technology. Universal service monopolies and other government involvement around the world have kept communications costs high. Private networks and the Internet which are built using state of the art equipment have been the primary beneficiaries of the improved communications technology. The PC is just now starting to create additional demand that will drive a new wave of investment. A combination of expanded access to the Internet, ISDN, new broadband networks justified by video based applications and interconnections between each of these will bring low cost communication to most businesses and homes within the next decade. The Internet is at the forefront of all of this and developments on the Internet over the next several years will set the course of our industry for a long time to come. Perhaps you have already seen memos from me or others here about the importance of the Internet. I have gone through several stages of increasing my views of its importance. Now I assign the Internet the highest level of importance. In this memo I want to make clear that our focus on the Internet is crucial to every part of our business. The Internet is the most important single development to come along since the IBM PC was introduced in 1981. It is even more important than the arrival of the graphical user interface (GUI). The PC analogy is apt for many reasons. The PC wasn't perfect. Aspects of the PC were arbitrary or even poor. However a phenomena grew up around the IBM PC that made it a key element of everything that would happen for the next 15 years. Companies that tried to fight the PC standard often had good reasons for doing so but they failed because the phenomena overcame any weaknesses that resisters identified. The Internet Today The Internet's unique position arises from a number of elements. TCP/IP protocols that define its transport level support distributed computing and scale incredibly well. The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) has defined an evolutionary path that will avoid running into future problems even as eventually everyone on the planet connects up. The HTTP protocols that define HTML Web browsing are extremely simple and have allowed servers to handle incredible traffic reasonably well. All of the predictions about hypertext - made decades ago by pioneers like Ted Nelson - are coming true on the Web. Although other protocols on the Internet will continue to be used (FTP, Gopher, IRC, Telnet, SMTP, NNTP). HTML with extensions will be the standard that defines how information will be presented. Various extensions to HTML, including content enhancements like tables, and functionality enhancements like secure transactions, will be widely adopted in the near future. There will also be enhanced 3D presentations providing for virtual reality type shopping and socialization. Another unique aspect of the Internet is that because it buys communications lines on a commodity bid basis and because it is growing so fast, it is the only "public" network whose economics reflect the latest advances in communications technology. The price paid for corporations to connect to the Internet is determined by the size of your "on-ramp" to the Internet and not by how much you actually use your connection. Usage isn't even metered. It doesn't matter if you connect nearby or half way around the globe. This makes the marginal cost of extra usage essentially zero encouraging heavy usage. Most important is that the Internet has bootstrapped itself as a place to publish content. It has enough users that it is benefiting from the positive feedback loop of the more users it gets, the more content it gets, and the more content it gets, the more users it gets. I encourage everyone on the executive staff and their direct reports to use the Internet. I've attached an appendix, which Brian Flemming helped me pull together that shows some hot sites to try out. You can do this by either using the .HTM enclosure with any Internet browser or, if you have Word set up properly, you can navigate right from within this document. Of particular interest are the sites such as "YAHOO" which provide subject catalogs and searching. Also of interest are the ways our competitors are using their Websites to present their products. I think SUN, Netscape and Lotus do some things very well. Amazingly it is easier to find information on the Web than it is to find information on the Microsoft Corporate Network. This inversion where a public network solves a problem better than a private network is quite stunning. This inversion points out an opportunity for us in the corporate market. An important goal for the Office and Systems products is to focus on how our customers can create and publish information on their LANs. All work we do here can be leveraged into the HTTP/Web world. The strength of the Office and Windows businesses today gives us a chance to superset the Web. One critical issue is runtime/browser size and performance. Only when our Office - Windows solution has comparable performance to the Web will our extensions be worthwhile. I view this as the most important element of Office 96 and the next major release of Windows. One technical challenge facing the Internet is how to handle "real-time" content - specifically audio and video. The underlying technology of the Internet is a packet network which does not guarantee that data will move from one point to another at a guaranteed rate. The congestion on the network determines how quickly packets are sent. Audio can be delivered on the Internet today using several approaches. The classic approach is to simply transmit the audio file in its entirety before it is played. A second approach is to send enough of it to be fairly sure that you can keeping playing without having to pause. This is the approach Progressive Networks Real Audio (Rob Glaser's new company) uses. Three companies (Internet Voice Chat, Vocaltec, and Netphone) allow phone conversations across the Internet but the quality is worse than a normal phone call. For video, a protocol called CU-SeeMe from Cornell allows for video conferencing. It simply delivers as many frames per second as it sees the current network congestion can handle, so even at low resolution it is quite jerky. All of these "hacks" to provide video and audio will improve because the Internet will get faster and also because the software will improve. At some point in the next three years, protocol enhancements taking advantage of the ATM backbone being used for most of the Internet will provide "quality of service guarantees". This is a guarantee by every switch between you and your destination that enough bandwidth had been reserved to make sure you get your data as fast as you need it. Extensions to IP have already been proposed. This might be an opportunity for us to take the lead working with UUNET and others. Only with this improvement and an incredible amount of additional bandwidth and local connections will the Internet infrastructure deliver all of the promises of the full blown Information Highway. However, it is in the process of happening and all we can do is get involved and take advantage. I think that virtually every PC will be used to connect to the Internet and that the Internet will help keep PC purchasing very healthy for many years to come. PCs will connect to the Internet a variety of ways. A normal phone call using a 14.4k or 28.8k baud modem will be the most popular in the near future. An ISDN connection at 128kb will be very attractive as the connection costs from the RBOCs and the modem costs come down. I expect an explosion in ISDN usage for both Internet connection and point-to-point connections. Point-to-point allows for low latency which is very helpful for interactive games. ISDN point-to-point allows for simultaneous voice data which is a very attractive feature for sharing information. Example scenarios include planning a trip, discussing a contract, discussing a financial transaction like a bill or a purchase or taxes or getting support questions about your PC answered. Eventually you will be able to find the name of someone or a service you want to connect to on the Internet and rerouting your call to temporarily be a point-to-point connection will happen automatically. For example when you are browsing travel possibilities if you want to talk to someone with expertise on the area you are considering, you simply click on a button and the request will be sent to a server that keeps a list of available agents who can be working anywhere they like as long as they have a PC with ISDN. You will be reconnected and the agent will get all of the context of what you are looking at and your previous history of travel if the agency has a database. The reconnection approach will not be necessary once the network has quality of service guarantees. Another way to connect a PC will be to use a cable-modem that uses the coaxial cable normally used for analog TV transmission. Early cable systems will essentially turn the coax into an Ethernet so that everyone in the same neighborhood will share a LAN. The most difficult problem for cable systems is sending data from the PC back up the cable system (the "back channel"). Some cable companies will promote an approach where the cable is used to send data to the PC (the "forward channel") and a phone connection is used for the back channel. The data rate of the forward channel on a cable system should be better than ISDN. Eventually the cable operators will have to do a full upgrade to an ATM-based system using either all fiber or a combination of fiber and Coax - however, when the cable or phone companies will make this huge investment is completely unclear at this point. If these buildouts happen soon, then there will be a loose relationship between the Internet and these broadband systems. If they don't happen for some time, then these broadband systems could be an extension of the Internet with very few new standards to be set. I think the second scenario is very likely. Three of the biggest developments in the last five years have been the growth in CD titles, the growth in On-line usage, and the growth in the Internet. Each of these had to establish critical mass on their own. Now we see that these three are strongly related to each other and as they come together they will accelerate in popularity. The On-line services business and the Internet have merged. What I mean by this is that every On-line service has to simply be a place on the Internet with extra value added. MSN is not competing with the Internet although we will have to explain to content publishers and users why they should use MSN instead of just setting up their own Web server. We don't have a clear enough answer to this question today. For users who connect to the Internet some way other than paying us for the connection we will have to make MSN very, very inexpensive - perhaps free. The amount of free information available today on the Internet is quite amazing. Although there is room to use brand names and quality to differentiate from free content, this will not be easy and it puts a lot of pressure to figure out how to get advertiser funding. Even the CD-ROM business will be dramatically affected by the Internet. Encyclopedia Brittanica is offering their content on a subscription basis. Cinemania type information for all the latest movies is available for free on the Web including theater information and Quicktime movie trailers. Competition Our traditional competitors are just getting involved with the Internet. Novell is surprisingly absent given the importance of networking to their position however Frankenberg recognizes its importance and is driving them in that direction. Novell has recognized that a key missing element of the Internet is a good directory service. They are working with AT&T and other phone companies to use the Netware Directory Service to fill this role. This represents a major threat to us. Lotus is already shipping the Internotes Web Publisher which replicates Notes databases into HTML. Notes V4 includes secure Internet browsing in its server and client. IBM includes Internet connection through its network in OS/2 and promotes that as a key feature. Some competitors have a much deeper involvement in the Internet than Microsoft. All UNIX vendors are benefiting from the Internet since the default server is still a UNIX box and not Windows NT, particularly for high end demands, SUN has exploited this quite effectively. Many Web sites, including Paul Allen's ESPNET, put a SUN logo and link at the bottom of their home page in return for low cost hardware. Several universities have "Sunsites" named because they use donated SUN hardware. SUN's Java project involves turning an Internet client into a programmable framework. SUN is very involved in evolving the Internet to stay away from Microsoft. On the SUN Homepage you can find an interview of Scott McNealy by John Gage where Scott explains that if customers decide to give one product a high market share (Windows) that is not capitalism. SUN is promoting Sun Screen and HotJava with aggressive business ads promising that they will help companies make money. SGI has also been advertising their leadership on the Internet including servers and authoring tools. Their ads are very business focused. They are backing the 3D image standard, VRML, which will allow the Internet to support virtual reality type shopping, gaming, and socializing. Browsing the Web, you find almost no Microsoft file formats. After 10 hours of browsing, I had not seen a single Word .DOC, AVI file, Windows .EXE (other than content viewers), or other Microsoft file format. I did see a great number of Quicktime files. All of the movie studios use them to offer film trailers. Apple benefited by having TCP support before we did and is working hard to build a browser built from OpenDoc components. Apple will push for OpenDoc protocols to be used on the Internet, and is already offering good server configurations. Apple's strength in education gives them a much stronger presence on the Internet than their general market share would suggest. Another popular file format on the Internet is PDF, the short name for Adobe Acrobat files. Even the IRS offers tax forms in PDF format. The limitations of HTML make it impossible to create forms or other documents with rich layout and PDF has become the standard alternative. For now, Acrobat files are really only useful if you print them out, but Adobe is investing heavily in this technology and we may see this change soon. Acrobat and Quicktime are popular on the network because they are cross platform and the readers are free. Once a format gets established it is extremely difficult for another format to come along and even become equally popular. A new competitor "born" on the Internet is Netscape. Their browser is dominant, with 70% usage share, allowing them to determine which network extensions will catch on. They are pursuing a multi-platform strategy where they move the key API into the client to commoditize the underlying operating system. They have attracted a number of public network operators to use their platform to offer information and directory services. We have to match and beat their offerings including working with MCI, newspapers, and other who are considering their products. One scary possibility being discussed by Internet fans is whether they should get together and create something far less expensive than a PC which is powerful enough for Web browsing. This new platform would optimize for the datatypes on the Web. Gordon Bell and others approached Intel on this and decided Intel didn't care about a low cost device so they started suggesting that General Magic or another operating system with a non-Intel chip is the best solution. Next Steps In highlighting the importance of the Internet to our future I don't want to suggest that I am alone in seeing this. There is excellent work going on in many product groups. Over the last year, a number of people have championed embracing TCP/IP, hyperlinking, HTML, and building client, tools and servers that compete on the Internet. However, we still have a lot to do. I want every product plan to try and go overboard on Internet features. One element that will be crucial is coordinating our various activities. The challenge/opportunity of the Internet is a key reason behind the recent organization. Paul Maritz will lead the Platform group to define an integrated strategy that makes it clear that Windows machines are the best choice for the Internet. This will protect and grow our Windows asset. Nathan and Pete will lead the Applications and Content group to figure out how to make money providing applications and content for the Internet. This will protect our Office asset and grow our Office, Consumer, and MSN businesses. The work that was done in the Advanced Technology group will be extremely important as it is integrated in with our products. We must also invest in the Microsoft home page, so it will be clear how to find out about our various products. Today it's quite random what is on the home page and the quality of information is very low. If you look up speeches by me all you find are a few speeches over a year old. I believe the Internet will become our most important promotional vehicle and paying people to include links to our home pages will be a worthwhile way to spend advertising dollars. First we need to make sure that great information is available. One example is the demonstration files (Screencam format) that Lotus includes on all of their products organized by feature. I think a measurable part of our ad budget should focus on the Internet. Any information we create - white papers, data sheets, etc., should all be done on our Internet server. ITG needs to take a hard look at whether we should drop our leasing arrangements for data lines to some countries and simply rely on the Internet. The actions required for the Windows platform are quite broad. Pual Maritz is having an Internet retreat in June which will focus on coordinating these activities. Some critical steps are the following: 1. Server. BSD is working on offering the best Internet server as an integrated package. We need to understand how to make NT boxes the highest performance HTTP servers. Perhaps we should have a project with Compaq or someone else to focus on this. Our initial server will have good performance because it uses kernel level code to blast out a file. We need a clear story on whether a high volume Web site can use NT or not becaues SUN is viewed as the primary choice. Our plans for security need to be strengthened. Other Backoffice pieces like SMS and SQL server also need to stay out in front in working with the Internet. We need to figure out how OFS can help perhaps by allowing pages to be stored as objects and having properties added. Perhaps OFS can help with the challenge of maintaining Web structures. We need to establish distributed OLE as the protocol for Internet programming. Our server offerings need to beat what Netscape is doing including billing and security support. There will be substantial demand for high performance transaction servers. We need to make the media server work across the Internet as soon as we can as new protocols are established. A major opportunity/challenge is directory. If the features required for Internet directory are not in Cairo or easily addable without a major release we will miss the window to become the world standard in directory with serious consequences. Lotus, Novell, and AT&T will be working together to try and establish the Internet directory. Actually getting the content for our directory and popularizing it could be done in the MSN group. 2. Client. First we need to offer a decent client (O'Hare) that exploits Windows 95 shortcuts. However this alone won't get people to switch away from Netscape. We need to figure out how to integrate Blackbird, and help browsing into our Internet client. We have made the decision to provide Blackbird capabilities openly rather than tie them to MSN. However, the process of getting the size, speed, and integration good enough for the market needs works and coordination. We need to figure out additional features that will allows us to get ahead with Windows customers. We need to move all of our Internet value added from the Plus pack into Windows 95 itself as soon as we possible can with a major goal to get OEMs shipping our browser preinstalled. This follows directly from the plan to integrate the MSN and Internet clients. Another place for integration is to eliminate today's Help and replace it with the format our browser accepts including exploiting our unique extensions so there is another reason to use our browser. We need to determine how many browsers we promote. Today we have O'Hare, Blackbird, SPAM MediaView, Word, PowerPoint, Symettry, Help and many others. Without unification we will lose to Netscape/HotJava. Over time the shell and the browser will converge and support hierarchical/list/query viewing as well as document with links viewing. The former is the structured approach and the later allows for richer presentation. We need to establish OLE protocols as the way rich documents are shared on the Internet. I am sure the OpenDoc consortium will try and block this. 3. File sharing/Window sharing/Multi-user. We need to give away client code that encourages Windows specific protocols to be used across the Internet. It should be very easy to set up a server for file sharing across the Internet. Our PictureTel screen sharing client allowing Window sharing should work easily across the Internet. We should also consider whether to do something with the Citrix code that allows you to become a Windows NT user across the Network. It is different from the PictureTel approach because it isn't peer to peer. Instead it allows you to be a remote user on a shared NT system. By giving away the client code to support all of these scenarios, we can start to show that a Windows machine on the Internet is more valuable than an artitrary machine on the net. We have immense leverage because our Client and Server API story is very strong. Using VB or VC to write Internet applications which have their UI remoted is a very powerful advantage for NT servers. 4. Forms/Languages. We need to make it very easy to design a form that presents itself as an HTML page. Today the Common Gateway Interface (CGI) is used on Web servers to give forms 'behavior' but its quite difficult to work with. BSD is defining a somewhat better approach they call BGI. However we need to integrate all of this with our Forms3 strategy and our languages. If we make it easy to associate controls with fields then we get leverage out of all of the work we are doing on data binding controls. Efforts like Frontier software's work and SUN's Java are a major challenge to us. We need to figure out when it makes sense to download control code to the client including a security approach to avoid this being a virus hole. 5. Search engines. This is related to the client/server strategies. Verity has done good work with Notes, Netscape, AT&T and many others to get them to adopt their scalable technology that can deal with large text databases with very large numbers of queries against them. We need to come up with a strategy to bring together Office, Mediaview, Help, Cairo, and MSN. Access and Fox do not support text indexing as part of their queries today which is a major hole. Only when we have an integrated strategy will we be able to determine if our in-house efforts are adequate or to what degree we need to work with outside companies like Verity. 6. Formats. We need to make sure we output information from all of our products in both vanilla HTML form and in the extended forms that we promote. For example, any database reports should be navigable as hypertext documents. We need to decide how we are going to compete with Acrobat and Quicktime since right now we aren't challenging them. It may be worth investing in optimizing our file formats for these scenarios. What is our competitor to Acrobat? It was supposed to be a coordination of extended metafiles and Word but these plans are inadequate. The format issue spans the Platform and Applications groups. 7. Tools. Our disparate tools efforts need to be brought together. Everything needs to focus on a single integrated development environment that is extensible in a object oriented fashion. Tools should be architected as extensions to this framework. This means one common approach to repository/projects/source control. It means one approach to forms design. The environment has to support sophisticated viewing options like timelines and the advanced features SoftImage requires. Our work has been separated by independent focus on on-line versus CD-ROM and structured display versus animated displays. There are difficult technical issues to resolve. If we start by looking at the runtime piece (browser) I think this will guide us towards the right solution with the tools. The actions required for the Applications and Content group are also quite broad. Some critical steps are the following: 1. Office. Allowing for collaboration across the Internet and allowing people to publish in our file formats for both Mac and Windows with free readers is very important. This won't happen without specific evangelization. DAD has written some good documents about Internet features. Word could lose out to focused Internet tools if it doesn't become faster and more WYSIWYG for HTML. There is a critical strategy issue of whether Word as a container is strict superset of our DataDoc containers allowing our Forms strategy to embrace Word fully. 2. MSN. The merger of the On-line business and Internet business creates a major challenge for MSN. It can't just be the place to find Microsoft information on the Internet. It has to have scale and reputation that it is the best way to take advantage of the Internet because of the value added. A lot of the content we have been attracting to MSN will be available in equal or better form on the Internet so we need to consider focusing on areas where we can provide something that will go beyond what the Internet will offer over the next few years. Our plan to promote Blackbird broadly takes away one element that would have been unique to MSN. We need to strengthen the relationship between MSN and Exchange/Cairo for mail, security and directory. We need to determine a set of services that MSN leads in - money transfer, directory, and search engines. Our high-end server offerings may require a specific relationship with MSN. 3. Consumer. Consumer has done a lot of thinking about the use of on-line for its various titles. On-line is great for annuity revenue and eliminating the problems of limited shelf-space. However, it also lowers the barriers to entry and allows for an immense amount of free information. Unfortunately today an MSN user has to download a huge browser for every CD title making it more of a demo capability than something a lot of people will adopt. The Internet will assure a large audience for a broad range of titles. However the challenge of becoming a leader in any subject area in terms of quality, depth, and price will be far more brutal than today's CD market. For each category we are in we will have to decide if we can be #1 or #2 in that category or get out. A number of competitors will have natural advantages because of their non-electronic activities. 4. Broadband media applications. With the significant time before widescale iTV deployment we need to look hard at which applications can be delivered in an ISDN/Internet environment or in a Satellite PC environment. We need a strategy for big areas like directory, news, and shopping. We need to decide how to persue local information. The Cityscape project has a lot of promise but only with the right partners. 5. Electronic commerce. Key elements of electronic commerce including security and billing need to be integrated into our platform strategy. On-line allows us to take a new approach that should allow us to compete with Intuit and others. We need to think creatively about how to use the Internet/on-line world to enhance Money. Perhaps our Automatic teller machine project should be revived. Perhaps it makes sense to do a tax business that only operates on on-line. Perhaps we can establish the lowest cost way for people to do electronic bill paying. Perhaps we can team up with Quickbook competitors to provide integrated on-line offerings. Intuit has made a lot of progress in overseas markets during the last six months. All the financial institutions will find it very easy to buy the best Internet technology tools from us and others and get into this world without much technical expertise. The Future We enter this new era with some considerable strengths. Among them are our people and the broad acceptance of Windows and Office. I believe the work that has been done in Consumer, Cairo, Advanced Technology, MSN, and Research position us very well to lead. Our opportunity to take advantage of these investments is coming faster than I would have predicted. The electronic world requires all of the directory, security, linguistic and other technologies we have worked on. It requires us to do even more in these ares than we planning to. There will be a lot of uncertainty as we first embrace the Internet and then extend it. Since the Internet is changing so rapidly we will have to revise our strategies from time to time and have better inter-group communication than ever before. Our products will not be the only things changing. The way we distribute information and software as well as the way we communicate with and support customers will be changing. We have an opportunity to do a lot more with our resources. Information will be disseminated efficiently between us and our customers with less chance that the press miscommunicates our plans. Customers will come to our "home page" in unbelievable numbers and find out everything we want them to know. The next few years are going to be very exciting as we tackle these challenges are opportunities. The Internet is a tidal wave. It changes the rules. It is an incredible opportunity as well as incredible challenge I am looking forward to your input on how we can improve our strategy to continue our track record of incredible success.

Welcome to the History of Computing Podcast, where we explore the history of information technology. Because by understanding the past, we're able to be prepared for the innovations of the future! Todays episode is on the history of Novell. To understand Novell, we'll go to BYU in 1980. As an honors grad in math and computer science, Drew Major might have been listening to the new wave tunes of Blondie or Deve who released Call Me and Whip it respectively that year. But it's more likely he was playing with the Rubik's Cube or Pac-Man, released that year or tuned in to find out Who Shot JR? On Dallas. He probably joined the rest of the world in mourning the loss of John Lennon who was murdered in 1980. He went to work at Eyring Research Institute (ERI) where he, Dale Neibaur and Kyle Powell decided to take some of their work from BYU and started working on the IPX and SPX network protocols and the NetWare operating system using the company name SuperSet Software. Meanwhile, George Canova, Darin Field, and Jack Davis had started a company called Novell a couple of years before, building microcomputers, or the equivalent of the PCs we use today. They weren't doing so well and Novell Data Systems decided they might be able to sell more computers by hooking them up together - so they hired the SuperSet team to help. The team Superset had worked on ARPANET projects while at the Eyring Research Institute The bankers stepped in and Jack Davis left, then Canova - and Raymond Noorda stepped in as CEO in 1982. In 1983 they released Novell NetWare. NetWare had the first real Network Operating System called ShareNet, which was based on a license to a Unix kernel they bought. While initially based on the Xerox Network System developed at Xerox PARC, they created Internetwork Packet Exchange, or IPX, and Sequenced Packet Exchange, or SPX, creating standards that would become common in most businesses in the subsequent decades. They joined Novell in 1983 and Major later became Chief Scientist. The 1980s were good to Novell. They released Netware 2 in 1986, becoming independent of the hardware and more modular. Servers could be connected through ARCNET, Ethernet, and Token Ring. They added fault tolerance options to remap bad blocks, added RAID support, and used a key card inserted in the ISA bus to license the software. And they immediately started working on Netware 3, which wouldn't be complete until 1990, with 3.11 setting the standard in network file sharing and when I first worked with Netware. Netware 3 was easier to install. It was 32-bit, allowed volumes up to a terabyte, and I remember this being cool at the time, you could add volume segments on the fly while the volume was mounted. Although growing the volume was always… in need of checking backups first. They didn't worry a lot about the GUI. Dealers didn't mind that. HP, DEC, and Data General all licensed OEM versions of the software. This was also my first experience with clustering, as NetWare SFT-III allowed a mirror an a different machine. All of this led to patents and the founding of new concepts that would, whether intentionally or accidentally, be copied by other vendors over the coming years. They grew, they sold hardware, like otherwise expensive ethernet cards, at cost to grab market share, and they had a lot of dealers who were loyal, in part due to great margins they had been earning but also because Netware wasn't simple to run and so required support contracts with those dealers. By 1990, most businesses used Novell if they needed to network computers. And NetWare 3.x seemed to cement that. They worked with larger and larger customers, becoming the Enterprise standard. Once upon a time, no one ever got fired for buying Netware. But Microsoft had been growing into the powerhouse standard of the day. They opened discussions to merge with Novell but Ray Noorda, then CEO, soon discovered that Bill Gates was working behind his back, a common theme of the era. This is when Novell got aggressive, likely realizing Microsoft was about to eat their lunch. Novell then bought Digital Research in 1991, with a version of DOS called DR DOS, and working with Apple on a project to bring Novell to Mac OS. They bought Univel to get their own Unix for UnixWare, and wrote Novell Directory Services which would later become eDirectory to establish a directory services play. They bought WordPerfect and Quattro Pro, early Office-type tools. By the end of this brisk acquisition time, the company didn't look like they did just a few years earlier. Microsoft had released Windows NT 3.1 Advanced Server in 1993 as the hate-spat between Noorda and Gates intensified. Noorda supported the first FTC antitrust investigations against Microsoft. It didn't work. Noorda was replaced by Robert Frankenberg in 1994. And then Windows 95 was released. Novell ended up selling Novell DOS to Caldera, handing over part of the Unix assets to Santa Cruz Operation, selling Integrated Systems, scrapping the Embedded Systems technology they'd been working on, and even selling WordPerfect and Quattro Pro too Corel. Windows of course supported Netware servers in addition to their own offering, having moved to NT 4 in 1996. NT 4 server would become the de facto standard in businesses. Frankenberg didn't last long and Eric Schmidt was hired as CEO in 1997. NetWare 5 was released in 1998 and I can still remember building zap packages to remove IPX/SPX in favor of TCP/IP. But the company was alienating the channel by squeezing margin out of them while simultaneously losing the war in the small business then the larger businesses to Microsoft, who kept making Windows Server better, and by 1999 I was trading my CNA (or Certified Novell Administrator) out for my first MCSE. After seeing the turnaround at IBM, Novell bought a consulting firm called Cambridge Technology Partners in 2001, replacing Schmidt with their CEO, Jack Messmen - and moving their corporate headquarters to Massachusetts. Drew Major finally left that year. The advancements he's overseen at Novell are legendary and resulted in technology research and patents that rival any other team in the industry. But the suits had a new idea. They pivoted to Linux, buying Ximian and SuSE in 2003, releasing Suse Linux Enterprise Server and then Novell Linux Desktop in 2004 and finally Open Enterprise Server in 2005. Does all of this seem like a rudderless ship? Yes, they wanted to pivot to Linux and compete with Microsoft, but they'd been through this before. Stop slapping yourself… Microsoft finally settled the competition by buying them off. They gave Novell $348 Million dollars in 2006 for “patent cooperation” and then spent $6M more on Novell products than Novell spent on theirs over the next 5 years (keep in mind that technology spats are multi-front wars). Novell was acquired by Attachmate for $2.2 billion dollars. Because Novell engineers had been creating so much amazing technology all those years, 882 patents from Novell went to CPTN Holdings, a consortium of companies that included Apple, EMC, Microsoft, and Oracle - this consortium the likely architect of the whole deal. SUSE was spun off, Attachmate laid off a lot of the workforce, Attachmate was bought, much word salad was said. You can't go back in time and do things over. But if he could, I bet Noorda would go back in time and do the deal with Bill Gates instead of going to war. Think about that next time someone goes low. Don't let your emotions get the best of you. You're above that. This has been The History of Novell. Thank you for listening we hope you have a great day!
