But, while looking for it I did find this segment of a larger article. (I'll continue looking for that other reference to the meeting between MS and hardware manufacturers. It wasn't the DAC, which meets at Las Vegas, but DAC would be a good reason for them to meet there!)

Everyone reading Slashdot doesn't make those kind of assumptions. The story I read wasn't on SlashDot, that much I remember. BTW, how did you separate the "hardware" "Las Vegas" chaff from the wheat? It's there. I'll find it.

I would tell you to have a nice 4th, but it's not your holliday! :)
Best to you too,
