Neil, You are obviously interested and capable of having this conversation at a level that I am not. So, you are going to get the pleasure of an email exchange with Kevin Goodman, the inventor and developer of TScale (and the founder of our company). I will hook Kevin up with you either later today, or early next week. Cheers, Bernd Harzog CEO RTO Software 678-455-5506 x701 bernd@xxxxxxxxxxx www.rtosoft.com -----Original Message----- From: Braebaum, Neil [mailto:neil.braebaum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]=20 Sent: Wednesday, November 27, 2002 10:44 AM To: 'thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx' Subject: [THIN] Re: Full desktop for 900 users Comments inline... > -----Original Message----- > From: Bernd Harzog [mailto:Bernd.Harzog@xxxxxxxxxxx]=20 > Sent: 27 November 2002 15:24 > To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: [THIN] Re: Full desktop for 900 users >=20 > The second quirk extends not just to Task Manager but to many=20 > of the underlying Perfmon metrics as well.
