It was available even on win2k, just had to download a biggish file and install.Indeed.
Notes
Unlike the traditional behavior of PRUNEFS and PRUNEPATHS, which excludes the matched directory (or the root of a matched filesystem) from the created database, the matched directory is entered in the created database. This allows e.g. locate /tmp to find the standard temporary directories even though their contents are excluded from the database.
There is also addon utilities and an SDK that you can download from Microsoft to add greater flexibility and performance and will include both the K Shell and the C Shell.from the Microsoft link:

* disable all useless services. (sendmail, shell, rpc, etc) Usually this
is done from /etc/rc.* scripts. Note this won't directly affect battery
life but it will keep the hard disk spinning if a daemon has too many
files open and keeps writing to them.
* Don't run cron, at, updatedb, and other disk-spinning daemons. For
timed tasks, I found the at daemon that comes with Slackware to be the
least disk-spinning.

This new online disaster game was launched by the secretariat of the United Nation's International Strategy for Disaster Reduction. The game is aimed at teaching children (also adults) how to build safer villages and cities against disasters.
The game presents the player with a disaster and a community. It is the players job to make the necessary modifications to the town's landscape and infrastructure in order to mitigate disaster damages, including educating the public about disaster risk. This initiative comes within the 2006-2007 World Disaster Reduction Campaign “Disaster Risk Reduction Begins at School”. And really, it's not just for kids. It is much fun for adults too!
Each scenario takes between 10 and 20 minutes to play, depending on the disaster you are trying to prevent and your skill level. There are five scenarios to play, and each can be played on easy, medium or hard difficulty levels.

TCPKillNT is a TCP connection "Reset" utility for Microsoft Windows NT platforms. It has the ability to send RST packets to already established TCP connections. Quite deadly on a LAN. It is very useful for IDS kind of products which need to terminate a TCP session. Requires Winpcap and LibnetNT.http://members.fortu...jects/tcpkillnt.html

I find it funny and ironic that the Linux folk spend so much time and energy trying to look like Windows
It looks like a giant one of these:
There are more browsers than you are aware of. Besides Firefox, Opera and Internet Explorer there is a number of promising alternatives which can improve your flexibility, increase your productivity and enrich your browsing experience.
...
Recently we’ve selected over 20 Win/Mac/Linux-browsers, installed most of them, tested them, compared them and now present the results below. Let’s take a closer look at some rather unknown, forgotten, advanced or experimental browsers. What else do we have on the horizon? What should we use? And what might we be willing to use? Apparently, between Firefox, Opera and Internet Explorer there is enough room for creative and unusual approaches.
