| 301940 | 2004-12-12 09:00:00 | Spout, Look at all the FUD M/S spread's at high level, look at all the anti trust litigation, ect, ect, ect, any M/S thread needs balance and inspection, simply to protect linux from something Evil from Redmond. Also many skilled linux persons are either x M/S Tech's who have seen the light, or just multiskilled Professional Tech's. Stay away because you use linux, and this is an M/S thread, its their industry, and their business, next someone will be sayinmg, all linux users must wear the viel or perhaps a yellow penguin, when they go out in public.

Buy the time someone has mastered M/S, they probably know enough about operating systems and computer to be dangerous. Bit like second year apprentices, leave them on thier own in the workshop, but never allow them out on a field job with out an experienced tradesman with them, so that the experienced tradie can fix any fowlups the apprentice makes quickly, so that the customer hopefully wont notice.

Eh?? From what context does that come from? :) Metla, right on. More of the same is coming, bigger, better, a more feature rich user experience. The users have asked and will receive, only problem is, that's not precisely how the process is taking place. As users we are no longer perceived as the customer or client, we're now merely the consumer hence, trusted, DRM, et al. The customers are now other corporates (not end user corporates either, they're lumped with us, although I doubt most have woken to the fact yet), MS's real customers are like minded, their most valued client is themselves of course. That's probably what gets up my nose the most, we users are no longer truly of much value to MS when it comes to providing software and services, we're worth a bit of lip service still but, that's all, our real value lies elsewhere as part of the herd. |

I used 4 or 5 other OS' before "seeing the light" in 1997 and, grudgingly, moving to windows. I still don't believe Windows was or is the best OS. But sheer weight of number means my life is far easier with Windows XP that with any other OS I've use... and I've used Linux. The only reason I use Windows is that I want a choice of what software I run on it, and I don't get that with Linux. |

| 301947 | 2004-12-12 10:13:00 | Metla, it is all about marketing and having new goodies to dangle before those who have cash. All other products do the same thing. I'm sticking with 98SE because it functions OK. Luddites of the World etc etc/.. Cheers T |
