| 1237917 | 2011-10-17 10:03:00 | AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHAHA *breathe* AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Just like their promise of $15/hr minimum wage, if, by some major miracle they do win, it will just be one massive fk up. Tbh, I agree. A comment I saw on the stuff.co.nz article said "why dont they promise the world? They're never going to win, so ..." |

I doubt they will drop Exchange & Outlook, so there is no point in switching to OpenOffice. This is a growing trend around the world. Zimbra seems like a suitable open-source option. GroupWare is also a good option, though not quite open source. |

| 1237921 | 2011-10-17 19:56:00 | If it's anything like the botch-up that was the recent IT projects for Auckland Council, then screw it, just keep paying the Microsoft tax until somebody decent can be brought in to project-manage the whole damn thing. Yes, I'm a big fan of Open-source, massively so, but I have little faith in it being successfully implemented. Taxing us to watch TV that's currently free? Whatever, it'll be cheaper to push it over Fibre than it will be to maintain the airwaves. Besides, there's nothing wrong with "Being 16th" when we're nowhere NEAR the top in terms of population, and especially when our population-per-KM-squared is so thin. Basically they're counting on the ignorant masses going "Oooh faster internet, do want!" and having that wet their whistle... That, and I don't think that unbundling from the beginning is going to be a terribly good option. Although, in saying that, most companies will be smart enough to realize it's going to be significantly cheaper to wholesale and achieve the quantity of scale rates than it is to put your own kit to the tune of tens of thousands of dollars into each cabinet, just to service a couple of homes. Fail all around. |

| 1237923 | 2011-10-17 23:01:00 | Great, yeah I would LOVE to access all my music via some shitty 32kbps streamed service that I must go online for, no doubt install some shitty browser plugin, and only be able to use it on one computer at once, and then have to pay some extra fee for something I'd never actually want to use. | Agent_24 (57) | ||
| 1237924 | 2011-10-17 23:35:00 | It's just a bag of vote lollies being waved around prior to the election, as a cheap ploy to try to lure the support of the ignorant masses. What I'm curious to see is whether Nat did a deal with the RIAA/MPA when they bent us over and shafted us re the copyright legislation. The deal being that govt would give the RIAA/MPA the legislation provided they wouldn't send any infringement notices til after the election... I'm predicting a flood of infringement notices right after the elections over. |
