| 1201134 | 2011-05-11 09:15:00 | Please name one piece of MS software that runs natively on Linux. Multi platform is more than just Windows and Mac. Why would you want software from MS to run on Linux? A bit like asking for a PC to run everything regardless of hardware I suspect. |

| 1201138 | 2011-05-11 09:54:00 | The point I would make is that a number of posters do not know for a fact what will happen to Skype and I would be among them. | Snorkbox (15764) | ||

| 1201141 | 2011-05-11 10:16:00 | ^It's the top entry on reddit. What a bunch of doom and gloom merchants, plenty of MS software is multi platform, mstsc/live messenger/office....I seem to have all these things on my mac. I see it staying multi platform, if not becoming more so. IE integrating with PABX's etc, at the moment it's very hard to find a standard that everyone uses, I reckon with MS ownership this is very possible. Well done! Was it whisky or tinted lenses ? ;) |
