I think the real problem is, those evil trolls at Apple have hired all the good programmers and left Microsoft all the third-rate people. The second-raters are working for themselves, start-up companies or in teaching positions.

MS will never be safe until Apple is destroyed, . How dare they release better software with fewer bugs and fewer security issues, and that works the first time, every time, those heartless bastards? Then they also have the nerve to sell their programs for less. The gall of those Jobs Jockeys!

so much money… and office politics… it would be hard to come up with something innovative. But they do come up with somethings and get better at it within few years.. ;p

check out this article originally written on March 26, 2001 by David A. Wheeler titled Microsoft, the Innovator?

good comparison and the mistake make by Microsoft. However Microsoft is like a Giant on Operating System industry. They still growth. If Microsoft still make a mistake the Giant will fall down in future.

“Another cool feature is a program that records your computer activity: mouse clicks, buttons pushed.”

Is no one else a little concerned about this?

In what way has MS underestimated Linux? Linux has something like 1% share for desktop, and 15% for servers. Until recent years, MS didn’t even try to run on supercomputers — and their progress into the supercomputer market is continuing to grow.”

Say what? You need to get your figures correct – Linux has more servers running than all other opsys’s combined! 15%? That’s SALES figures! Linux is free and sales are 15% of the SALES. The free servers aren’t included in that figure. Hey I run MS on most of my computers, but feel quite obviously Linux will eventually kill Windows – thats a gimmee. Microsoft is programming it’s way to a dead end. Apple realized that they were doing the same and changed to Unix and now they are starting to compete on price and quality like never before. Personally, I think MS will go under like GM and all the other corps that think profits aren’t important, just sales figures.

Please donate your old boxes to a church-group or some needy student in these hard times! To comply with the law, and with Microsoft’s leasing policy, you can now replace Microsoft OS with the free (download from the net) Ubuntu OS, which can be set to erase the hard drive of all traces of the “illegal to give away ” Microsoft system and your private information, before donation! Now, explain to your lucky recipient that all the manuals they will ever need are available for free on the internet! Just ask for them in Google! OpenOffice, which is installed already is plenty adequate for homework assignments and with a little exploring, everything else can work well too! Happy computing!
