Windows XP: Prices, And One Reaction

Home Full, 199.99, Home Upgrade, 99.99. Professional full, 299.99, Professional upgrade, 199.99." Perfect timing -- Fwis writes: "Use your power as a consumer to Boycott XP.
The site is now functioning smoothly, and we invite you to log in and
participate in discussions, polls, and news stories related to Microsoft's release
of the XP line of products." There are some interesting links on this page if you (or someone with purchasing power at your company) is considering XP.
How humiliating. The site is still down.
You really don't have legs to stand on as a group at all, do you?
I just heard some sad news on TV, apparently Slashdot website creator, Rob "CmdrTaco" Malda, was rushed to the hospital this afternoon after having his penis sliced off. Authorities say the accident involved Rob's penis, his computer, and an illegal computer device imported from China that was designed to stimulate the penis during cyber-sex. The authorities aren't releasing many details yet as to how it happened, but they suspect that the device malfunctioned which caused his penis to be sliced off. However, there is speculation among the Slashdot community that the Open Source Operating System "Linux" is to blame, for its faulty structure and lack of professional development. There is no word of whether there was any foul-play involved from hackers amongst the Linux community.

Microsoft has fucked everyone inside and out.... The only postive looking product they have have made is the xbox which looks like it will be the shit. Well, that and my microsoft intellimouse. hmmmmmm in the end I'm just a fucking poser running linux.

The Microsoft Crash
Gallery "

Oh yeah, and funny stuff about the Justice dept too!!! hahahha the same folks 'oppressing geeks and sklyarov'. HAHHAHA!
Linux geeks can't tell their heads from their asses!
Don't you get it? How the heck is a pimple faced 13 year old living in their moms basement going to afford this? I think that's reason enough to boycott it.

it will change nothing. there are about 5 linux users world-wide, and a majority of those still run some form of CLI. How is that going to compete with XP? get real..
