    Could you have been any LESS enthusiastic about that blurb? What, have your hopes for "armageddon courtesy of your pals at Microsoft" been obliterated? Sorry to hear it.

    Anyway, this is a really good indication on the part of MS...perhaps an indicator of more initiative on these problems in the future. I definitely think that this is the type of thing that they need to continue if they wish to salvage their reputation at all...

      Why? Because at times like these when the FBI is engineering Trojan horses to be snuck onto people's computers--and the US antivirus industry has capitulated--closed source operating systems, browsers and other software seriously lose credibility with anyone desirng privacy.

      Dude, lay off the Deus Ex.

      Mozilla and Konqueror might not do everything that IE can do, but they have 80-90% of its functionality. Try KDE under Mandrake 8.1 and you'll see just how far OSS has come.

      I run SuSE 7.2 with KDE at home, actually. WinME on my gaming machine. I'm not insulting OSS, I'm just insulting the zealotous. If people want open source to rule, they need to be more humble, open, and not so elitest. Because most of those that make the decisions in computer companies get completely turned off by closed-visioned, zealotous elitests.
