Ballmer Admits 'Linux Changed Our Game'
wackybrit writes: "We've all known Linux has got Microsoft all worried, but they've always denied it. On Monday at a conference in LA, however, Steve Ballmer (of Microsoft) confessed that the FUD surrounding Linux isn't quite what it was made out to be. The Register has also covered the story in an easier to read fashion. They point out that Microsoft has just changed a page on their site which originally derided Linux, but now simply states what 'Windows does better.'"
Gandhi had nothing to do with India gaining its independence. The British left when they felt it wasn't worth it to colonize India anymore - which was about the same time they abandoned most of their other colonies - check your history references.
The British loved Gandhi because he preached non-violence and passiveness - exactly what the British wanted to see in their subjects. The British-controlled media therefore projected Gandhi to be the leader of the masses.
The Hindus and Muslims were sworn enemies before Gandhi - the British were a mere distraction in their fight against each other.
Mmmm.. Donuts
