Windows Server 2003 Is A Small Step Forward

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the tide-turn-or-whistling-crickets dept.

b17bmbr writes "According to eWeek, 'The release of Windows Server 2003 is a small step forward for the platform -- an effort that really should be considered Windows 2000 Server Second Edition. With the exception of Internet Information Services 6.0, there aren't any far-reaching or fundamental changes in the product.' And from CNet Microsoft prepares Windows Server ads, 'The ads are geared toward IT managers on tight budgets.' This is probably Microsoft's last chance to turn the tide and take mindset and market share from FOSS."

      Yeah... that was pathetic. I would say I would love to see the canadian team lose, but all dirty canucks are polluting the american gene pool in the NHL anyway

      Yer nuts, amaricans can go play their little football and sit in little huddles and discuss what the best strategy is. Or bore the fuck out of everyone with their baseball.

      Get these shithead american disney fuckers out of hockey altogether. The fucking Mighty Ducks? Only in california would you name a professional team after a shitty B-grade disney flick. Think how pissed the british would be if you named a pro soccer team the Ladybugs.

      And then you got these goofy ass hockey clubs in tampa bay and pheonix and other places where they wouldnt know an ice rink from a shrinky dink. I mean do all those cuban refugees in florida get off on hockey? Or stealing hubcaps.. I thought so.

      Fuckin ridiculous. I hate having to live in america and watch hockey, with know-nothing douchebags like Larry the Fairy Melrose yammering on. Don Cherry would eat that little bitch for lunch and shit him out before he went to bed. Grapes doesnt fucking go boo-hoo-hoo because Jeremy Roenick gets hit hard chasing a puck into the corner with his head down. Hey Mr 6th best american scorer in the NHL, KEEP YOUR FUCKING HEAD UP GOING INTO THE BOARDS. YOU SHOULD HAVE LEARNED THAT IN FUCKING PEEWEE LEAGUES.

      Oh well, if the leafs cant do it this year Ottawa will, and even though they're a joke of a club it's better than watching some store-bought american crap club (as american as an all european and canadian club can be) take it.

      And whats with this nigger playing for philidelphia? Gets them called for too many men on the ice. What a moron, no wonder niggers dont play hockey. Cant even count to 5. Sheesh.

    "Your area of the country also tends to vote Democrat, so don't use that area of the country as a good barometer of wise decision-making."

    Weird. I always thought an economy showing growth was considered a good thing.

    Vote Republican! Prosperity is boring!
