Windows Cheaper When Studied by MSFT Analysts

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the well-here's-a-surprise dept.

richdun writes "Here is a study done by an independent research firm which claims that under certain circumstances, it is cheaper to develop applications and enterprise solutions for Windows than for Linux. They cite costs from more education, time developing, etc. Of course, the story is quick to state that the whole study was funded and commissioned by our favorite Redmond, WA based software giant. "

  1. you completely inhale the shit out of goatse's ass by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    It has come to my attention that you completely inhale the shit out of goatse's ass. Read on for more about this fascinating topic.

    The world went into shock a few weeks ago when goatse.info reported the results of a study which concluded that inhaling shit is a very dangerous pastime, one that no one is advised to take up. Eventually, everyone adapted to the new state of affairs and began inhaling other things. Almost everyone, that is. But not you! According to my records, you still inhale shit!

    Why?! What the fuck is wrong with you?!

    You moron, you idiot, you imbecile, you gay nigger ! Arg! You make me so fucking sick! FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU.

    Oh sorry, I didn't sleep too well last night. I only read the original author saying "scale is tipped drastically" but didn't realize that he didn't specify the direction...

    So paying a VB script kiddie to make something shiny costs less than getting a java guru to make something that works? wow!

    That's what Microsoft says, but any musician will tell you that a sharp sign has upright verticals and slanted horizontals - a pound sign has slanted verticals and level horizontals. There's a separate unicode and HTML character for sharp, but Microsoft uses pound.

    I have to tell you, you sounded mostly intelligent in your first post, and now you just sound like a zealous loser. Please, drop the stupid pound vs. sharp vs. eucothorpe or whatever the hell people call it. The language is pronounced "C Sharp". Get over it.
