Cringley on Microsoft and Linux

Posted by michael on from the a-week-without-cringley-is-like-a-week-without-sunshine dept.

brentlaminack writes "Time for this week's dose of I, Cringely. This week the Cringe talks about Ballmer's Orlando comments from this week. He compares Ballmer's comments with Linus's. Nothing new here for the /. group, but a good read for the non-technical."

    Because we're trying to be better than them. That's the kind of thinking I'd expect from a 13-year-old spotty-face who's just installed Mandrake on his parents' computer and thinks he's l33t (but hasn't quite thought far enough ahead to realise the shit he's in when they get home...)

    Like sneak some code in Slashcode that makes it not validate as proper HTML, not close its tables properly, or possibly randomly spit out 500 server errors? I'll see what I can do about that.
