Microsoft Adding Blogs to Longhorn?
prostoalex writes "A Microsoft Research project called 'Wallop' has weblogging and document-sharing features and will be integrated into the next-generation Microsoft OS. In related news, MSN is being split into two subdivisions, one of which will take care of communications tools (Messenger, Passport, Hotmail, ISP service), while the other will deal with Web properties (MSN.com, etc.)"
Slashdot adding blogs?! HAHAHA... err, oh wait.
And we all say "Amen".
Praise the lord, ye almight Gates, whose code is not flawless and security not impeded!
Karma: Chameleon (mostly due to the fact that you come and go).
Coming up next on your worst nightmare: blogspot, livejournal, movable type, etc. get sued for infringing on M$'s upcoming patent on blogs.
Note that this is a satirical post, so please don't think that I am claiming that M$ is going to patent blogs. I no way of knowing this.

Thanks a lot microsoft, for making another security risk. The hackers will have a field day with this one!
i want to know what my windows machine is thinking while it's trying to retain its memory. does it wish it was another os? does it wonder why this is happening again?... i mean didn't i just blue screen a few minutes ago for the very same reason? the blue screen would be the perfect place for such discussion. i'm sitting there captivated!
i want to know! tell me windows! how do you feel about this?
Hell, they'll get Blogger if they take over Google.
And a Google disruption can mean only one thing: Invasion.
I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate.
Let's take that ball and run with it, shall we? If there is an anti-MS post that gets /.ed, and it is hosted on MS's servers, howlong do you think it would take for MSN to cite the user on violation of terms of service?

I think it's a cool idea to use the GPU to assist in performing other computations. To make this process even more powerful, I think they should integrate a GPU onto the CPU itself. That way, um... er...
I'll shut up now.
You want the truthiness? You can't handle the truthiness!
Great, now they're going to steal the idea of a weblog, which Slashdot was the originator of.
I can see it now:

Their marketing division must be drunk. 'Wallop'? 'SHell'?
There's a growing sense that even if The Future comes,
most of us won't be able to afford it.

Blogs are an integral part of the OS.
Excellent! I just have to wait until 2006 to start my blog! ...or, I could download Movable Type today. Of course, I'd miss out on all the great wizards if I did that.
"It looks like you are trying to write a Microsoft-bashing post! Would you like me to manually delete it for you, or do you want your Windows license to be revoked?"
Is this rock and roll, or a form of state control?
The last couple of days have produced a flood of LongHorn related FUD being propigated around the media ... it hasn't been covered here at Slashdot yet, but I read a few interesting items yesterday ...
... a special key stroke on the keyboard will cause your computer to dispense ice cream from the floppy drive.
... with LongHorn, the cd-tray will be able to accept and grill hamburger patties.
... these are just a few of the major points I've seen going around.
-- Microsoft research has yielded a new feature which will be included in LongHorn
-- Microsoft research has also found a way to incorporate a george foreman grill directly into the operating system. Users will no longer need to purchase a separate piece of hardware
-- In another Microsoft research innovation, LongHorn will be able to determine the users emotions and can react accordingly. For example, if the user is feeling sad, LongHorn will emit cute furry kittens, to the user's delight, from various fan ports in the case. Some newer model PC's will support puppies as well.
I'm sure there's more
