Dear Microsoft Windows ...
SpaceCanary writes "I recently read this open letter to Windows and I think it's pretty funny. The guy writes a letter to his OS as if he was breaking up with it. It's a bit strange, but finally more people are starting to see the light and moving away from Windows. The writer chronicles his relationship with the versions of Windows and finally is able to move on in the end."
Redundant? I don't see any other posts saying the same thing. While I don't agree with 'troll', it's clearly not 'reduntant' or 'offtopic'. 'Overrated', if you must mod it down, although I'd be inclined to just leave it, if I ever got mod points these days.
Heh. I guess we can discuss this over lunch on the MS then, huh? Yeah, I have close ties with them as well but I wouldn't use Windows for anything except playing games; basically it's one pricey X-box.
:)
Aside from that, there is not one thing it can do better than open source. And don't give me this 'they have a larger market and thus are more of a target' crap. Sendmail and Apache have far larger markets than comparitive Microsoft products and they continually out perform and are more secure.
Use that in your next FUD piece. It'd be nice if it's actually based on facts for a change.
This is my sig. There are many like it but this one is mine.
Oh and for the record, there are alot of us in Microsoft and around the campus in Redmond and Bellevue. We work from within. We're also working on Microsofts vendors... their IT departments seem to be tired of products that have crappy security. Gee, I wonder why? :)

By the way, I have a JPG you would enjoy

Monopoly or not, Microsoft knows how to build a solid OS.
Dang, and me without points to mod this up (+1, Funny).
