Gates on Spyware and OS Competition

Posted by michael on from the phear-the-penguin dept.

Ant writes "CNET's News.com has an article that says Microsoft plans to offer its own anti-spyware software." prostoalex writes "Both OsNews and InfoWorld talk about Bill Gates' speech at the Computer History Museum in California. Gates is noting that Linux is taking over, and claims that 10 years forward Linux and Windows will be the only OSs left in the market."

    No, No, No.

    You see in 10 years, when Longhorn is finally released, this OS will have copied all of the features of OS X therefore really reducing the options to Linux and Longhorn.

    Yes! I listen to NYC Speedcore and do math at 3AM. I suggest you try it too.

    but I thought windows was spyware before anyone was even using the term for other software.

    I don't know if the registration system could fall any other name....

    The link is to:

    Which of course resolves to:
    www.aderkach.org/?=sch

    which along with the usual imagery also causes my Firefox to spaz around the screen effectively requireing a crash out of Firefox to end.

    Interesting how its does that.

    It's particularly interesting to see the damage that page does to IE, even with Googlebar & Proximitron on full alert...

    Remember who the parent is quoting here... the same person that said 640k ought to be enough for anybody.

    You were an intern at a peripheral MS division, probably having "making coffee and photocopying" as your primary job description and you think you can comment on their design methodology just because you designed a flash banner? Jesus Christ, I cannot wait for you to enter the real world and get slapped in the face...

    Oh, btw, I work at Administrative services at MS - I have access to your HR file. There was NEVER an offer made to you to stay with us, in fact the comments made about your performance in Microsoft question your ability to work under stress as well as your intelligence. You had only one positive comment in performance review. Pathetic just pathetic...

    Posting as AC for obvious reasons...
