Microsoft COO Warns Google Away From Corp Search
Forbes is reporting on comments made by Microsoft COO Kevin Turner, concerning the corporate search business. At a company conference in Boston, Turner referred to the enterprise search business as 'our house', and warned Google to stay out. From the article: "Those people are not going to be allowed to take food off our plate, because that is what they are intending to do ... Enterprise search is our business, it's our house and Google is not going to take that business"
This is Slashdot. Inside the Slashdot bubble, nothing that Microsoft has ever done has been worth anything, and nothing that they ever do will be worth looking at. Bill Gates is evil. Linux and/or OS X have a huge, ever-growing percentage of the market share and will eventually take over the world. Neither has ever had a security problem that wasn't immediately and completely fixed. Firefox will destroy Internet Explorer. Vista and IE7 will be irrelevant. FreeBSD is dead. And whoever modded your post up will have it rated "Unfair" in metamoderation.
MS will not simply disappear overnight, as you seem to imply. It's in the midst of a long slide
Oh my, you're one of those fucktards who keep telling us that the Linux revolution is right around the corner, eh? I've been hearing this jabber for years and it's still the same grind and those with the money and power aren't falling for your bad noise. Go blow it out your ass.
If only you could have included the even more classic. First they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win quote that all linux nuts know by heart I would have been even more impressed.
First they laugh at you
Then they fight you
Then the realize why are they arguing with a 27 year old living in his parent's basement
