MS To Become Open Source Friendly Post Gates
ruphus13 writes "Now that Gates has 'retired' from Microsoft, ZDNet is speculating that Microsoft will become much more Open Source friendly. From the article, 'We already see quite a different approach to dealing with OSS and OSS companies from Sam Ramji's group [which is] doing a great job in establishing dialog,' said Rafael Laguna, CEO of Open-Xchange and a former marketing exec at SUSE Linux. 'With Gates' departure, the only mammoth remaining is Ballmer. With him away in a near future, Microsoft will definitely open up. They have to.'" Microsoft could become the world's largest open source company; they've certainly made some concessions to it lately.
If that post was a troll, so was the parent of that last post.
"I know that this post was sarcastic and that the collective slashdot crowd is generally anti-Christian, but the sweeping generalizations are getting old."
The moderation my other comment received seems to contradict your assumption. Unless the moderators where offended because they believe in Santa.
so that's why he wasn't talking to himself in this thread! I was shocked tbh, I thought maybe all his imaginary friends had ditched him!
IranAir Flight 655 never forget!
You see,when you whip out that old M$ junk,it is the equivalent of waving your little weenie in everyone's face. So while you might be making the greatest speech on freedom since Thomas Paine,most aren't going to notice since you have your little weenie just a spinning at them like a stripper's tassel. Not to mention it makes you sound about as smart as those 12 year olds playing Halo.
So in the future if you would like your comments to actually be read and taken seriously,which I am sure you do otherwise why bother posting them,then lose the lame M$. If you don't want to type out Microsoft then please use the much more acceptable,and I would argue easily understandable for those that didn't use DOS, abbreviation MSFT. This cuts the letters you have to type in half without making your IQ seem to shrink too. So have a nice day Twitter and please in the future lose the M$.Brought to you by the abbreviation MSFT,it's a good thing.
ACs don't waste your time replying, your posts are never seen by me.
