Microsoft just can't stand it can they?
Patents by them copied by linux? Why so linux will suck ass?
Who is this Hilf joker? Fee software dead? LOL There are 1,000s of free software projects all over the place.
When will the supreme court rule that software patents are BS?
Redhat centos oracle linux who needs em?
archlinux etc. or freebsd etc. and bam ready to go.
What is needed is more people who can program working apps.
Scary if everyone goes with google to find things, then that one source censors.......is this what the future holds?......it's already kinda hard to get local election info on google.....and then controversial subjects will be buried becuase google is someone to sue by any government interest group....scary 1984?
This is funny, some guy trying to profit by bringing academic comp sci resreach to his netwrok and selling access. Too bad academic already publish most of thier stuff as oss!!! plt scheme, CMU common lisp, openmosix, GNU you name it, its already there, so where is the value add? Translating academic speak? That sounds liek marketing...academic speak english in USA!
I use icewm on freebsd and arch linux and it is indisinguishable from windows desktop. i have a bar with an icon for each open app, an icon to minimize all, plus I can create icon to open my 12 favorite apps all in one go by calling a script... Small convenience factors are not there for say pasting screenshots into email etc. but I am sure with a bit of setup these little lazyman features can be smoothed out. Webmail is already nicer than using yahoo mail which millions do without blinking an eye, and innovations like a picture pastebin can make pics available even in meetings etc. and to people outside the company for even larger scale collaboration than pasting screenshots. Plus with all the money you save on microsoft your engineers are free to customize your app far beyond microsoft's feature set... My current company is hobbled support corporate apps servers and a hybrid network of corp softwara and linux and corporate db on a 3rd os (coff solaris coff). I can only philosophize what our apps could do if they were all free software such as LAMP. Also there would be no more chasing licenses, no more unsupported corp software headaches, and most open software can be upgraded without pain. Don't think redhat isn't corporate software. I am talking about using postgresql with arch linux and aolserver and tcl kinda open source, not pseudo corporate attempting to be branded as "enterprise (better than normal) linux" jboss on redhat or suse kinda stuff where the profit motive makes the vendor hold info, hobbling the power of the open software. Again the tools are there and have been. Wipe away microsoft and place things like archlinux postgresql etc on your hardware and let good things happen. Give haskell, squeak, forth, or lisp a project or 4.... Hire some professors of computer science as advisors/consultants instead of accenture........
Oracle will offer support cheap at first, then raise the price. Typical monopolist behavior. If I was redhat I would grow my postgresql offerings and eat Oracle up as linux in general is eating microsft on sun.
I mean its better than star trek next G crap, better than 95% movies out there, but wasn't THAT great a story.
Bravo that someone likes ti tho.
Long live science fiction.
Are you one of those crazy euro tpes who claims the standard of living is higher in you little country? BAH! The usa will always have a ton of good looking happy people who reproduce. YEP
