Absolutely correct! Microsoft's approach to app interopability was wrong-headed from the get-go Too little attention was paid to security issues and reliability.
Now see the fruits of the company's sloppy, fuzzy-headed thinking! Hackers have penetrated Microsoft itself and stolen proprietary data.
How can government or corporate customers feel good about using Microsoft products when Microsoft can't even defend itself against attack? If I were a Microsoft shop, I'd want to get to Linux as soon as I could!
I hope to god that whoever stole the source code publishes it in all the major forums and distribution channels. Then we'll get a good look at the true workings of the "mature and professionally developed" software nuisance that Bill Gates thinks is so wonderful.
We'll also see how the file formats are structured enabling us to migrate our data OUT of Microsoft applications (like Outlook) and onto reliable platforms like Linux!

What I don't understand is why the Navy allowed this to happen. The Navy ousted Windows NT from shipboard use because upgrades were too slow in appearing. Now they're letting the fox back in the henhouse!
Believe me, there's going to be hell to pay when a United States aircraft carrier getes nuked because their information infrastructure goes into Blue Screen Of Death mode. No EULA will protect Microsoft from the ensueing PR debacle.

X Files episode was the lamest I've seen

Yes, the FPS X-Files episode was about as lame as it gets. Many problems like "how did Mulder and Scully get digitized and transported into the computer/gaming realm"? Yeah right. Even the trailers for the episode were lame. The "Thresh" clone was amuzingly bad as he stands there gauking at the awesome Krista Allen. Legendary world-class gamer? Phfffttt! And although Krista Allen comes about as close to my ultimate dream-babe (second only to Pamela Anderson Lee as Barb Wire) even *she* couldn't redeam this episode. - Speaker
