us Solaris x86 people Well, you and Bob should just be patient and wait until Opera has 10%+ market share before they tackle the really nasty issues with Solaris.
As opposed to Apple, who use the most generic term possible for their OS (OS). And how about creating your keynote in Keynote, or editing some pages in Pages. I know, let's add some numbers, I'll just use Numbers for that.
I see a lot of complaining, mostly about how the software is not truly free or open because it targets Windows or runs on.NET
But why is nobody complaining about the fact that the source control system is Team Foundation Server. You should try to get some source from a project using Visual Studio. It can be done with free software (Visual Studio Express and Team Explorer add on. It's not pretty compared to Subversion for instance.
To be "open" and "free" for software, it must not be limited to a single operating system, a single database system or a single flavor or implementation of some standard, be it SQL, Ajax or Phyton. Well that view kind of limits "open" and "free" software. By your logic, software that only runs on Windows is not "free" or "open". Let's take an example. I use TortoiseSVN, a graphical Subversion client that runs on Windows and needs Explorer (not hosted on Codeplex though). It cost nothing (free), the source can be viewed (open), it is released under the GPL (free).
Is it not "free" and "open" because I can't change Explorer or Windows?
Wha? You really think people will browse codeplex, find software for sharepoint and then
buy some expensive closed source package to use it. Has it occurred to you that maybe they already have sharepoint and were looking for some software that extends it or makes it better/easier. There's always room for OSS software, no matter what platform it runs on, as long as someone uses that platform. In fact, Windows,.NET and Sharepoint are widely used platforms.
Well, then you should have a look over at the official IIS website amd see some of the improvements for IIS 7. Version 6 added more stability and allowed applications to be pooled, IIS 7 will allow full control over web server settings using the (formerly ASP.NET exclusive) web.config file. Also, Microsoft has been working on a new Fast CGI implementation which means that (for instance) PHP or Ruby will run under good conditions on IIS. Then there's ASP.NEt which has matured to a stable webplatform with good performance, big community, some good open source components, and support for multiple languages (including Python and Ruby in the near future) and a free IDE (Visual Web Developer Express). Last but not least, IIS in Vista has completely new administration screens, which makes it easier to configure.
I hear the security track record for IIS 6 is also pretty good.
So all together, I think IIS is good value, not just for professionals, but also for students and hobbyists.
Well, maybe they would communicate like we do now, without moving, over some kind of connection. Perhaps they'd be more like plant and their roots are used for communication. But what do plant talk about, the weather?
It doesn't have the features of a full office suite. Do you understand that might actually be a good thing? Think about it, the majority of people use only a small subset of all Office features.
However, it isn't an intentional scheme that is devised to separate the player from his money. No of course not, the gambling industry is not like that, is it?
So I have never ever checked source code from Linux, and I don't know C or C++, but I decided to look at some changes. The first code I see has a goto in it. I always thought goto was considered harmful?
If your variable names are so freakin long Yeah, just call your first variable a, the next one b etc. That's really good refactoring right there. Oh and convince Microsoft to rename ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["whatever"] .ConnectionString to A.B["whatever"].C while you're at it.
Or, here's an idea, we can stop this fscking nonsense. What exactly is missing from your life that will be solved by your being traced and followed wherever you go and whatever you do? Are you that desperate to finally see personalized commercials on your subway ride to work?
Are we seriously not seeing enough ads yet? Are they not making enough money yet? Is the world a better place when businesses can harvest all this information?
Tell you what, if the vice-president also gets a number and we can see what chairs he sat on it's fine. Somehow I don't see that happening?

These names still beat stuff like K/J/GNumeric.
Well, he might have changed his blogpost, but this high traffic site is still saying that BioShock installs a rootkit. So mission accomplished...

Ok, so I get your point, but does it relate to this particular book?

Well, if you look at Vista, can you blame companies for making more powerful computers?

But between now and then there will be three years of the Linux desktop, so Windows 7 will be irrelevant.
"assuming that people will code poorly"
Javascript doesn't accept that, so why is that good for markup?
"Does it cover anything at all?" Their asses
Could be that they want the patent as a means to fight companies that create spy ware.
How many houses have you been in?
