It's the file that's supposed to contain the imbecile users mail-archives and private folders as a local backup when they save them as such. Only thing is, users keep forgetting to put a mark in "include subfolders" and so they loose 3 years of mail when the EEEEEVIIIIIILL supporter shows up to swap their old POS for a new shiny one. BOOOOOHOOOOO.
You're also ignoring that 7 will have more features than XP. Word is bigger than Notepad. Therefore Word is teh b10@3d!!! OMG!1! Bigger doesn't necessarily mean bloated. There might be some bloat, sure. But NEW FEATURES ADD TO THE SIZE OF SOFTWARE.
You are ignoring the fact that an OS is simply a platform of running other apps on. The OS is not supposed to consume all the ram or even try to "push the boundaries" in the first place. RAM is for executing apps, multiple apps, perhaps a plethora of apps; ram-requiring processes of which the OS is only ONE. If the OS is a ram-hog, you're shit out of luck because it's the ONE PROCESS you're sure will be running alongside each and every time you launch an app.
Uhh, a major release of an operating system with 93% of market share dropped today. For some reason there is a lot of press coverage.
Idiot.
I see you're the "quantity over quality"-kinda guy.
Fact of the matter is : Microsoft would NEVER retain their position if they competed solely on merit, and not on lock-in-formats, lawyers and general user-obliviousness. Yes, users are stupid, they think computers = Windows; imagine if everyone (or at least an insanely inordinate amount of people) thought car = Ford. Really, imagine it, and tell me you don't think they'd sound stupid.
That is EXACTLY the reason why I'm migrating a lot of audience pc's from WinXP to Ubuntu; because even though the users are utterly useless when problems arise, they still manage to mess up their pc's, lockdown software or not.
For reference - that's 5%, essentially 5% profit. In most places in the business world, that would be considered screamingly successful. Doubly so since he's making an ongoing profit for work he did only once and isn't responsible for the ongoing work of marketing and stocking.
In a perfect world he would make 100% profit based on the merit of his content. Let's make it so kids, contemporary and elderly.
What? Oh, you expected more words before that last dot...not gonna happen, at least not from me.
Dear Sir or Madam,
The responsible Anti-Linux Troll that should have replied to this post by now is on sick leave and was unable to prepare a custom flaming reply to this particular post. In lieu of that, attached is our generic template which we use to write all our flaming responses.
1. Assert that the poster is wrong because you think so (that ought to convince everyone, but if it fails go to 2)
2. Call the poster a blind zealot (after all, religion and philosophy are the same thing and equally useless, right?)
3. Explain how unable you are to survive as a programmer in a world where you can't sit on your code for infinity to make money by charging for that which can be copied for free (as programmers can't possibly do anything else in the IT-arena with their skills), and generally explain how your responsibility to your kids is somehow bigger than your responsibility to your kids + the rest of the world.
4. Developers developers developers developers!
5. Give a detailed anecdote about how you manage to run a Windows-program succesfully.
6. Explain about how Microsoft is the dominant player on the market purely out of technical merit (nothing else of course).
7. Finish up trying defuse the effect of future responses by "anticipating" their arrival. Sentences like "But this is Slashdot so I'm expecting to get modded down" are quite popular.
We hope you will be able to infer the potential content of the post that should have been done by the respective Troll. Please accept our apologies.
Sincerely,
Assistant Secretary,

So the Mac costs more but will do whatever I want, Windows might do what I want sometimes but I have to work really hard at it, and Ubuntu won't do what I want and doesn't even pretend to care?
That's a wife to you? Dude, you better stay away from Ubuntu then, I mean, the resounding Vader-esque "NOOOOOO!" permeating your part of the hemisphere when you find out how a wife _could_ have been like all these years will cause traffic-accidents.
If anyone disagrees, then name a single piece of open source software that is better than its closed source competition. You cannot, because open source means lower quality due to its inherent lack of focus.
Holger Bech Nielsen is awesome, really the most geeky of geeks oblivious to his surroundings.
Saw this tv-report once, he was going to meet the queen of Denmark to be knighted or some of the kind. He couldn't put on a tuxedo himself. After his wife had helped him put on the tuxedo and he was all fancy he went out wearing his winter-hood (it was cold outside). After he came out from meeting the queen he reached into his pocket because he felt something strange, and pulled out a pair of gloves (when you meet the queen it's customary to wear gloves when you shake her hand), to which he with a heureka-surprise-kinda-expression on his face announced "OH LOOK GLOVES!".
He has a funny voice to and is enthusiastic about what he does, gotta love him. He attended Mensa-Denmarks 40-year anniversary as a guest-speaker. After 25 minutes we were all simultaneously intrigued and at the same time cracking up because of his character. It was awesome.
I'm conflicted though as to whether I have to hand in my geek-card or not. Got a picture where I'm sitting next to him, and what am I doing? I'm talking with the blonde across the table -.-'
Answer me this you fucking retard. Without copyright how the fuck do you think movies, music, games and software are going to remain viable endeavours?
When was art ever a viable endeavour? The problem lies with people who think being an artist is a regular nine-to-five job. IT ISN'T! Music was doing just fine before copyright came along. The problem arose when the technology enabled copying, then suddenly a rash of "artists" appeared who deemed it perfectly acceptable to utilize this new technology to mass-reproduce their own work for profit effortlessly, while denying everybody else to do the same.
Screw that. If I can't copy then neither should the artists themselves be allowed to. Lars Ulrich & Co. can come to my house and record a personal cd for me if they want to get paid.
Slashdot Mirror
Should make migration to Zimbra easier.

Demonstrate this new tech by making a nano-rickroll inside a chrystal.
Woah, Desperate Guy is Desperate!
UAC?
An updated Clippy?
Epic mod is Epic.

I know this is slashdot, but saying Windows 7 is not Ubuntu is just plain ridiculous.
Why is that? The positives of W7 are rooted in Microsoft's hostility towards interoperability and format-lock-in. That isn't really positive is it?
Windows 7 is Vista with lipstick, because calling it a pig would be plain rude to swine.

Danger-Webhosting - It's a trap!
I approve of this company - Admmiral Ackbar
When in doubt assume you're playing Diablo II on hardcore hell difficulty (aka. don't fuck up).

1) Cartoons are seldom sexy
3D-fascist!
Picking feminism to counter male-chauvinism with is like siding with Stalin to fight Hitler. I wanna drop the F-bomb on both kinds.
And it should, because we are FAR better served as a country by having professional journalists and bloggers, than by having bloggers alone.
Because truth takes a degree to convey?
What's the source on this number?
Yes it matters!
Like, for instance if C3PO said it, then it would matter alot!
...the cops went to the sexual correction facility to pick up their kids from daycare...

Well, we've been seriously delayed, the weather sucks. At least it can't get much worse.
