if its a festering insecure pile of shit who cares if it runs on more platforms? got to start over at some point, maybe work on a better foundation before more platforms...
Metro is nice, surface2 is nice, the problem is Microsoft crapped over their brand for so long by treating people like garbage..its coming back to bite them. The brand is about as trust worthy as some knockoffs.
Will you approach breaking changes more delicately in the future when python 4 comes around based on your experience watching the slow migration from 2 to 3.
We shouldn't have to pay for a gui toolkit/framework/whatever in 2009 especially if we want to write proprietary code in it. I give Nokia much credit, I had to use GTK for these purposes before, now I can use something a bit more sane.
But since they are insignificant in the browser market I'd probably do the same thing. This is a lame piece of news, companies blow larger deals on much sillier situations than this. It's just Opera trying to drum up some users.
what is their solution to a> making cobol programmers java developers or b> renting new java developers and having them understand the codebase quick enough to make emergency changes to the code when all is said and done.
Either way migration is still a monumental task.
Linux just isn't ready for the desktop yet. It may be ready for the web servers that you nerds use to distribute your TRON fanzines and personal Dungeons and Dragons web-sights across the world wide web, but the average computer user isn't going to spend months learning how to use a CLI and then hours compiling packages so that they can get a workable graphic interface to check their mail with, especially not when they already have a Windows machine that does its job perfectly well and is backed by a major corporation, as opposed to Linux which is only supported by a few unemployed nerds living in their mother's basement somewhere. The last thing I want is a level 5 dwarf (haha) providing me my OS.
HAHAHA I work for one large enterprise that was recently swallowed by another.. Oracles support is a joke, 95% of the time they provide nothing useful other than drones that sit on the conference call hoping that someone else figures out the problem first. Support is just over paid warm fuzzies, and I'd rather see that fuzzy money go to redhat who does something useful with it, than larry's billion dollar estates.

nothing this foundation does anymore is for the good of their users..why should the users come to their rescue now?
sucking cocks pays rent too probably even better, why not go do that?
company developers OS...people complain company has iron grip on their own product. wut?

redhat too, they just signed a deal with MS for virtualization.
I agree 100%
