WHO do these whores talk to? Government. The people that decide the rules and apply the rules. Microsoft is using these think tanks because Oracle and Sun used them so effectively to get the DOJ to investigate.
Wrong. Utterly wrong. Everyone will need that, yes but it is far from all everyone needs. Beyond that you're in the relm of industry specific software. HR departments need Peoplesoft, SAP, etc. Doctors and Nurses need Patient tracking software, finance departments need Hyperion, Peachtree and the like. They'll need PROFESSIONAL support for all that. Your inability to see that is exactly the problem linux development faces.
You, and most slashdottians, are missing the point of think tanks. They are there to push a position. That means taking sides. Not being independant. These are not news organizations. They may be paid, but if their argeuments don't hold up, then the idea fails. That is debate. In debate, no one stands around and says, "I don't have an opinion, I just do what works." In debate, you take a side and defend it vigorously. Just like the majority does here for linux.
That is not some neferious plot from Microsoft. That is a choice made by Developers. Developers make that choice because Microsoft bends over backward for them. Linux sticks out their tounges at them and their "corporate" software. Gee, who would you write for in that situation?
Easy, think of every corporation out there. MS licensing is expensive, complecated, and every changing. MS products install on "good faith" meaning it still works if not licensed. What do you think is happening out there? Corps are buying the server license to install, but they are not buying the CALs for users to connect.
I highly doubt the OSS community can handle itself on the major news outlets. Everytime RMS is on he is an utter discrace who proves he doesn't get it. Too many OSS people are elitest and don't have the same computing goals as the average user. I'm sure Microsoft would just love it if RMS or the average slashdotter got on TV to debate.
Revisionism has everything to do with it because the fact is that Reagon pushed for those deficits, demanded those deficits, rallied support for those deficits and got those deficits. Fact: It took a Dem in the White House to do anything about those deficits.
Or maybe Microsoft is the premier platform to RUN APPLICATIONS. You know, the whole reason for being for an OS? OS2 didn't learn that lesson, Novell didn't learn that lesson, Apple didn't learn that lesson, Linux has been blind to that lesson. Your desktop needs do not meet the needs of businesses looking to smoothly run their business. Microsoft has a lot of faults, but anyone who can't see and acknowlege what Microsoft does well in the tech sense is blind and not qualified to offer an alternative.
Maybe the OSS community should fund some 'studies.' Surely Red Hat, Suse, IBM, et al could cough up the dough needed to hire THESE SAME THINKTANKS to attack Microsoft?
This has less to do with the minority of people who OC their home PCs and more to do with dishonest OEMs who sell overclocked systems without telling customers.
But that reaction doesn't change. Which was my point. Classic, static art paints one picture, one emotion. A film or game based art with change serveral time every second.
Linux GUIs have always been on par with Windows in system requirements/usage. People claiming small memory/cpu footprint in Linux were running command line only.
Seems Google is proving that PhDs are worth the money. A stark contrast to the current conventional "wisdom"
Re:what MS funded "study" about Linux isn't FUD?

Stallman vs Ken Brown
·
· Score: 1
But isn't this the same Stallman that insists on saying "GNU/Linux" instead of Linux? Gee, wonder where some confusion might creap in for the general population?
Except, as we have seen, it doesn't work against the backdrop of political intrege. That requires more intelligence. This is supposed to be a dark and moral quagmiere piece of film. We are talking about the FALL of good into evil. Falling into evil is not a kid's theme to be done offhand.

Hogwash. The became a monopoly because they worked hard at courting developers.

What if you're not in the business of building applications? What if you just want to run accounting software? Track patient data? etc?

If I had a penny for every time I heard that or heard about the impending doom of Microsoft...I'd be richer than Bill Gates.

You could use a rectal-cranium inversion stat!
Plus there was this thing called the airplane that came along and did all the same things that blimps did, but better.
But that reaction doesn't change. Which was my point. Classic, static art paints one picture, one emotion. A film or game based art with change serveral time every second.
...but because of the record companies' illegal cartel, had no other terms available to them.
Easy. Classical art is static. The art isn't reacting to anything or moving.
Linux GUIs have always been on par with Windows in system requirements/usage. People claiming small memory/cpu footprint in Linux were running command line only.
Note I said the LOOKS of a person. Which is what the troll did.
Ahhh, so you are evaluating your software based on looks of the people in the company? Wow. Can it get any more closed minded than that?

Not to mention that I will go just to finish it. Don't care how bad I hear it is before I go, I will see it just for closure.
