Know what. Your clients are not representative of all Windows users, some of whom are trapped on IE6 due to corporate reliance on apps that will only run on that terrible POS. In any case even if you're right I will still need to support IE7, IE8, IE9 and IE10 for similar reasons.
Thanks for the original BS logic that because you failed to find Top Gear criticizing BP on Google that there was some conspiracy to protect the shareholders (a large proportion of whom are Americans). You are just a total fuckwit with some ridiculous trans-Atlantic chip on your shoulder. Now do yourself a favour and see if you can actually use Google to look up why BP is not, and has not been for a long time, British Petroleum. That's if you can remove your head from your enormous arse.
I think you and I have different understanding of the word extend. Maybe I should have said that a lot of the.NET classes and modules can be replaced by your own ones. For example the writing of a 1.7oz burger module to replace the default 1.6oz burger module would require implementing the IBurger.NET interface on your 1.7oz class and putting the necessary logic into the required methods. The new 1.7oz module could then be plugged in in place of the 1.6oz module and would be executed by the framework in the same way. Et voila a 1.7oz burger produced by using.NET. No fried squirrels, but then this is the 21st century.
Perhaps the man who doesn't want any.NET developers as either staff or customers should try having a look at what.NET is capable of before making stupid statements like that one.
You simply can extend.NET to produce your 1.7 oz burger since it's very customizable and doesn't just require you to do everything one way. He obviously knows fuck all about it and just thinks it's the same as VB6.
He's also forgotten that in corporate land it can't be run on the majority of PCs so there will be a wonderful repeat of the having to support IE6 long past its sell-by date fiasco only this time with IE8. At least IE8 sucks less but web designers and developers will need a VM with IE8 for at least another 5 years.
Linux is everywhere right now. It can be found in mobile phones, TVs, settop boxes, blu ray players, NAS, not to mention all the servers that run it. OK these devices are not running Ubuntu but from where I'm sitting Linux has taken over the world. It couldn't get traction on the desktop for a number of reasons but now that the desktop is becoming less relevant Linux is coming to the fore in a big way.
They haven't been convicted of serious monopoly abuse in two of the world's largest markets yet, nor do they have a long history of using illegal means to crush anyone who dares threaten that monopoly.
Nothing to do with Microsoft being uncool and everything to with them being a habitual law-breaker. When Google have a similar shady past then I'm sure they'll take just as much shit as Microsoft deservedly do now.

Since you value £100 so little please send it to me.
Not for those of us who will now need to add a Vista VM to our 3 XP VMs to make sure that our websites look right in IE6, 7, 8, 9 and 10.
The next generation of the new aristocracy will take over and it will be business as usual.
Europe isn't a country though - it's a collection of countries all with very different notions of patriotism.
Probably cherry-picked words to create a non-existent controversy - and YOU'RE PAYING. Oh and Google causes cancer. Oh wait it cures it.
What data structure(s) would those be?

Stick your dumbass Yankee whining up your arse. One word for you: Halliburton.

Does anyone actually use this?

It's quite ironic that Microsoft find themselves in exactly the same position in the mobile space as their desktop OS competitors have been stuck in.

Good plan.
Maybe the government wouldn't go after large corps so much if they paid their taxes.
MS have a long history of bungling. I vote this post for best typo of the month award!
Car manufacturers still make parts for models that haven't been available for decades so your analogy there fails.
You could always switch to Opera which works with iOS 2.2.1 or later although bizarrely it says you have to be over 17 to download it? Why?
That is nowhere near as annoying as the "display a line 1 character at a time beeping as you go' Hollywood idea of a text display.
Why the hell do they do that? What self-respecting geek would use something so annoying that it bleeps every time it displays a character?
