it's just such a nice colour of purple though;-) almost wants me to go out and buy a m$ product, but i'm sure i'd end up seeing red preatty soon after the price tag.
But seriously this is an example of why our current capatilist society does not work, there is no responsiblity behind the ads. As you can easily see, m$ is not portraying their product very openly. My point being, our society encourages people to buy alot of crap. Mind you this does help drive our economy further, but i don't think it is sustainable.
The only valid point that the add brings to light is m$ has a lot of cheap work force available (through their m$ certification program), and that purple is a nice colour. But like in everything, you pay for what you get. If you hire a cheap m$ cert. then you will probably get a crappy server. If you spend the big bucks for some iron clad *nix type server and admin, your probably going to get a much more stable and versitile computing environment. But linux is starting to bring in the best of both worlds, (being cheap certs. and experienced administrators), with linux+, LPI, and RHCE.
my 2 cents. warren peace
ps. since the purple is a spoof on the sun purple, may as well get the real colour
Way to give the RIAA the idea they could start sueing companies like cisco, and perhaps the isp's, the manufacturers of ethernet cables, NIC's, etc. etc. ahh f**k the RIAA.
sigh i'd like to sue their ass.
oh won't somebody think of the children?

Currently i do not own a cell phone for 2 reasons:
1. I am not convinced it is safe
2. i don't like the big capatilist companies
also for those ghz computer users, some of my electronics friends have expressed concerns about the same worries of using a cell phone, mind you a computer is not pressed up against your head, but still (hey remember Jonny Nemonic [sic] plague) you can have the cpu in a different room.
so needless to say i like having pay phones available.
Though I think cell phones are great for car travelling for safety reasons.
