microsoft isn't a linux contributor. they have merely contributed code to make linux play nicer with their software. if they want to be considered a "key" contributor, they need to contribute to making linux a better OS on its own
yep, statistical analysis isn't rocket science. that's why telemarketers badger soooo many people; if you collect enough data, you eventually get a trend, and any bullshit responses will be stripped out as outliers. the only way to fool statistics would be to get enough of the sample (assuming you even knew it and could contact them yourself before the telemarketers) to give the same bullshit answers.
btw, you're sick dude. raping seven puppies while typing your post is just not cool... admitting it in your post is even less so
actually, i guess cost doesn't have to mean what you pay for it (price) but cost to develop
"The cost of developing all the packages included in Debian 5.0 lenny (323 million lines of code), using the COCOMO model, has been estimated to be about US$ 8 billion. Ohloh estimates that the codebase (54 million lines of code), using the COCOMO model, would cost about US$ 1 billion to develop." [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debian#Organization]
i dunno. i don't personally do it. i just know plenty that do.
i don't think buying pirate movies is why people go overseas; they go to have a holiday.
buying pirate movies is just a perk i guess. instead of buying a tshirt for your kids, you can get 30 movies that would cost you a small fortune at home.
microsoft can bring whatever they want, but for many people there's still a sour taste from various pos that microsoft brought to the table in the past (vista, oem rorts, fud, ie6, etc)
if i go full tard one day, maybe i'll take your advice. until then local storage and libre office does the job for me just fine
libre office: non-profit, community driven
microsoft, google: would sell their own mothers to make a buck, end-user care factor is non-existent
just american pop music. asia has its own pop stars, many of which probably have more fans than the beatles. americans just can't see it through the insides of their ass holes.

you're a fucking idiot. if you read (and comprehend) your own post you'll realize it too
who the hell is Anderson Cooper?
i think gp probably knows because of all the gay porn he's obsessed with
Then, you *TRIED* to impersonate me too when I was not even IN THIS DISCUSSION in the 1st place
you poor thing. that wasn't me actually, but how could you have known (AC has its uses)
I must actually THANK you for making ME, look great

lay off the gay porn dude
microsoft servers are designed to keep the IT industry employed

Come on, you wouldn't feed this crap to a compiler so why do you feel able to feed it to humans?
because compilers at least do something for you, whereas fellow slashdotters are idiots that deserve nothing but badmouthing and bad spelling
watched star wars one too many times, he has
get a real rack with wheels
you leave my wife out of this, though i'll admit i should never have given her the car keys
you're right; motherboards are so much more artistic than picaso anyway
sounds like an awesome recipe for getting filthy rich, since apple is at the top (out of tech companies anyway)
darl vader
i wonder if i'm the only one who thought of "rimjobs" when i saw a comment about apple followed by a comment about rim?
if apple and rim got together, maybe they could market a new phone with such name. sex sells after all

i guess i got a good deal then
companies taking each other to court over patents is becoming the norm
email and phone are so yesterday. all "now" tech companies will start communicating with each other via litigation lawyers.
how times change

Microsoft is bringing things to the table

"wintel"
why will it eventually be overtaken by samsung?
"winfail"
Instead of being intentionally ignorant, try reading the report even if you don't agree with it.
are you one of those silly fat bastards who reads and interprets the entirety of every eula he is subjected to? i wouldn't be at all surprised
omg they have coke at porn conventions!?
