I disagree. The comic relief is essential to partially make up for all the damage they did and to some extent are still trying to do. Best is if Bill Gates just carries on besmirching his own place in history and dragging Microsoft through the street filth as it so richly deserves. A little more raping of investors who hoped to cash in on Microsoft's illegal business model won't hurt either.
Dell and MSFT may actually be able to pull a win out of their ass, shocking yes but it looks like they really have a shot.
A chance for Microsoft to spend too much money on a sunset business? A chance for Dell to have whatever life remains squashed by Microsoft's toxic corporate culture? Sure, they have a shot at something but I do not think it is what you think it is.
Try to receive 500 mails a day with it. This used to be no problem. Try to do anything with a large folder. Thunderbird is at least ten times faster, somethings 100 or 1000 times faster, and infinitely less buggy.
Removing the more bloated 'features' KDE is laden with by default would get most of us there. I suspect 99% of KDE users would be just fine without the Akonadi MySQL instance in their home directory.
For me it is Akonadi + Postgres which sucks slightly less but it still sucks enormously.
Regardless of size, I recall seeing some performance tests on Phoronix showing KDE being significantly faster at pretty much everything than Unity and Gnome. That was a couple of releases ago, but it was pretty impressive.
Except for kmail/akonadi, an unmitigated disaster.
All those street level images with women in them, they will al be photoshopped to put bhurkas on them.
Wow you just made me think of an excellent idea. Let's start a competing maps site (oh wait we already have openmaps) and lets have a street view with every chick under 30 completely nude. In about two days it will be more popular than google maps.
I can't help thinking here that HP screwed up their courage, took a deep breath, and did the wrong thing. Seems to me the prevailing argument ended up as "PC compatible" thus going with the weak-and-hot atom. But these servers are all going to be running Linux, so where's the argument for PC compabitility?
You can't define the market as "software stores for iOS devices" because Apple makes all the iOS devices
Don't explain that to me, explain that to the FTC. Note that the Sherman act relies to a large extent on the test of "market power". Does a corporation enjoy power over an identifiable market to the point where it can dictate prices? Bang, monopoly. Apple just better not piss off the wrong bureaucrat.

The solution is obvious. Gates needs to retire.

For classic laptops and minitowers, try Gateway. I did and I'm very pleased with the value for money. I'll be a repeat customer.

What makes you think it has anything to do with generosity?

Yeah, the MS astroturfers are all over this as usual.
It's impossible to have a sensible discussion about an interesting FOSS project without them squirting Ballmer-bile over the whole story.
The thought of ballmer juice squirting onto anything is enough to make me sick.
Oh wow.
What exactly is a gonzo drummer? Stoned and completely off time?
The earth is flat, within bounds. So they're right. Just don't sail off the edge.

I thought it was Alexander, 26 centuries ago.
It still look a lot better then the iYacht.
Zombie steve's iYacht only makes it to number 5 on google's ugliest yacht list.
kind of misses the point, huge-swinging-dick-look-at-me-hot-babes-wise, don:t you think?
Eric isn't much to look at, seems like a fit to me.
Your zombie Apple brain has rotted even more than before. Just don't drool on me.
Don't let your friends drool on me either.
Don't think hate matters, hmm? Check this out:
EA flat on its back
Set to "all". Note the hate effect.

Probably not, their markets have healthy competition.
iTunes does?
iPhone App store does?
Macbook has a second source? If not, why is that healthy?

It was Steve Ballmer's idea
Do they still sell Zunes? If I walk around near the Microsoft store long enough, will I see some teens squirting?
