Unfortunately, Microsoft does run the world...it's a sad fact. Much like OJ denying he didn't do it, it's just as obvious when Microsoft denied not owning a monopoly on the (software) world.
The problem with creating an open source alternative that is not compatible with the millions of existing computers running Corporatation X's infrastructure (read: microsoft) is that Corporation X can't afford to implement it.
Corporation X is not willing to fork over the extra time and money to support any compatiblity with Linux clients/software.
Unless we, as a community, are willing to help them. (which means proving why they should)
i whole heartedly agree... having a union is kinda like having a communists regiem. The elite are held back because everybody has gone union and no one will hire them. So they have to jump through the hoops and hurdles to get ahead as they should, or they quite the union and risk being blacklisted. Then the "slackers", those sub par techies, are raised par level with the eletists.....
hey, if i can't get that 79K/year job, then it's for a few reasons: they offered me something other than money (a pleasent atmosphere, weekends off, no cubicles and no formal wear) or i'm just not that good enough..
i don't need a union to make up for my own failings.
