Everyone rips on the AOL CDs 'cause the content sucks ass.
Think of the target, it'll be sys admins who get these cd's, and maybe they'll try it out on an extra pc they have laying around, then love it, and move their whole company over to it, then go enjoy a pudding pop.
Think of all the money the Jello (tm) company can make from this!
Just for giggles, imagine that Microsoft were in the same position it is now. Now let's also imagine that the whole line of Windows OS's were the most secure, easiest to use, and best there was. Would you hate them as much?
My feeling is that MS has finally seen that it's customers/want/ a stable, fast, and secure OS. Why else would *nix be taking off so fast? If they were so good, they wouldn't have to worry about losing market share.
I don't like MS either, but what I dislike is the way they shove thier mediocre OS down our throats. If thier OS was sleek, stable and secure, then that would be a great thing.
Wouldn't it?
I'm a big beleiver in the right tool for the right job. That's why I use a Mac at home, all I do is surf, design web sites and watch TV. Windows is too clumsy for me, and there is no Freehand/Illustrator equivalent on Linux that can output to industry standards. Linux is fun, and I'm learing a/lot/ about how all this works, and what goes on behind the scenes, but it's just too much to deal with for me when I only have a couple of minutes to check my mail and slashdot:) (for now anyway)

It's not better or worse than Heaven, Hell, or anything else out there it's just different, and that's why it's so good :)
It's not better or worse than Linux, *BSD, *NIX, MacOS, Win*, or QNX it's just different, and that's why it's so good :)
It's not better or worse than Red Hat, Slackware, or any other linux distro, it's just different, and that's why it's so good :)
They're not better or worse than .zip, .smi, or ShrinkWrap files it's just different, and that's why it's so good :)
It's not better or worse than 3dfx, ATI or the others it's just different, and that's why it's so good :)

Ya know, what if someone makes an Object Oriented Open Source Operating System?
Damn, I'm impressed by the littlest things...

I was very much like that Next Generation episode where Picard lived the life of that dude thru the probe. I dig those stories
Kinda scary though. How invasive it was.
Anyone remember the Alan Parson's project?
They had two teams, Moon Unit Alpha and Moon Unit Zappa.
They also had a time machine, oh what grand times those were.

That's it.
Well, I guess www.whitehouse.gov might smell similar, with a little cigar smoke added in
MacGuyver!!!
Who can deny the greatness of a man who can build a sports car out of nothing more than:
You know it to be true...
Yup, you can change anything you want, just tell me, and everyone else after you shove it back in. Together, we can build the perfect human!
Just please, for the love of God, scoop out the fat...
