pure FUD, go spout your FUD somewhere else!!!!!!!!
OUTSOURCING TO SAVE IN THE SHORT TERM WILL RUIN THE ECONOMY IN THE LONG TERM!
If the workers in the USA can't afford the services and products due to lack of disposable income, then companies have to FIRE more workers everywhere to keep from going bankrupt.
YOU talk like some burger flipping wannabe that still has his mommy and daddy paying his bills.
WE do not need to suffer so other countries can improve, it is up to THEM, not US to make their life better.
now that anything useful in linux is becoming BLOATWARE, what tools and applications can we see that can be used by the MAJORITY of the companies in the world. I refer to packages with file formats that others will also be able to use, read, view...
one linux 'guru' suggested that anything that is windows based can be ran with WINE, but the resources for acceptible performance would exceed that of an XP box running OfficeXP...(we won't even mention the list of hardware limitations...)
lets see -no support without the same total cost of the MS solution -bloatware needing more hardware to run -not compatible with the MS suites formats, so customers and contacts are not able to communicate with you -extreme training needed for users -increased cost for support staff -no consistancy for the interfaces -no industry specific solutions, this would mean custom software, meaning huge freaking cost to keep the company productive...
Linux has a nice place as a low cost server, but it is years away from being a product that the majority of industries can use as a desktop solution. So jump off the ignorance bandwagon, wake up from the FUD induced trance, stop listening/reading FUD, and learn a few things about the whole IT world and how companies PLAN for productivity increases without wasted time, increased cost, and the mandated supplier SUPPORT!
...a mom and pop shop may find a use for linux, but medium sized corporations have tons of MS software already created for them, and I have yet to see anything comparible in linux, but then, if it was there it could be downloaded, installed, and the programmers wouldn't see a penny...i wonder why the high-end software suites just are not there in linux, i wonder why....(couldnt be that linux programmers need cash, naaaa, the linux junkies dont need money, they live off FUD...)
poor little/. trolls, they done been fed again....
I would be humbled if even one/. linux noob had a freaking clue WTF they were talking about when bashing MS......but this will never happen since they are all clueless babies that jumped on the "i hate ms" bandwagon without learning a damned thing about the MS OS's!!!!!!!!! (reading the FUD the linux troll commitee points them to, is not LEARNING, it's just brainwashing!)
I have seen most of the post on this so far are whines about the company setting things up so they can make a profit...isnt that what a company is supposed to do???????
To many people think that since they can download linux for free that all things linux should be free or at least CHEAP...remember this mindset you have next time you want to get paid, or get a raise...
(no one works for free, those that claim to are lieing, they are practicing their HOBBY or very charitible, but somehow they need food, clothes, roof over head, maybe a car...)
I just don't understand the whole hype, it is only TV...are there not better things to do in life then drool over how many TV shows you can record at once, watch at once, and PAY through the nose, just to be entranced...I have cable, but dont record anything off it, if it is a sci-fi series I am a fan of, I'll wait for the DVD, and BUY it....this is slashdot though, and who can phathom the terrabytes of pr0n sitting on the slashdot Tivo's...
Fine the companies that the spam zombies are advertising.
Give them no avenue of retreat, they can pay up or have the fine removed from their bank holdings.
The % is a bit missleading to the nooblet linux kiddies, that think the problem is the MS OS, instead of butting the blame where it should be, on the writters of the trojans, viruses and those paying them to write the spam bots. (do we blame the gun, bullet, gun maker, or the person that picked it up and pulled the trigger...)
By their continued ranting and bashing, the linux fanatics give a lot of people reason to believe that linux users are writting these trojans and viruses...after all isn't it better to write that type of code on a box that couldnt be harmed by a virus designed to attack MS OS's...
(and yes I do run linux where it is useful, so flame someone else, I just point at the obvious)
MS looked, said no, due to complexity of a merger that could cause DOJ brow raising...(they have learned this is a bad thing)
MS did nothing wrong, yet the slashdot bashing occurs...seems the bashers CAN learn from MS after all...the bashers can learn to READ THE DETAILS, and not to make up FUD!
...I see/. contributors are faking stories like so many newspapers have been...so much for integrity of the/. news....I guess they will just blame MS for their mistakes...
yayaya, call be a troll, at least I tell and understand the TRUTH...
...and those same people are writting viruses to attack MS products, soooooo draw a few conclusions based on your statement...
- linux users are hackers - linux users write viruses to attack MS os's - linux users are a security risk - linux users should be detained for cybercrimes
see how easy it is to spout FUD against an OS....
do something constructive instead of riding the ms-hater bandwagons...
if it involves MS, the trolls will spout their FUD and worthless opinions...
shame slashdot trolls can't do constructive things, but they are soooooo busy riding ms-hate bandwagons, and feeling superior, they can't see how childish they appear to the rest...
slashdot has turned into a ms bashing troll site...
slashdot USED to be worth reading and discussing IT related matters, now, they can delete my account for all I care.
Little kiddies and ms-hater overlords that prefer to bash instead of being constructive, have ruined slashdot.
For those that have shown some maturity when posting to slashdot, I salute you. The rest are worthless troll posting brats, that I have no desire to tolerate any longer...
go into politics, you evade the issue you created by bashing MS and explain nothing, while attempting to sound superior.
As far as/. not being a serious new site, you are right on the nose there. It is far from a serious news site anymore. Most of the news is reported on other worthy sites, long before anyone on slashdot decides to paste a link to it.
I take it that YOUR time and the time of others is worth $0....
I also can see you place a $0 value on the parts used, the space used, and have declined to pay for the linux license....I hope you do enough free things to cause yourself a long term of unemployment there...
(free, ya right, tell that to a professional coder that isnt being paid for his work, while he is on wellfare)
"If Slashdot or any other organization wants to form a group of people who will take these PCs, reformat them, install Linux, donate them to the world's charities and provide support afterwards, I'm sure Dell and HP would be very happy to hear about it"
slashdot kiddies are too busy bashing MS on threads unrelated to MS to have time for doing anything CONSTRUCTIVE.....

Lets not forget the dangers of dihydrogenmonoxide!!!!
Thousands die each year due to this hidous substance!!!!!!!
BAN THIS STUFF NOW, BEFORE IT GETS TO US ALL!!!!

grow up first, then get your own opinions, not those of some hate group

we had a choice of a complete idiot and a complete moron, both dishonest, both just hand puppets for their parties agendas.....we lose either way...
if ASScroft and Bush are the answer for a secure country, we need to think tea parties again...
less then the errata fixes for the flaws in linux I would bet.....

TV, RADIO, has been doing just what the patent claims is CC's invention, for decades....
Live prodcast are not "live", they are recorded to provide a delay, before distribution...
These recordings are often edited, then sold later to increase revenues...
FUD is what your argument is....
/.-linux noobs, stop the ms bashing, and try doing something constructive for a change...
"Yeah, what's wrong with expecting a little well earned profit?"
whats good for linux is evil for MS....how two-faced is that???
grow up
slashdot at it's usual...bash MS just to bash MS
/. babies grow up and stop this immature bashing?
when will the
go into politics, you evade the issue you created by bashing MS and explain nothing, while attempting to sound superior.
/. not being a serious new site, you are right on the nose there. It is far from a serious news site anymore. Most of the news is reported on other worthy sites, long before anyone on slashdot decides to paste a link to it.
As far as
grow up kiddie, ms is not what this thread is about now, IS IT!
your bashing ms shows some real imaturity
shame slashdot is a haven for childish linux noobs...
0$ cost???
I take it that YOUR time and the time of others is worth $0....
I also can see you place a $0 value on the parts used, the space used, and have declined to pay for the linux license....I hope you do enough free things to cause yourself a long term of unemployment there...
(free, ya right, tell that to a professional coder that isnt being paid for his work, while he is on wellfare)
I would hope a slashdot editor would mod this off the site for being off topic and childish!
bashing MS in a non MS related thread....pithetic...
"If Slashdot or any other organization wants to form a group of people who will take these PCs, reformat them, install Linux, donate them to the world's charities and provide support afterwards, I'm sure Dell and HP would be very happy to hear about it"
slashdot kiddies are too busy bashing MS on threads unrelated to MS to have time for doing anything CONSTRUCTIVE.....
oh boy, another bashing of ms when this thread was not about ms.... ... linux noob kiddies ridding the ms-hater bandwagon...get a clue first
