my god, just when you think microsoft had stooped to its lowest level, they yet again amaze us!
this is obviously just an MS FUD ploy; or else it's a left-over April Fool's Day joke.
figures MS cowardly presents this on its own propoganda channel; too bad the NBC name & reputation has been brought into this.
Just like when Microsoft tried to place FUD in the minds of corporate America with saying that Novell would end support for its NOS's (which Novell emphatically won a recindation from MS on that untruthful propoganda), MS attempts to unduly FUD us again.
All I know is that I will never pay a dime again for another peice of MS OS/hardware/service; especially after these low-blows.
MS really is just a pathetic organization. Infinately more slimy than even Rambus has been.
Let's start a true Microsoft boycott here at our homes and workplace! Show Microsoft we're not taking it's b#llsh#t propoganda any more.
MS stands for innovation alright, with all the FUD and propoganda that it conjures (innovates) up to never cease to amaze people and lower itself to depths of infinity!
I agree...you were reading my mind, dwheeler! Please have OpenOffice included on the new version of Red Hat! I *almost* went back to Mandrake Linux because it had the OpenOffice included, along with a nice scanner setup tool; and furthermore, it has all the rpms needed to view DVDs with xine.
Red Hat: this is my wish list for the new distribution--
- OpenOffice
- scanner setup tool
- dvd player
All that stuff working out of the box would be very sweet! But at least, please, include OpenOffice. It's a b#tch to download it, from their site.
OK, Microsoft obviously is saying this because they can't control it. Anything that Microsoft doesn't have its control-freak-claws into is obsolete, right? Heck they tried to convince everyone that MP3's are obsolete, and it seems to me it took away very little (if any) of its use.
Just because Microsoft says something doesn't mean that it is what they say it is. I *YAWN* when I read microsoft says this or that about whatever; they don't know any better and aren't changing my development patterns.
AMEN to that! I'm faced with a similar dilemma; I'm at a job with M$-Windows prevailing over most everything (except a single novell server and some weird system36 and digital VAX boxes); my interests now lie front and center with Linux and open source stuff.
I have this (rogue) linux box here that I'm typing on to use when I can get away from that Windows crap. I'm beefing up my skills and probably will leave with the right job opportunity.
