I work at one of those 20,000 employee companies and we don't even have an XP upgrade path. For documents , spread sheets, solidworks and SAP the bloat of XP/Longhorn will only slow you down.
My Girlfriend is a teacher who helps train other teachers to use PCs (Macs). One day she told someone to "click the mouse here" (pointing to a text box on the screen). The other teacher picked up the one button mouse and touched it to the monitor.
On the other hand, My Mother has been a MandrakeLinux user for years. I have the coolest mom.
PS- No, I don't live in her basement. I have my own house and vette and truck and pets..... so what am i doing here at slashdot?!?...I better go now.
I heard a skit like this on the radio a few days ago. A man calls a telegram service and dictates his message to the typist. The typists job is to repeat each word back to verify what she is typing. He went on to use lots of fowl language and racially motivated actions while the typist repeated everything back. Very Funny the way the typist repeated everything without the same emotion as the prankster.
There once was a man from Nantucket, Who had a dick so long he could suck it. He said with a grin, as he wiped off his chin, If my ear was a cunt, I would fuck it.
You don't re-backup everything every time, do you?
1) You should Archive the older less used stuff and remove it from your system....Or at least keep it in a folder that does not get backed up. Use two USB hard drives. Copy your files to both hard drives and give one to a good friend/relative/Bank box or something. once they are archived (backed up for the last time) stop backing up those files unless they change.
2) New and modified files will be the only thing you backup on a regular basis. You might backup your entire system (not the archive) every week but backup any new and modified files daily.
I've used tinfoil to gain reception on a TV (a very long time ago). Something tells me we've been tricked into wearing the tinfoil to block signals when in-fact the tinfoil aids reception....the ultimate reverse psychology from the propaganda machine. We've been tricked. Do you provide a special resistor/inductor filter to ground in order to attenuate incoming programming? Perhaps the grounded tinfoil shielding reduces your emmissions in order to avoid a tempest attack? I'm confused, what shall we do?
It's all about RE-convincing the world that we are the super power. We need to beat on our chests and wag our tool around to show that ours is bigger. Fear us because we spend huge amounts of money on useless projects. The rich folks own companies that NEED this money from the tax payers, it is nothing more.

Some folks are blind, deaf and mute at the same time?
And since there is no brail porn you don't need to support the "joystick" either.

I don't think it's funny to SHH! a deaf mute.
Just in case anyone needs this:

Change from:
The risk of corporate nogoodery is far greater.
Change to:
The corporate nogoodery is well documented for this convicted monopoly.

I'm confused, what shall we do?
But we always say MS sucks. What is hypocritical about that?

So is it his turn to pay next time?

Along with your ass.

All jokes aside for about on second, I'm sure us linux will be all over this long before MS can handle it.
