I think it's funny that microsoft needs to pay people to say how great their products are.
Well, I think it is interesting that no one seems to do security audits of scripting in Linux. I can think of a million attacks to do with perl, and since it is installed on damn near every linux machine, Linux is not far from Windows in script security problems. We just need to increase our user base to the billions so that we can share more equally in the problems of Windows.
I wish that people would get off the "SUV's are evil" kick.
Let me preface this with: I don't own an SUV.
Most electricity is derived from burning coal.
Coal pollutes, a lot too.
Air planes burn a lot of fuel, even though they are a form of mass transit.
Sometimes they dump their excess fuel before they land.
Try standing under that air plane as it drops hundreds of pounds of fuel over your head.
I'm a tough individual, but my eyes were burning.
I won't get started on the biggest pollution problem. -- The ocean. Instead I recomend that anyone reading this take a class in marine biology. You will learn all you need to, and you won't have to take my word for the problems we face.
c -- around 1970
c++ -- around 1985
even Java is 5 years old.
In computer science sometimes old is good. If however you are the one faced with the choice of using the most modern language as opposed to an archaic language, you would choose the one that best supports your needs.
C# if you need to compile or hope for future compatibility
Java if you want a language that still hasn't "caught on"
Doesn't anyone get tired of this lame crap, that people post? How can we take you seriously if you won't even put your slashdot handle at the front of your post?
It's true that programmers are usually overworked, but at least we get well compensated for it. I think that it would be nice if everyone had a tad bit more empathy for their co-workers.

also note that startup will require more wattage then sustained operation.
STOP WITH THE CRASHING ARGUMENT!!!!! All you bastards running windows 98, UPGRADE!!!!
Awesome!
coward
Actually, isn't "the tied to everything else" thing ... really ... an asset! ? ! ? !
I second that. Why do moderators seem to mod all of these down? Leave us a one so that other's can see it, and possibly respond. ? ? Profit!

What if my ego does require it? Huh? What then? :)
You idiot.
I find it interesting that no one here realizes that Windows NT, 2K, XP, 2K3 is indeed Unix.
Well said.
Actually, there are several solutions available to cope with these issues. Both Linux and Windows support various ways of handling these problems.

C# is new and based on it's predecessors. It stands to reason that it is better for application development.

The computer is probably 7 years old. Not the operating system. This computer probably didn't even ship with windows 95 on it.
Not only is he/she an idiot, he/she is also a coward. (albeit an anonymous one) ... and so are you.
the incest of it all...
What about a beowolf of these? Oh, sorry :)
Soviet Russia -- has been broken up into several other countries for quite a while now.

We want exploitation by companies! The more people that use our software the better off we will be!
True, but if documentation were part of the design process, it would get done more often.
That's awesome!
