Linux is essentially one big hyped community, that happens to have some software on the side. These features are probably dreamed up or at least heavily pushed by linux zealots, with an aim of moving everyone in lockstep on the linux/free/open source only, M$ sucks treadmill.
Microsoft never said anything specifically about completely halting new development. Quit playing irrational linux zealot. Besides, any project already in development before they came out with their "more emphasis on security/performance" would hardly even be considered "new".
New York, New York, temperature's droppin'
The band's out shoppin', not stoppin' 'til ears pop
Cops protect shops, lots of yellow cabs and bellhops
And it never stops
I'm waitin' to do an interview, so much to tell you
Today I feel close enough to smell you
Additional dates they were plannin' just fell through
Florida's out
We fly September 22 to Heathrow,
but there's not really long to go
Tonight will be a brilliant show
Lettin' you know I miss you
More than four hits the floor at a party
Send my love to everybody
Please, send my love to everybody
(everybody everybody everybody...)
Send my love to everybody
(everybody everybody everybody...)
Honey, I'm writin' from D.C., feelin' queasy
Stayin' healthy on the road isn't easy
The TM recommends an antigen
One of them could resist again
I miss you like a lock in the door
What's more, I go to sleep with my Walkman
'cause half the crew snored
Don't mean to be a bore, everybody's been great,
But there's fifteen of us in a bus state-to-state
So I stay up late with a tape, or meditate
My bed is travellin' at fifty-five m.p.h.
When we make it to LA, I'll still be miles away
It's not my best day
I'm a get some rest, God bless
We just stopped a diner so I'm takin' time to write a few lines
I'm fine, sunshine, the bus driver's
reclinin' by the grass as the trucks pass
Gleamin' with the flash of sunlight from the glass on the windscreen
As for us, there's too much to relate
We've done five gigs, yet we're only in our third state
America's big, you'd love how they pile up your plate
Only place in the world even I can gain weight
Our next date is Wilmington, Delaware
Open air, there's a rumor Melle Mel'll be there
Anyway, all my love, God bless, I'm yawning
I really miss watching you get dressed in the morning
People who have no real challenge to a competitor usually resort to name calling and mud slinging. It's the nature of humanity. So flame on, linux zealots.
my apologies, i'm too used to slashdot + ummm = egotistical geek.
It's becoming my new pet peeve.

In order for this kind of lifestyle to be possible, many large (and small) companies across a wide variety of industries must adopt and integrate the technology to make this happen. Adoption of new technologies is slow enough by itself. How many of us work in companies where Win98 and NT4 are the default desktop OS's, despite the availability of new, better versions? And this is a technology that's well understood and relatively painless to upgrade. (Yes, I said relatively painless, not without pain.)
Have you ever handled an underfunded IT budget and looked at MS pricing? Try it sometime and get back to me on relatively painless. Then try to explain the hit of the upgrade to the CEO when the current desktop OS is working fine. Finally, look at other options(ie. Linux) and realize it's not quite worth the trouble currently even with the lure of cheap costs(had to add this one, expecting some linux zealot to counter with "USE LINUX". haha welcome to the real world kids)
I think it's funny anytime someone uses the UHHHH or UMMMM to somehow show they are intellectually superiour to the person for whom they are replying. It really just makes you sound like an egotistical ass.

Full automation is inevitable. The problem with t he dot com hype(besides the millions of get-rich-quick with no substance, of which the majority wouldn't work regardless), is a society that needs to be spoon fed in small chunks.
it doesn't matter. eventually it will just become the standard. We are destined to become a lazy fat society dependent on automation for even the simplest tasks. We've made a lot of progress in this area, but frankly not enough. Why am i typing this, it's taking too much energy. It should just read my thoughts damnit.
Luckily for you fat asses, there will probably be medical fixes for all forms of unhealthy obesity
no if you truly wanted to raise the ire of biased mods, you must add in a statement similar to "and hopefully the systems wont run on linux, lest someone get in and reprogram my house's open source utilities."

You cannot leave the dark side. I was forcefully put here by the mod's themselves(knocked from a -1 to -13 in 3 minutes because of an anti-mod comment). They began my life of the troll.

no more scary than the various linux boxen that are rooted.
security through obscurity = modding down anti-linux posts so maybe noone will see them

Junis is a character in a fictional short story Jon Katz posted as being real:

of course..the Jon Katz work ethic:
1) Steal other's work
2) If unable to steal other's work, invent stories(HELLO JUNIS IN AFGHANISTAN!)
I agree with my own post.

No, hot swedish chicks are the pinnacle of swedish arts and literature.
I heard that too..I also heard it's linux-based
