Yes, I do admire this man. Although I am a hater of MS products, this man is not Satan.:) He's not out there to make friends, he's out there to make MONEY. COLD, HARD CURRENCY! Come on people, can a saint make it out there?
The guy takes a rational approach to the problem. If it's not statiscally important, scratch it out. If more companies took a rational approach to things, more of them would be profitable. He doesn't even try to hide it! He's honest, I'll give him that (even if he did kill OS/2 disonestly). People that made him rich should be shocked. I haven't and I'm not.
For most people, rebooting the PC every 2 hours is not an issue. I like source-code and I like the open-source energy. But I'm also realistic and I know that most people don't give a damn.
I told some Linux zealots about this before, but no one seems to care... what about FONTS?! Why is text on Linux so ugly? Forget AAsing, the fonts are just plain UGLY. Why? Is it so hard to draw new ones and include them? I feel forced to use M$'s Tahoma on my KDE3 desktop and it finally looks great. Why? WHY?:)
It has often been said that satellite security is swiss-like (as in cheese)... Hope some people wise up after this. Reminds me of a piece of news on a portuguese newspaper some time ago about free wireless network access in most of Lisbon's downtown area - I mean, what are these new age non-bearded, non-glass-wearing, non-hacker-humour-appreciative ops thinking?

DAMN! What a lame reply! Don't you have anything better to say? Shut UP then. Geez...
