You are exaggerating a bit. Listed Dell products are big LCD monitors, projector, colour laser printer and PDA. Dell PCs (cheap, made for masses) suck but all these are fine pieces (don't know about the PDA, haven't seen it).
MS is represented by WMP (haven't seen that one either, don't run windows). They haven't made much stuff this year, though.
Which is a good thing.
There is one MS product that I really like and can't use any other anymore - their optical usb wheel mouse.
I'm guessing that wouldn't be an option (live CD I mean) - he mentions MS Office and roaming profiles, which implies Windows, for which live CDs are not available.
How exactly can this be moded 'interesting'? Poster admits he doesn't know Linux, saw single implementation in 15 years and yet argues how NT solution is obviously supperior, because he had NT server with good uptime? What the fuck? Troll, perhaps but not very interesting at all.
I'll tell you what the communism is. It's just the fucking excuse made up by tyrants so they can keep screwing-over dumb masses. It is an impossible society that sounds pretty cool to morons who can use their brains only to process and accept propaganda.
Trust me, I lived most of my life in one of those fucked-up countries.
Over last few months I have yumed or manually installed insane amount of apps on FC4. Guess what - if app is GUI based, shortcut is placed in both (KDE and Gnome) menus in 99.9999999999% of the cases. Which is beside the point - every bloody application that has large user base in a Windows world would have at least one and often two more than capable alternatives for the LInux desktop. 100% of them install flawlessly and 100% of them have easy to find shortcuts.
J. Terpstra has identified the problem properly - it's not apps that stop addoption, it's corrupted hardware manufacturers and retailers.
Perhaps the fact that this article was on a school's news site has something to do with depth (or a lack of it) of information / discussion provided. Video feed is due tomorrow though - should be interesting to check.
Personally, I don't think there would be much substance in college dropout's talk on software engineering. His career is the ultimate proof - all software MS ever created was largely driven with a single thing in mind - how to lock in the world and make everybody else's software obsolete.
Now, if he decided to speak about how to become extremely successful in business that would be another story.
We are upgrading servers to RHEL4 and heavily contemplating move from Exchange to something else. This stuff looks pretty exciting for 3 main reasons:
1. They built EL4 rpm, which gives me hope that it's been tested well on this platform 2. Zimbra provides an easy way to import Exchange accounts straigth from the server, without having to handle hundreds of pst files 3. This is the last piece of software that prevents us from getting rid of windows on the desktop.
This is good stuff. My sysadmin life looks so much better already.

Do you mean ...at China here in Taiwan or ...at God here in China?
Bullshit. You mean version 7 that's in beta (developers only).?
And here I was, going through TFA to find a paragraph about IE getting tabs...
Pretty much the best that year.

This is you!
Just installed Fedora 5 test 1 - comes with gcc4 (0.2) - I bet 4.1 will be in at least preview and included with FC5 final release.
It's Gary Glitter, man. Not just a pedofile - dinosaur pedofile.

I can't tell whether you're saying this out of your belief or you're trying (very poorly) to troll. Whatever the case, I've got 2 words for you:
1] FUCK
2] YOU!
It's computer game. There's a wiki entry but I'm too lazy to post a link.
You would have been much better off with Fedora. Red Hat is behind it and it's very affordable. Works beautifully, too.
Yeah but they were ITIL/MOF/whatever compliant.

He obviously does not.
Weird. It's working for me.
Not open source, they have no problem taking from it. GPL is cancer for Microsoft.
What's your point - karma? The article is exact cut and paste of that press release.
Your take on it is not technically correct - just the package name uninstalls it.

In other words, they migrated their cash systems to crash systems, right?
