The thrust comes from those that can benefit from a longer delay. Start with those firms creating the topic related content and go from there to firms such as Sprint and Clearwire. You can thank the lobby industry for the dust-up in any case.

Microsoft is everything/. and/. is everything microsoft! What a wonderful thing, being able to come to one place and read all about wonderful microsoft...just wonderful!
...this is/. - where is the Microsoft tie-in? How can this site uphold the mandate to keep Microsoft in front of the public without every story having some sort of Microsoft tie-in?
Don't think people aren't noticing the shilling that is going on...
Another day....another 30% content devoted to Microsoft. What a way to go down in history.
MS couldn't come up with anything nearly as sophisticated as the iPhone... And their 'Surface' table - funny that it doesn't have anything to do with touch.
MS abuses from the point of a bully, far from anything groundbreaking and you throw Apple into the same bag - hilarious, simply hilarious.
Wow...look how much money we can make off of this 'transition'!!! And the longer it takes to accomplish, the more we can make!! Lobby for a delay!! Now!! Screw the public!!!!!!
If the topic is MS....this must be/. What a shill-a-thon this site has become.
You guys can't get through one posting session without trumpeting MS in some way or another?
Why not report on Balmer toilet flushing frequency or how many times MS bullied hologram pirates in Southeast Asia...at least make it interesting since you intend to make it so blatant.
30% of the postings on any given page are given over to MS. That goes beyond happenstance and statistical probability, right into an obvious bent for the evil empire.

>...will be his legacy and for individuals like him, it is a far worse punishment.
Madoff is a sociopath. His basic mental profile is what allowed him to do what he did - his comfort comes from within, not from labels society hangs around his neck.

On certain types of refutation...perhaps.
Nixon had his Deepthroat - we can only trust that G.W.'s is just around the corner.

Yes, sure, but... What makes you think anyone in the Bush administration is going to be held any more accountable than Bernie Madoff, who is walking around when he should be in jail?
>"If India was cut off, that would be a major problem for all the companies that have outsourced call centre and tech jobs to them, and for their customers."
You talk about that like it's a bad thing...last time I checked, having call centers in India is a pisser for everyone but the ones collecting a 'veddy!veddy!gut' paycheck as part of the joke, er, sorry, I mean, process.
Dr. Praline: 'Ello, I wish to register a complaint.
(The Intern does not respond.)
Dr. Praline: 'Ello, Miss?
Intern: What do you mean "miss"?
Dr. Praline: I'm sorry, I have a cold. I wish to make a complaint!
Intern: We're closin' for lunch.
Dr. Praline: Never mind that, my lad. I wish to complain about this enzyme what I purchased not half an hour ago from this very facility.
Intern: Oh yes, the, uh, the Norwegian Blue... What's,uh... What's wrong with it?
Dr. Praline: I'll tell you what's wrong with it, my lad. 'E's dead, that's what's wrong with it!
Intern: No, no, 'e's uh,...he's resting.
Dr. Praline: Look, matey, I know a dead enzyme when I see one, and I'm looking at one right now.
Intern: No no he's not dead, he's, he's restin'! Remarkable compounds, the Norwegian Blue, idn'it, ay? Beautiful refraction!
Dr. Praline: The compounds don't enter into it. It's stone dead.
Intern: Nononono, no, no! 'E's resting!
Dr. Praline: All right then, if he's restin', I'll wake him up! (shouting at the cage) 'Ello, Mister Polly enzyme! I've got a lovely fresh cuttle fish for you if you show...
(Intern hits the cage)
Intern: There, he moved!
Dr. Praline: No, he didn't, that was you hitting the cage!
Intern: I never!!
Dr. Praline: Yes, you did!
Intern: I never, never did anything...
Dr. Praline: (yelling and hitting the cage repeatedly) 'ELLO POLLY!!!!! Testing! Testing! Testing! Testing! This is your nine o'clock alarm call!
(Takes enzyme out of the cage and thumps its head on the counter. Throws it up in the air and watches it plummet to the floor.)
Dr. Praline: Now that's what I call a dead enzyme.
Intern: No, no.....No, 'e's stunned!
Dr. Praline: STUNNED?!?
Intern: Yeah! You stunned him, just as he was wakin' up! Norwegian Blues stun easily, major.
Dr. Praline: Um...now look...now look, mate, I've definitely 'ad enough of this. That enzyme is definitely deceased, and when I purchased it not 'alf an hour ago, you assured me that its total lack of movement was due to it bein' tired and shagged out following a prolonged study.
Intern: Well, he's...he's, ah...probably pining for the fjords.
Dr. Praline: PININ' for the FJORDS?!?!?!? What kind of talk is that?, look, why did he fall flat on his back the moment I got 'im home?
Intern: The Norwegian Blue prefers keepin' on it's back! Remarkable creature, id'nit, squire? Lovely compounds!
Dr. Praline: Look, I took the liberty of examining that enzyme when I got it home, and I discovered the only reason that it had been sitting on its slide in the first place was that it had been NAILED there.

Oh, that's right... Somewhere a High School report writing lab is still open and those two individuals have mod points.

This 'review' is pure drivel. There is nothing sacred about a simple 'Hello World' application.
Review book...fill out obligatory 500 words or less report form...get homework credit. Pap.
