News about Microsoft products based exploits will pretty soon cause the users of these products to become "immune" to this information. It can be compared to watching bad news on your local news channel. Everyday someone is killed, robbed, raped; and they feed you this information to the point where you can become somewhat "immune" to this terrible news. Eventually the next time you watch the news you're like "well, what's new? next!".
Car bombed killed 20, American beheaded, IE BHO exploit, blah, blah, blah...."what's new? NEXT!" The more you hear about it, sad to say, the less important it can become.
I've been doing the same for my family members, but with an extra touch. Same type of software (plus the latest stinger) but create an autorun menu driven cd. Something like AMenu for CDs works just fine for me. Or you can search google for some nice cd autorun apps.
"User support such as training (OpenOffice UI, although similar in many ways to Office, is not the same and users may require "retraining")"
if a user requires "retraining" when migrating from winword to oowriter i strongly believe that he/she/it should be fired. or worst, outsource his/her/its position.
note: i am aware that oowriter is not the sole OO component, so please dont reply with your silly comments. i just used it to get a small point across.
i threw away my mouse when they suggested no clicking on URLs. now they fsck it and i have now mouse, what am i gonna do? hmmm, i should post this as an "ask slashdot".
i don't see what all the big fuss is about. this looks like common practice to me. you're competitor tries to gain ground, you then set out to destroy them. some may call it "corporate america", others may call it "the way we do business". either way no one should be surprised. **shrug**
hmm i smell a rat. sun is probably hoping to gain ground into some of those "disappointed" red hat boxes. does redhat9==solaris9? maybe some stupid end-users will get it confuse **shrug**
i said it once and i will say again, McNealy is the biggest two-faced hyprocite there is. one day i love you the next i throw you.
A=linux
B=vmware
C=windows
D="MS APPS"
E=implementation (you have to make it work)
A + B + E + D = 30 million
C(with huge discount) + D = 27 million
A + B + E > C(with huge discount)
A + B + E < C(without huge discount)
what part of TCO didn't you understand? discount in value vs. stability
discount in value vs. scalability
discount in value vs. freedom
which one would you choose?
i don't see the big deal here. if daddy gates decided to say that linux is a serious competitor, then the rest of the idiots (media, corp. world, bush) will say the same and will want to take a closer look. its a great strategy. if daddy gates decided to say that linux is nothing but a mear mortal pizza shit OS, then the rest of the idiots will say windows is the best OS out there. But is it really an OS? may be an SOS after you get DoSed fort not taking port 445 seriously will answer your question.

" Linux was like the dancing dog -- it's not about how well it does, it's that it does it at all."
that is very disrespectful. how about a dancing penguin?
Over the year Microsoft has learnt more and more to embrace Microsoft.

is the grade i would have received for turning in such irresponsible, unfounded material in daycare. emotions and feelings are just that.

McNealy is a true hypocrite and an ass. fuck him!
what will happen to google.com/linux ? will it redirec to windowsupdate.microsoft.com?
so let me get this straight
A=linux
B=vmware
C=windows
D="MS APPS"
E=implementation (you have to make it work)
A + B + E + D = 30 million
C(with huge discount) + D = 27 million
A + B + E > C(with huge discount)
A + B + E < C(without huge discount)
what part of TCO didn't you understand?

i would like to see them recover burnt documents. put all of the ashes together and give me the original. then you can impress me.
can someone please confirm if DirectTV and the RIAA share a common ancestor. maybe there is fossil record some where.
speudo code:
10 DirectTV="GreedMutationGene"
20 RIAA="GreedMutationGene"
30 while DirectTV=RIAA
40 print "you greedy sons of bastards"
50 wend
60 end
damn it, i just realized that this is and endless loop.
i think i'm gonna buy me one next week. does it come with XP also?

00. if you spit in the sky it will fall in your eye
01. a monkey never sees his own tail
11. never throw stones if you have glass windows
you said other stuff also, but i never paid attention
you just can't believe anything those people say. first they say that have an operating system, now this whole iloo bizness.
you should never recycle a computer. just put Linux on it. that's what is meant when they say "recycle computer".
"recylcle computer"=="install Linux on it"
