I belive thay you dont know read. The post was about Windows and Linux. I will try again: Who did Clock Update over Internet first?? (Linux or Windows, the OSs of the question)?? The answer is LINUX!
Well,
If you take a close look, you will see many Windows improvements that reminds Linux technologies. Windows Update and Theme support are examples.
I could sit here and list a thousand of other features. Automaticaly clock adjust over Internet. How did if first? You know it was Linux.
The "problem" is that we, developers, became satisfied with a command line tool.
But now time has changed. And if we want to proove the World who powerfull Linux/Unix are, we have to provide an GUI for every program/feature we known in our lovely OS, because the Authors out there dont know to use command-line tools.
Well, now that Unix/Linux users have an easy an effective RAD with C++/Pascal support and with tons of features (Im talking about Kylix of course) M$ is trying to buy it.
Is this not ilegal?
I still remember the news "Netscape X Explorer" and the end of the history too.
And now the fight is Delphi X VB, well it seams the M$ found a different way to solve its problmes.
I have to disagree.
File sharing IS one of the most important thing when you talk about CHANGE.
I work for a Linux company, and I lost the count about how many clients we loose because their sellers or customers would not have a 100% compatible word processor.
Proprietary file format is the key to Microsoft keep it's power in the Office's War. I don't belive, and if I was Gates I woundn't, that one day M$ will make the things easy. If StarOffice 5 was released with full compatible M$ Office file formats imagine how money his company would have lost?
For every guy in the world that make criticals against Microsoft 'cause it's not taking easy with the Others company I say: put your self in Gates place, and think if you would like to lose money.
They could install one of these PCs in a Toilet with some Smart Displays. And then every time you need to do "stuffs" you could do readding slashdot or you favorite on-lin e newspaper for free!
Is it not beautifull?
Ouh!! Cygwin running under wine running under cygwin running under wine running under... I think we can create a game here. It woulb be called: "Finding where are you sitting?"
