Being australian I am extremely fond of beer but and don above was quite right that monty python joke was done as them playing australians and goes" american beer is like making love in a canoe they're both fucking close to water." this joke was done after they said we have brung some australian beer along. and by the looks of the green cans I say it would be VB which is a low beer not as low as XXXX or fosters all of which is above budweiser which I do say is close to water. German and Belguim beers are great aswell as good old guiness the beer thats a meal. But yes you will find many a good australian beer espicially at the national beer festival in brisbane next weekend over150 australian beers on tap.
You asked me for a reply asking my stake in Microsoft and the answer is I have none. True I do own my student version of windows XP and it is the operating system I have runing most of the time on my computer. The main reason I'm anti linux is because it is comunity based and when I first met members of this community they were extremely hypocritical and very much unhelpful with to much bickering between themselves over distros to even be much of a help and all they could do is go this "sux" thats "fuxor" which really turned me off the whole idea. (I know this isn't the common group but it is the loudest group) Since then I have had no idea how well linux has developed but I found windows was much more a point click look there that paper clip to annoy me with too much help system which worked really well for people who did not have much experience with computers.
I mean seriously you guys who are going "oh no this is a ploy to keep linux out of more places" the company doesn't have to choose to use microsoft products. The only way you should worry is your doubt that windows and other MS software products are superior to the other ones. MS are a large organisation this one billion dollar increase in charity isn't going to hurt there profits much and you will find most big organisations do this kind of thing it's called giving back to the comunity. All I have left to say is that if the other OS's are better for the organisations then I will use them all this microsoft is trying to destroy linux again is your paranoia that MS products might be better for them. (notice them as MS is easy to use alot of non-profit organisation's use volunteers not all of them have the time to learn how to do everything they want the big button that does things aproach)
