shared by all who know of a classic MS 'we are sorry'. I thought of this comic when i read "Bill Gates is proud of the achievements Microsoft has made in increasing the security of Windows. As for the effects on people being attacked by SoBig.F, etc? Gates says this is "something we feel very bad about"."
it was interesting at some point...

Once upon a time the government had a vast scrap yard in the
middle of a desert. Congress said someone may steal from it at
night; so they created a night watchman, GS-4 position and
hired a person for the job.
Then Congress said, How does the watchman do his job without
instruction?" So they created a planning position and hired two
(2) people, one person to write the instructions, GS-12 and one
person to do time studies, GS-11. Then Congress said, "How will
we know the night watchman is doing the tasks correctly?"
So they created a Q. C. position and hired two (2) people, one
GS-9 to do the studies and one GS-11 to write the reports. Then
Congress said, "How are these people going to get paid?" so
they created the following positions, a time keeper, GS-09, and
a payroll officer, GS-11, and hired two (2) people.
Then Congress said, "Who will be accountable for all of these
people?" So they created an administrative position and hired
three (3) people, an Admin. Officer GM-13, Assistant Admin.
Officer GS-12, and a Legal Secretary GS-08.
Then Congress said, "We have had this command in operation for
one year and we are $18,000 over budget, we must cutback
overall cost,"
So they laid off the night watchman.
One reason i can see for running MS Office under linux might be that MS Office has just become a standard for employment. my mother spent a few $$ on learning MS Office at the local colledge and emmidiatly was hired partly because she could utalize Word and Excel to a greater extent. Although i do agree that most office apps are similar, some people cant see past that and dont exactly 'adapt' (like my mom). and because employers (might) want a superior OS (Linux), they must be able to supply some MS software in order for their employees to cope.
is this about that 80 lines in the source thing?
if so, wouldn't it be just possible to go in an re-write thoughs 80 lines? you know, say the same thing in a different way? ie: Hello = Hi
I think it's sexy and new!
Personally, i like the antenna, heck, i like it all!
Add a few case lights and it would be the hit of any lan party.
oh, and immagin : Dual-Monitors! >:)
