  3. due to current trends.. on Linus Torvalds: 'I Still Want the Desktop' · · Score: 1

    I suspect windows will be come illrevent, free, or cloud based very soon. Android has kicked it in the teeth tablet wise, and apple hit them when it was down in the mobile phone market. the chinese makers are coming with linux variants and samsung is biting at their tail on mobile too. this market is going to take care of 99% of the leisure read/game/talk time of people. They no longer need a desktop for that. The only reason to have a desktop is gaming is a big keyboard and mouse. windows can compete with gaming on the xbox, but with stuff like linux steam and support for native gaming in linux their days are numbered. They should go like IBM and become support for legacy windows and then sell it off to some other company to die a quiet death. Then they could start to innovate and be cutting edge doing stuff like Watson or Siri stuff they already have most of the know how.

    "it is not the breaking of a man's doors and the rummaging of his drawers that constitutes the essence of the offense; but it is the invasion oh his indefeasible right of personal security, personal liberty and private property, where that right has never been forfeited by his conviction of some public offense" Quote from Justice Joseph P.

  20. Re:maybe in some cases on Ask Slashdot: Why Won't Companies Upgrade Old Software? · · Score: 1

    the devil is in the details peeps. Big projects take teams, and reams of information to build the proper systems for enterprise tools. I don't think the business people understand what it take to make good software, or how to hire the good programmers. I know I don't that's why i am a SA. I know i am not there at all in the good category as far a programming goes. If the whole enterprise is not behind a project 100% then it will fail or blunder like the ones before. There are far too many moving parts to not play it like a chess game and think 20 moves ahead. Its sad but true.
