I agree completely. Not only would have the industry saved billions in virus protection, but it would have also enabled people to have STABLE jobs versus the insecure jobs people had and lost from the.com era (I feel old now).
We would have also had LESS headache from browser compatibility, and graphics development on Macintoshes would have BOOMED.
VMS wouldn't be dead, so perhaps we would all have another decent operating system around.
Compaq would have gone out of business, so we wouldn't have to deal with the crap that they build.
That annoying-ass "Dude, you're getting a Dell" motherfucker wouldn't have had the chance to make me lose my mind.
There would have been fewer cases of little girls and boys getting raped and killed by the crazy fucks on the AOL chat rooms.
AOL wouldn't exist (nuff said).
Need I continue? The world would be better without Microsoft.
I know that what would make me the happiest is if the company would keep the driver in the open source world. Also, if the company would throw a few more man-hours into helping open source projects, that would be nice, too.
I disagree. a HUGE majority of computer systems out there at the moment are unix based. This is not end user machines I'm talking about, I'm talking about corperate webservers, file servers, ftp servers, computing machines, and such, are unix based. I suggest you remove your head from your windows-loving ass before talking any more.
Okay people. Here's my view on this one. I think that it's fine if you want to be all-mighty and make way too much money for your own good.
Though it's okay, it IS WRONG to go out there under the shield of the Free Software Foundation, fraudulently make people believe that you are this loving "organization" that just wants to help people get software.
If RH is going to be a company, then they need to be a company. If they want to do Linux, then they should make their own kernel.
Seeing as how the Linux kernel is under a free license, Red Hat is going to have a hellified battle in court if they ever try the Microsoft route and become 100% propriatory.
I really like what Red Hat has done for Linux, and the community. I support them in full and hope the best for them.
However, if they're going to be a business, then they won't have me as a consumer.
I'm basically just reaching out to Red Hat and asking them not to turn into corperate guys with sticks up their bums. I like the way Red Hat goes about their business right now, I'd like to keep it that way.
Okay, I'm replying wondering one thing in general. that would be what is this original spew? I agree that it's a good idea to make sure you give feedback to all valid, or blatent statements for the most part. but at the same time, let us all remeber that this is to be oriented, or directed toward the original spew.

I certainly agree. That's the most compelling thing I've read all day!
