Trust me, I'm not a Microsoft hater(or an Apple hater for that matter!). I personally have a PowerBookG4, MacMini, a few XP Desktops and a W2K3 server at home. But I can't believe that this guy is one of the public faces of Microsoft while he almost single-handedly is running the company into the ground. I don't remember where I read it know, but the author of the statement was right, "Ballmer wouldn't even have made it into management had he not started the company himself!"
TI-99/4A with the tape drive (who needs stinkin' cartridges!)
Commodore 64 with dual 1594 floppy drives(I think they were 1594's)
Sperry HT with dual 360k floppy drives (originally monochrome, upgraded to cga!)
and the list goes on and on...
You're right. It would be nice if there was a kinder, gentler way to do it, but at some point, people have to accept responsibility. With the purchase of a computer and a broadband connection that's always on, you have to stay on top of things like virus software and security patches.
Being the network administrator for a school district, we got hit hard and are still getting hit by computers on the local cable companies subnets (Cablevision's OptimumOnline). Luckily, they've been working with us. We supply the IP of the offending machine and they make contact for us. Believe it or not, but most of the machines in question have been from district employees! We've been logging offending IP's and if we call again on a repeat offender, CV (like other cable companies) is turning off their modems, until the customer calls and reports that they've corrected their problem.

why the hostile sig?
WoW! I probably mistyped, but he's sold off over $700 million!
Pretty sure that was an AT. I just don't remember the reset/turbo buttons on the front of them...
Perhaps you should read before you type. The article said they had little room on the shelves for developing/independent artists...
