Google accepts like a regular soulless (seeing as they are not human), profit driven organization. But Microsoft seems driven to take the path which leads to the most destruction for others to their own benefit.
No, Microsoft is still out to make a buck by stabbing anything in its way. That's how it started, that's how it grew, and that has been its very successful strategy. Why anyone would think that they would change what has worked very well for them is beyond me.
Wouldn't it be more cost effective for the State of Maine, and similar organizations to put half of the money that they put into Microsoft into building, by way of contractors, a shared, possibly open, solution on a less expensive platform over which they may have more control? This seems especially likely as I doubt that these organizations are actively competing against each other, at least not in a way where sharing an IT solution to be of negative impact to them.
There are only a few features that KDE/Gnome is adding that Windows has had for ages, and that's forgetting that KDE/Gnome are just DEs. There are a multitude of features that those DEs have that Windows does not. But people tend to ignore things that Window does not have.
I've heard conflicting stories about those (real) pirates. Some say they are protecting their waters that were being over fished by foreigners, CNN of course just says that they are after it for the money.
While this story seems to be purely speculation, if it is true, that's kinda disappointing. I would home Nintendo at least tries to be innovative, even if it means failing.
You noticed this too huh. I don't understand how so many slashdotters missed this. Even forgetting that a serious businesses shouldn't have their mail servers on their web servers, receiving email and serving http require bandwidth in opposite directions. Just nice down Postfix|Sendmail and let the boxes at it. I highly doubt that they are really receiving email at a fast enough volume. Worst case scenario, one admin needs to run to micro center, purchase a Terabyte NAS hard drive, plugin it in, remove the spam filters, etc that may be taking a great deal of CPU, and allow all the mail to collect on the ext hdd. That will give them some time to get another machine up to sort through the mail and deliver it properly.
I wouldn't have guesses that you could preemptively sue someone who could sue you. Makes me see Jack Thompson from a different light, maybe he was just having fun with the legal system.
Slashdot Mirror
When do you envision this theory, developers targeting Mono, coming into practice?
To those who forgot, this is the same ISO that fast-tracked OOXML, just adding that to the pool of thought.
Any rebuttals to this?
Is 80 MPH legal anywhere in the USA?
They really shouldn't be running HTTP daemons without SELinux running. Such services are just too popular a target.
If only they could get the darn thing to work.
Does optimism include ignoring past history and evidence?

I meant port whatever apps are developed for the platform they choose. I'm pretty sure the State of Maine needs specific apps, not an entire OS.
It really doesn't even have to be Linux, however, if done well, it would probably get ported to Linux.

Lesser civilized, also known as third-world nations would have taken to the streets for such outright bullshit.
Well there's their Walmart deal, I believe they also got some money out of Microsoft as well.

Thanks for the clarification.
This (above) is the reference example to be used for postings.
Hey, I am not suggesting that you blindly trust the Chinese government to tell the truth.
See, I don't mind being skeptical. What I don't understand is this blind of some countries, and unbridled skepticism of others.
Others places I have seen it posted, few people ever commented on |voted up it. Don't know why people hate on one of the Linux "bread winners".
Shoot 90% of lawyers, put politicians to work on farms, appoint intelligent people who despise power to positions of leadership.
