it was offshore banking. The US blacklisted a number of countries, and ruined their economies. Now it's "IP". Thank you for bringing freedom to the world.
I would... programs just spit stuff onto it. Very little organisation. Ofcourse, I suppose one could say that my critique isn't the fault of the start menu itself, but it comes that way in its default state.
whatever it was worth... I am from a "3rd world country" a, but a price RAM to increase specs... for Windows?? the fact that this is at least a rumor is a bad side for what was once a purely open initiative - I guess I still wish them luck, but I won't be cheering for them anymore.
How will you deal with the the business aspects that come into play when a company goes public that we geeks fear; things like being bought out by "more evil" companies?
The only IDE on Windows that I prefer to KDevelop is Borland Delphi. BTW, have you tried the official MySQL front end? Also, why are you confusing ease of use with ease of development?
This article assumes that open source developers are aiming at becoming Microsoft like. Maybe they're just in it to make good software: not a profit, not make money for shareholders, or anything that that Microsoft is obviously aiming for. And the article is also using a very narrow definition of "win", one which I'm not sure is possible for OSS to attain.

To quote Morpheus, "how is that different from any other day?"
I have, and still use C#, and I utterly hate it. I prefer C to it. And why should someone be afraid of a good thing if it were good?
I know fear is a powerful stimulant, but the British seem to be willing to do anything to monitor people, what is the motivation?
It always seems like (high up) MS employees rather sell a product to their family. Rather interesting I think.
You don't have to be a hobbyist to use Linux.

Why is this offtopic? There's more to web surfing than IE+Windows
this isn't a general desktop. the software was (re)designed for low specs.

They include open source code in their products.
All that safely implies is that they like free/already implemented stuff, and we already knew that
They support open source vendors.
This is the first I'm hearing of this
They benefit from open source everyday.
This sounds more like hip-hop that the tech. industry
They open source code
This is a consequence, not the intention
They are adopting open source culture.
I think this is stretching things really
They aren't threatened by open source.
This seems more like a pun than anything else, but ok, I'll give them that
They realize open source is their future.
I do not see any evidence for this
ok, so then why did you post in this topic?
I guess it is at least useful to society
While you didn't answer my question, I'll answer yours. I have, infact I still have it installed... I don't care for it much.
