On: Linux and OpenOffice save Microsoft Presentation

Please, something to consider:

case A.
Lets assume a windows presentation goes wack, and the day will be saved by linux.
Reaction: OSS / Linux rul3z and MS / Windows sucks!

case B.
Lets assume a linux presentation goes wack, and the day will be saved by windows.
Reaction: *none*

Reactions.
Why do we find B weirder?
Because we find it more normal than A.

My reflection on this.
I've see more not-working linux machines
than i see not-working windows machines.

Mind that I do _not_ mean a crash, i mean
"a machine wich for some reason won't function as it is supposed to do."

Already Firefox tends to be around 45% of traffic across my sites, so this is going to affect a lot of users.

2) visiting your site [found it]
3) why am i visiting? its no use. [got it]

Re:It's time to end our dependence on google

On: Google DNS Glitch Caused Outage

True, Google ~ search monopoly.
But dont compare it with Microsoft's monopoly to much;

Its hard to seperate from Windows or Office because of the compatibility issues.
Not using Google is easyer than not using Microsoft.

(i'm assuming a democratic future)

Everything with a beginning has an ending.
Also Google, Earth, Bananas, Microsoft, and Democratics

So, what will come after democratics?
There will be a new system.
I think it's google's.

I also think i'm paranoid.
