Why does the article have to mention Microsoft's claims "that Linux violates its software patent" (yes, singular patent). I assume the next article this site will say: Microsoft made some sales despite Linux fan's claims that Vita is really bad.
In Cringely's article he explains how Google is going to win big time with this. Sorry, but I don't see a giant advantage to having data centers all over the world... just to make Ajax apps faster.
Of course, MSFT is evil|sneaky for not disclosing the possible offending patents. But I suspect some of the places where Linux interfaces with DOS|Windows might be patented. Eg Samba, filesystems that read/write FAT32 or NTFS, ReactOS, etc. In these (interface) cases they *might* have a winning case. Just sayin'. Mod me down if you wish.
Facebook is nicely done. They keep everything lowkey. No blinking, no spam, etc. They appear to respect user's privacy. Its what users who aren't children want. That is one of the reasons it got so many users. Well, that and the network effect. But niceness certianly helps. Of course, Microsoft knows nothing about making an application low key and pleasant to use.
Its cool that it will search online for codecs but they should avoid that word. Its only understood by nerd (like us). They should just say: download the files necessary to play this movie?
I like that other labs just throw out this as contamination. This guy looks into it and has a break thru. That's good science. Like Enstien explaining why those pesky Newtonian equations don't always work.

Now they are share holder that have some control. That's what they are after.

Yes, this is Vista.
What a pig.
Vista, by default downloads updates, installs them AND reboots!
This happened to me.

Luckily there are no privacy issues in showing where individual cell phones are!

Did anyone else notice the poster of Monty Python and the Holy Grail behind him?
I, for one, welcome our new giant hole overlords.
Does the reboot occur at, say, 2AM local time? If so then reboots would be spread out by the (at least) 24 timezones.
Or the scientists where looking for double-helixes. Found them and said: look life.
I live in a big city and only get free over the air TV. Its enough for me. I like it.

I wonder if MSN also spies on users. Do they have keywords in place to log messages related to possibly competing products, etc?
That would be good stuff to have but the typical office worker doesn't need all that.
Things like maintenance are more important in an office.
How do they know its an dangling pointer?
