"And who says short term profit is what Yahoo!'s shareholders want?"
Well, money (shareholders) always prefer instant gratification, seldom does it care about the company and its long term health, it can always move to the next company.
That maybe, but we don't hear people calling CBS or NY Times are advertising company.
What I see is Google seem to be making lots of software, and selling that software to me online by allowing me to use it for free in exchange of viewing ads, same as most TV channels allow me to see their shows.
>>One of the reasons Google doesn't talk up any direct competition with Microsoft is because they're not direct competitors
Then can we say that ad-supported TV channels and paid cable TV channels are no competitors?
With the release of Redhat 5 back in spring, someone at Redhat mentioned that they were working on KVM, does anyone know if Redhat is planning to drop Xen in favor of KVM with next release?
Well, yes but not this way. It would have been far more effective name recognition campaign if RedHat itself provided the RHEL for free, and not someone else with no credit to RedHat as it requests.
I'm living in Hong Kong, I have noticed lately that (and i got one myself) unlocked IPhones are all over the place here, it is open to use with any local carrier you wish.
I hate the fact that OpenOffice Impress drawings of curves and circles looks ugly. I just checked the latest release of 2.3 today, it still draws ugly. Microsoft fixed this problem with its Office 97, which was 10 years ago..
My prediction is that cars will TOTALY fail within a year or two and the horse+carridge will make a glorious return!
man, thats why horse+carridges was replaced in the 1st place, many different breeds of donkeys, horses, mules, oxes.. they all behaved differently, some kicks, some bites.. god-bless-if-alive, your great grandpa might tell you more of those days..
how can businesses buying ice cream for their employees ever narrow it to just a few flavors that their employees will likely approve of? The choice is just too difficult.
Right.., my company just spent a zillion dollar trying to train its staff how to eat the ice creams it served during its annual staff dinner.

"So the actual value of Yahoo! for Microsoft isn't all that great"
If genuine, Microsoft most probably is after Yahoo's user base, not its software nor its engineers.

a lot of chairs are on his way.
Come on now. Don't you think that "Freedom of speech" is NOT good when it hurts other people?
Then go swear at first person you meet on the street and see what happens.
Also, change the name for god sake, it's harder to pronounce post-gre-sql than write sql statements on it.
>> Wanting to hurt redhat
I wander if licensing allows MySQL to be forked, if so, RedHat may as well just fork MySQL.
I think utility computing is good, virtualization is flexible and nice.
But in the end, all this may result in increased server/hardware prices.
Think about it, mass production of low end servers what reduced the cost of server hardware.
If everyone used utility computing, that might mean less hardware needed and produced which makes it cost more to produce.
Kill, then apologize.
I wander if Corel can sue Microsoft for this?
where! where!!? :)

People misunderstood him, the BigBill always was for sharing, except that he always liked to be on the receiving end.
Real slow phones.

Could there could be some lawyers on Slashdot, who don't mind giving some free insight?
well, they dont have to, if they provide the RHEL for free.

its interesting that nobody is talking about vista's winfs that was excluded..

Well said, u spoke like you'd been in my shoes.

Crash and any publicity is good for linux, nobody would have mentioned about it if that car had finished 15th without any incident.
