Grow up already, losers. Linux is just another also-ran. Open Source != Better. Open Source != Cheaper (TCO, baby). And...Open Source != More Secure.
Get real. Linux is what it is. A fledgling OS at best that has a lot to do before it is ready for the big time. Calling an OS that is 10+ years old "fledgling" is sad, but...
...make a Microsoft flavor of Linux using the GPL and FINALLY as another DIG into the FAGGOTS that make up the Linux and Open Source community?
No Microsoft fan will ever use it, because Linux offers absolutely NO compelling arguments other than "duhhhh, it's free....duhhhh"...so, when you finally offer their "free" OS, that's one LESS reason they have to hawk that teh gay'd OS.
But, it would be fun to see the cocksmokers on/. get in a tizzy over it.
OK, just because you CAN add buggy code to an already buggy codebase, doesn't make that a reason for an Enterprise-level company to use it.
NO Enterprise-level company that wants to stay in business will let "Jason the Tech Guy" mess with operating systems that run their corporation, just because he CAN.
Your next argument "well, we can make it better for the community...", ALL OS's, free or not, continue to add functionality, what makes OSS so different? Thought so, losers.
Come on OS Community. Start your ranting and raving about charging for a free OS. Start bitching about an "evil empire" taking advantage of people (blah blah blah).
If you fucking assholes would stop acting like Zealots, NORMAL people would start listening to you.
But, you retarded Star Trek-loving, pocket protector using, black socks and sandles wearing, Dungeon and Dragons playing asstards drive away 90% of the planet who are in fact, NORMAL.
Get a clue. Linux is a wanna be and it is ALREADY too splintered to ever make a dent in anything.
Hell, if Microsoft invented the automobile, you idiots would be ranting and raving about how beneficial the horse-drawn buggy is.

Microsoft is planning to peel away some of Apple's iTunes success with the launch of its own online music subscription service. According to reports, the software giant said last week that offering a subscription service was an important step in helping people find and discover great music online.
Experts predict the service will allow subscribers to play any track they've bought from iTunes on devices other than the iPod, such as Microsoft's Xbox 360, and that will cut a slice out of Apple's 82 per cent dominance of the digital download business.
Slashdot Mirror
....
Gee...Really?
...for continuing to contribute to the world of technology and helping to make our world a better place.
I guess there is something to be said for companies who want to profit from their hard work. Hmmmm.
You can't accept the truth?

Maybe try Windows?
1. Your deadlines will no longer be met. Not as if they were met before, but now, they will be GROSSLY missed.
2. Your projects will be invested by penguin-loving, pocket-protector-wearing zealots who "do it their way" and that's just the way it is.
3. The gap between ego and talent will widen 10 fold.
4. If the developers aren't kept "fed and happy" they'll likely DOS this shit outta you to "teach you a lesson"
5. Your software won't work everytime the "kernel needs to be downloaded and compiled"
6. PRO: You can schedule 10, 12 or even 14 hour days in your project timeline because these guys don't have lives anyway.
7. The amount of time wasted by your developers will increase 1000% so they can "keep the cause alive" on Slashdot.
8. You will be ridiculed for using a "shitty" browser and should go to "Firefox"...but you won't get a compelling reason to do so.
9. When you ask "What about Windows", you will be labeled a Troll and the geeks on your staff will high-five each other uncontrollably.

FUCK LINUX! MICROSOFT RULES!!!!!!!
...is lost on me.
Linux sucks. WHY would I abandon the sanctity and harmony of Windows for a geekOS such as Linux?
What does Linux offer me other than faggotty freaks who wear pocket protectors?
Nah, thanks. I'll stick with Windows along with the rest of the RELEVANT world.
FUCK OFF!
to buy Windows.
That's right. Buy Windows. FUCK COMPILING GAY KERNELS AND BEING GAY AND TRYING TO "INNOVATE" YOUR GAYNESS INTO A GAY PRODUCT!
Simplify your lives. Come to the sanctity of Windows and Microsoft and you will be at peace with yourselves and your gay friends.
Buy Windows.
Firefox is a bug-ridden pile of crap which is slow and clunky. IE 6 kicks its ass, let alone IE 7.
Get a fucking clue you fucking moronic shitbags. Firefox had their run, just like Mozilla (the IE-killer) did.
What's next???
Go die already.

YOU FUCKING MORONS NEED TO GET A CLUE!
....because all I need is Windows Update to get my O/S to recognize TimeZone changes.
No, I don't have to download and recompile kernels or stupid crap like Linux morons have to do.
GOD BLESS YOU, BILL GATES!!!!!!
GOD BLESS YOU!!!!!!!!
Morons.
Come on OS Community. Start your ranting and raving about charging for a free OS. Start bitching about an "evil empire" taking advantage of people (blah blah blah).
Linux = OS/2
Bahahahahahahha
...Uninstall Firefux and install IE instead.
Open source = more secure???? Riiiiiiiiiiiiight.
MICROSOFT RULES!!!!!!!!!!!

...to blame Micro$oft for thi$...
Let'$ all figure out a way!!!
MICRO$OFT $UCK$!!!!! LINUX RULE$!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why doesn't the Open Source community write a package that will work on Linux rather than complaining that Microsoft won't support thier platform?
...shows its true colors.
I can't say that I am surprised.
Sounds like Linux.
Another uninformed moronic response, typical of a /.er.
Thanks for the insight.
MY Score: 3 (Truthful)
What a dumb analogy.
New score: -1 (Dumb)

ASP.NET was born in 2001 and is far more popular and widespread than PHP ever was.
What's next, celebrating the anniversary of Betamax?
If this message had "IE" in the subject rather than "Firefox", people wouldn't be finding every reason in the book to excuse this glaring oversight.
It is similar to how the Dems and GOPs snipe at each other over every little thing each party does.
Come on, people, be objective already. Silliness such as this ruins the "credibility" of the OS community.
NO SOUP FOR YOU! ONE YEAR!
That's a typical response. How is this relevant to the fact that the Open Source community of developers missed a bug that is SEVEN years old?
