It has to kill the other so there can be more of a monopoly on information and the access to that information. At least, that's the conspiracy.
To me the whole idea of a hardware-less platform is purley contradictory - how on earth do you access live.com without some sort of handheld/cellphone/laptop/whatever device? Does live.com literally appear out of thin air as if we were living in a perpetual holodeck?
Always available? HA! That's bunk, and they know it. It's just marketing hype.
The manager who fired him should go work for Burger King. He'd be perfect for the job.
FYI, just because a person is working at Burger King doesn't mean they aren't educated...
Really? I don't own a MAC so I didn't know that.
That's pretty shoddy. At least Windows lets you d/load patches for free. (God, just feel the rage if you had to pay for Windows patches... *low whistle*)
I just can't follow this line of reasoning. What are the majority of computer users using, PC's with Windows or MAC's with OS? What platform are most of the viruses/spyware/adware written for? PC's with Windows running on them or MAC's with OSX on them?
I enjoy the elegance and performance of MAC's, but don't try to sell me on how much more secure they are than Windows. MAC's may be more secure out of the box than Windows, but that's just out of the box. Come tell me that this still holds true after MAC's have become the most owned and used computer in the market and have had to withstand blast after blast after blast from the cracking community.
Weel, one thing's for certain. The Canadian health care system rocks, with the exception of upwards of 2-5 year waits on surgical procedures that would take less than a week to have performed down here in the good ole' US of A. Canadian "freedom" certainly does have a lot of steep read-between-the-lines costs...
Why do movies have to take 3 GB + of space? Is there anything in the works to make the actual content smaller in size, but just as high quality? Instead of devoting so much time to making the content-holders more expansive, why not find a way to shrink the content without suffering any loss in quality?

I truly hope you're being sarcastic... MS = "ID"?
