Almost a year ago, Microsoft released documents to the EU, which later responded with an epigram similar to, "There is indeed more page volume, but the content is still worthless." As much as I'd like to believe Microsoft is still not contributing to what they were required to do, you can only stretch the English language so far, then the fluff becomes thinner. There may actually be something within those pages this time. Maybe.
If MS releases their office suite for GNU/Linux systems, that means we have won.
However, we have only reigned victorious on one of two levels. We have won in the sense that the product is available for GNU/Linux, but we have lost because the product is not Free.
This must be quoted, I couldn't resist:
Dave Bowman: Hello, HAL do you read me, HAL?
HAL: Affirmative, Dave, I read you.
Dave Bowman: Open the pod bay doors, HAL.
HAL: I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that.
Dave Bowman: What's the problem?
HAL: I think you know what the problem is just as well as I do.
Dave Bowman: What are you talking about, HAL?
HAL: This mission is too important for me to allow you to jeopardize it.
Dave Bowman: I don't know what you're talking about, HAL?
HAL: I know you and Frank were planning to disconnect me, and I'm afraid that's something I cannot allow to happen.
Dave Bowman: Where the hell'd you get that idea, HAL?
HAL: Dave, although you took thorough precautions in the pod against my hearing you, I could see your lips move.
By large, I find del.icio.us bookmarks to be more useful than this Firefox extension. I don't need to install anything, just click the browser button in Firefox telling del.icio.us to grab the current page and bookmark it for me.
But, I do appreciate the fact that Google's protecting our privacy.
GNOME has become increasinly faster with each release. It's not just Mac OS X.
You don't get out much, do you? GNOME 2.14 is supposed to be extremely fast in comparison to previous releases, which were also faster than their predecessors.
That is your opinion. I appreciate the feedback, as it is feedback nevertheless.
I find your signature very ironic to your feedback, however.

Ignored until they feel the need to put their foot in the market. Did you fail to see that portion of the sentence?
Are you simply on the bandwagon with what everybody else is saying about my post? Jeez...
Sure, that is my point exactly. The spelling errors are due in part that I type at 89 wpm.
Excuse me, but I did not know that every person who reads Slashdot is an English instructor.
It is an opinion piece. The concept itself can be viewed as idiotic by anyone, which doesn't really phase me too much. The fact that someone actually read the article before you and thought it was good enough to be included on Slashdot is good enough for me.

Anything to compel the users to purchase a product that bears virtually no usefulness for the time being.
No, more like Outsource-Victims-Exchange.com
1. vista is basically xp with a pretty face
2. linux performs better, more secure
3. xgl/compiz looks nicer.
Probably very hot, considering it had to cut through steel. I hate this stupid April Fool's idiocy. Give me real news!
What is the basis of your homosexual-oriented comment? A little insecure, are we? No. Just kidding. But seriously. Grow up.
Score +1 for DRM, FSF 0. Damn, this sucks. Boycott DRM and HD-DVD! http://writersblocklive.com/boycott/

Agreed, however it is not always the case. My 300mhz G3 is running Tiger more smoothly than my Xeon desktop running XP.
