"Puckette says it takes some extra time to get an open source infrastructure configured the right way. "The challenge as opposed to buying solutions from one vendor is that when you buy from Microsoft, you can assume it works with other Microsoft products. With open source you have to take more time to make sure all the products interact and all the pieces fit together. But the cost benefits clearly outweigh going with all Microsoft."
I don't see how OSS can take over Microsoft or Microsoft take over OSS.
I care about it because zealot like you will bash anything related to Microsoft without either 1. read the article or 2. bashing because it's Microsoft on the headline and the only fucking excuse that you have seem to be Microsoft's "monopoly".
1. You can buy PC with Linux or Windows and you can't buy Mac without Mac OS X.
2. You can buy bare bone PC before the Microsoft "monopoly" lawsuit.
3. You can build PC without Windows before the Microsoft "monopoly" lawsuit.
WalMart was selling Microtel PC with Linux before Dell. Even Dell was selling FreeBSD PC before Ubuntun.
you turn a blind eye when Apple is doing it with "monopoly" execsue is getting old.
it seem to be the only excuse for bashing MS without any metric. from the article and many other slashdotter have pointed it out. Windows live service is not bundle but it seem like you can't wrap that around your little mind and you are also ok with Apple bundling.Mac because Apple is not "monopoly". Double Standard, much?
except for the fact that MS isn't bundling Windows live down on you like.Mac as many on slashdot already point out that Windows live is essential like Google pack where you as user download and install it. the old "monopoly" b.s. is getting old.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.mac.Mac is closely integrated with the Mac OS, and having.Mac can extend the functions of many programs, most notably within the iLife suite. Among the most notable:
* iDisks can be mounted as any other volume on the Mac OS desktop. Furthermore, it is possible to mount the public portion of another user's iDisk. This mechanism was one of the early ways to receive free software as part of.Mac. It is possible to queue files for upload to an iDisk that is offline, though actual uploading will be done only when the iDisk is mounted.
* Address Book entries, iCal dates, Safari bookmarks and, as of Mac OS X 10.4, keychains, mail accounts, mail rules, mail signatures, and smart mailboxes can be synched with the iDisk through iSync (prior to 10.4) or.Mac syncing (in 10.4), allowing easy synchronization between multiple computers.
* iWeb allows users to create web pages that can be uploaded to iDisk and published.
* Similarly, the iMovie, iPhoto, GarageBand, and iTunes libraries can easily be uploaded to iDisk (subject to various licensing agreements).
* Backup can be used to make backups to iDisk or local media.
we no longer need huge land to create massive food. the advance technology can do wonder with a little patch of land. it's not sad. we can now produce more with little patch of land than before.
I still run Win2000 Pro. on my machine. I'm not buying the Vista "upgrade". let's see Win2000 was release on Feb. 17 2000 and the current date is Aug. 27 2007. it's about $200 for the retail price and if i were to lease Win2000 as SaaS. let's say Win2000 as SaaS cost $50 per month. that will be $4200 for 7 years and i still don't own it. If the company went kaboomed! All my data are gone. Wow! that is one great advnagte.
I can use Win2000 until I "want" to upgrade. that will be about another 5+ years. WoW! SaaS sure is cheaper comparing to owning the software and why do you keep using "upgrade" as some sort of fee that i have to pay after i buy the software? Why should i "need" upgrade to anything if i don't want to? what's "forcing" me to "need" the upgrade? I know some people still run Win98 and Win NT4. Who say you "need" to upgrade?
SaaS will "force" you to upgrade to the new version of the software when the vendor added some bloated feature that user don't want. Who have the control in this relationship? Clearly not you the user since you don't own the software nor the data.
SaaS simply acknowledges the simple fact that some people will buy crap base on Buzz and you Sir clearly is one of 'em tool that they try to sell to. Having fun shelling out $$ per month and have your data suck into their service as hostage. while i keep using what i own and ride it until it die and upgrade when i "want" and not "need".
so in other word use the tool that fit the job and that's new? i really love the OSS fanboy's mentality. if the tool doesn't do what you want then dump it. if the tool get in your way then dump it. isn't OSS exit so people have choice? what's the "case of success in the server room bleeding over to the desktop"? isn't it call common sense?
What the fuck? Nike gave Jordan a giant check to use Jordan's image to sell Air Jordan shoes. What the fuck give Jordan the rights to demand a cut on every shoes sold. Jordan already got a huge payout from Nike. Those artists/movie stars already got a fat paycheck from the studio. what the fuck give them the rights to demand more? fuck you! stupid fuck!
there is no difference between Mac and PC on the hardware side. Both platform run Intel and the only difference is Mac come with OS X. it'll be really stupid to buy a Mac to run linux! You do know the difference between Apple and Dell, right? Steve Jobs will laugh at your letter and use it to wipe his ass. It's just plain stupid to sell Mac with Linux. I got an idea. Let's write to Steve and encourage him to sell PC preloaded with Linux.

let's changed Apple to Microsoft and iPhone to Zune and let's see how many of Apple/OSS fanboy going to jump and rip on MS. I love Slashdot's double standard.
All the top OSS project's contributers are on payroll of IBM, RedHat...etc. OSS is dead. there is no armature volunteers. It's all done by professional.
1. you pay for mp3 player say ipod or zune. it doesn't come with any song. you can put your owned song on those devices but player doesn't come with song. why are you counting the hardware as levy?
2. you buy some tune from iTune. you pay Once!
3. you share your purchased song with someone. you pay nothing and probably get a kickback when the person whom you share your tune with pay for those song.
you only pay ONCE. Where the hell do you pay twice? how does this "1 - the levy paid on flash (possibly Apple players are exempt?)" come into play? ipod or zune cost money and it come with no music. do you expect free ipod or zune when you buy music from iTune?

Do you want to guess what piece of software got raped?

It's not like MS have no competition when they started. Apple, IBM, WordPerfect...etc. hell, MS Office was a joke back then.
wait a minute.
