Microsoft is the living proof that Marketing > Quality (as if anybody doubted that). They know that their marketing dept is their most important asset, and they can afford to pour cash at them. Hence their marketing people can afford to try out any wacky ideas and see what sticks. "Give me a child until he is seven, and I will show you the man." -- Francis Xavier
I'm sick of hearing of this acronym. Can't you just give it a rest? It's so very 90s to be complaining about "FUD". And a very shallow analysis. It's so 70's, as coined by Gene Amdahl after leaving IBM
When Redhat crumbles (assuming they haven't already) we'll all be paying a Microsoft tax. NEVER! Before I pay a copper cash to Microsoft, I will scrap all my computers and give up the Internet forever and change jobs to gardening!
Also you have to think about the needless traffic this generates with minor revisions/etc going over the wire. Think of it like a dumb terminal, but with millions of users from all over the globe. That has to be a lot of traffic. I had the same argument with the Mainframe guys about Unix echoing every keystroke back in the pre-SYS-V days. It has the same merit now as it did them.
I produced a similar list in Pascal for the DRS-300 pre-Unix system in 1983 while working for ICL. I don't claim credit as I has a copy of "Sorting and Searching" by Knuth

I'm kind of astonished that the author of the Fortune article could be that stupid.
Read any articles by Daniel Lyons lately?
DRM is like trying to make water not wet.
"Do not recommend Linux for it's "not there yet." I will give KDE a few more years."
Forget it, Fanboy! Linux will never catch up with MS's ability to run malware.
I regularly power up my ASUS 901 Eee PC Sometimes several times a day as I move from place to place or while it's idle to save the battery
In the UK, there are five brownouts per week, Monday - Friday, from 18:00 onwards.
The Asus 701 (eee PC) will also be available with Windows XP. It would appear that Microsoft may price XP as low a $15 USD.
Is this the same Gartner Group that in 1999 said that "Linux is the Hype Du Jour"?
The tubs, the main structural component of Formula 1 cars is carbon fiber. Built that way for strength and lightness I understand.
IMOSHO!
The Internet treats censorship as damage, and routes around it. (John Gilmore as seen on /.)

Being the secretary/scribe is almost as powerful. You get to write history!
Too slow. Clunkly navigation. High noise to information ratio
