The brightest minds in the world work for Microsoft. They produce software 24 hours a day, everyday, of every year. I don't understand why people don't get it. Microsoft's software runs the world because they are the best at what they do. I mean this "best" in every sense of the word, from technical innovation to business partnerships. If you're too blind to see it, you're in denial.
Reminds me of the difference between theory and practice. Theoretically, they should be the best. In practice,........
I've got a station wagon - I can carry up to 8 people, and I used it this weekend to pick up a 50 gallon water heater (in its shipping box) with room to spare. It is low enough that I can easily put our kayaks on top, and it out handles SUVs. And I get 26-27 mpg (driving to work, shopping, and running the kids around).
SCO paid a lot for the sort of technology that Linux distros now provide for free, so they had a choice of admitting that they had made bad investments in the past, or attempt to put the legal blame on others for their own bad decisions.
No, when Caldera bought the assets from the Santa Cruz Operation they stated that they were more interested in the dealer network than the "technology" that they were buying.
