Given that OSS can ONLY make money from offering support....OSS people will offer better support
How did you come to that conclusion? Seems like FUD if you ask me. If anything, OSS companies would try to oversell you on support, keep you on the phone longer, and result in shoddier software which require you to keep calling back. Wouldn't that be a more likely corporate evolution of a company that ONLY obtains revenue from Support contracts??
Real seems to be trying hard for a comeback.
Rhapsody (though full of DRM) has an amazing to-go service that I find unbeatable at the moment.
Even though REAL's old software (with blinking systray icons) was more than annoying, I admit I'll probably give this a try.
You are just another blind/. 'Microsoft-Hater', and regardless of truth you will continue to believe your point is correct.
Even if some developers are migrating to the Mac/Java/Linux environments, it still doesn't disprove anything that I've said..Net 3.5 will certainly recoup some of the percentage lost in this crappy report. (if it is even accurate to begin with)
P.S. You better reply quickly before the school bus comes.
So you're saying that developers (who I'd assume are generally making their living at it) are just not programming ANYTHING in anticipation of a new version of.net? Please, get the fuck out! That's got to be the dumbest thing I've read all day. calm down spazz. i guess i need to explain this further so you can understand.
With the advent of.Net 3.5, (LINQ and all the additional features), on top of performance and security bonuses, it will certainly gain ground with new projects and corporations.
I do not expect anyone to be sitting idly counting the minutes for its release, but some projects are absolutely (for certain) are on hold until the new release. Blow me, k?;)
The article also failed to mention a lot of developers might be holding off until.Net 3.5 is fully released, which will undoubtedly increase Windows development percentage. And the fact ASP.Net websites 'might' be considered cross-platform leads me to believe this article is FUD.
BUT, as a current.Net developer, I cant afford not to pay attention to those numbers. I guess I should download 2007.0 when I get home.
Keep your friends close, but keep your enemies closer.
I agree, is there any real reason to change from IDE to SATA connectors? or AGP to PCI-Express?
(I'm talking about the actual physical layout from AGP to PCIx)
Why is backwards compatibility so critical when it comes to software, but hardware manufactures just decide to chuck it out the window?
Sure, it seems pointless, but create the Domain anyway. Filters can easily block some additional stuff and at the same time, provide a new domain for porn mongers to use. I expect a lot of new websites would use the.xxx extension, even if not exclusively, it will reduce the.COM bloat.
My point is, who cares, create.ABC for all I care.
AMD will catch back up. Intel is a monster, much like Microsoft. Sure, they gain a step here and there, but because they are so large and slow, I'm sure AMD will catch up.
In fact, Intel Quad processors currently are two dual-core dies mashed together, where AMD is coming out with a pure Quad core solution. It wouldnt be surprising to see them gain a temporary advantage. (the back and fourth is amazing for consumers) http://www.legitreviews.com/article/426/1/ (includes a picture!)
are you serious? my ubuntu desktop at home is much less responsive than Windows XP on the same hardware. (with significant tweaks: prefetching, custom kernel, running Swiftfox)
Not to mention FireFox completely crashes on me Daily.
I may not be the uber-linux user that you are, but your statement seems completely hypocritical without any actual resolution to the problem you proposed. To be honest, I'm reasonably happy with Microsoft products.
That, or more likely, candidates will begin switching over to these applications, just to find they are as error-prone and buggy as any Windows application.
I'm no fan of DRM or Microsoft licensing, but when the shift to Linux/Google starts to take place, I can see a lot of companies falling back after a few months.

Infants do not understand your electric-socket example, but they will cry if you blast loud music or poke at them with a knife.
I mostly get advertisements about Kitchen Knives and Handguns.
...too far??

MADNESS?!?! THIS...IS...PROGRAMMING!!!
sure, but your sector sizes would be enormous and you'd waste more space than Rosie O'Donnell.
Not to be a troll or anything, but the article you referenced is 6 years old.
I hope Intel moves a little quicker than that.
...but there is a correct and incorrect way to speak.
your argument instills things like Ebonics, which is just a conscience effort to intentionally avoid learning proper English.
but they mentioned about 10 Apple products!
well you shouldnt be browsing the internet on your secure server anyway. linux+firefox isn't full-proof either.
so should we upscale her required distance to...say...40 miles??

I cant find the Wikipedia page that lists things NASA actually invented...
