What's Wrong With Microsoft?
Sheez, it must be at least a week since I've heard about Microsoft blackmailing a school, screwing consumers or unleashing a software flaw that ruins thousands of businesses. Is Bill Gates OK?

I sure hope he's well enough to support George W. Bush during this exciting campaign.

1. M$ threatened the Peruvian
Gov't when they wanted to install Linex on their computers.
Bill Gate$ has always been sleazy. And M$ software bad.

3. My take:
MS peaked with the full color desktop was complete.

The next phase was internet, which MS has ben unsuccessful at dominating.

In the fuure - most popular MS softwares will be superceded by Linux apps for free - like Star Office.

Noone will knowingly play into anyone's monopoly scheme. That;s why you see mass exodus from MS dependency going on right now and that trend will continue.

4. My nephew wanted an X-Box for Christmas.
What should win out? The love for a boy, or the hatred for an empire?

PS: I gave him a Game Cube and 3 extra games so he'd be too busy to notice.:evilgrin:
