Microsoft finds legal defender in Justice Department in today's NY Times (signing up required, but free).

Well, this perfectly sums it all up.

You have a very entertaining writing style for a newbie on the forums. :D

Merged threads.

Wired magazine has a nice Windows Vista rant by an originally die-hard Windows fan.

Merged threads.

In a German blog, an interpretation of the partnership between Microsoft and Novell was that Microsoft uses the partnership to get a hold of Novell's customer database. After that they get their lost...

I just come back from reading an article over at Wired Magazine about Microsoft and its struggle for survival. Once again it's a very fair article that points out what's wrong over at Microsoft, but...

Good software needs space - and think about how many jobs this already has created and still is going to do. :)

It made me frown when I read that e.g. the File menu is turned off by default in Windows Explorer. I bet they give you full admin priviledges in the command line instead. :cool:

Well, you got a nice palindrome instead. :)

20 things you won't like about Windows Vista

In my eyes a very fair and neutral article. However, especially since it isn't an anti-Microsoft rant it makes you scratch your head even more and...

Have you ever tried SuSE?



Well, this is true. OTOH, what does the average homeuser need? A WWW browser, an email client, a writing application. It's all in the reps. I think most of the users...

I doubt this is true. The sole reason why Windows is easy to use is because everyone develops for this platform so most software and support is available for this platform. Installing software e.g....

Well, the thing with MS Windows is that it does not work. Everyone who has been trying to work with it for a longer time or works in tech support can tell you that.

Yesterday my dad bought the new...

This was said three years ago and thank God free software still is free. However, free software and DRM still is an issue as can be seen in this current discussion:

Lessig, Stallman on 'Open...

Yesterday I read a publication listing the exspected minimal hardware requirements to run Windows Vista. To my surprise, my four year old box still meets them - although it exactly meets them, that...

Right, and wasting even more time instead of getting some work done? :D

<EDIT>Oh, BTW, nice new avatar you have there. :) If there were a contest for the coolest collection of avatars, you and...

Yes, but our policy on not talking politics here prevents me from giving a reply. ;)

No, I didn't since I'm giving a chance to any thread not to end up as a bashing thread. ;)

Well, their foundation indeed is a good thing no matter what one thinks about Microsoft's crappy software. If their foundation didn't pay for vaccines in 3rd world countries, probably nobody would...

Ah, I didn't know Windows ME had support after release day. I even paid for this piece of ****. :mad:

I always get an adrenaline rush when looking through that IE Window. :D

Just read an interesting story in a German blog that I read daily (text in English):

On not being evil

You know, what really surprises me is that they didn't announce "Windows Media Center PC" bigger, at least over here in Urop. No ad campaigns, no big displays in the shops - no nothing. Instead,...
