2/13 JUNK ABOUT NT ERASED.
You guys just don't get the big picture, and never will. Of course
people in the academic community know why Microsoft products are
inferior, but try to educate and tell the truth to the rest of the
population. They will never learn, and will never care how/why/why
not to use Microsoft. They will forever be using Microsoft products
because it "looks easy" and is cheap. The ultimate bottom line is,
yes, Microsoft sucks, but they will keep leveraging, buying, sueing,
threaten, whatever until they have everyone else using their
products. That is the destiny, and nothing can stop it. Not Sun,
not Netscape, not IBM. Not even the government or DOJ. Just accept
the fact, just accept the truth, just accept the future. As Sun Tsui
says, the war is won even before it has begun.

But a man does not fight merely to win!
No -- no -- better to know one fights in vain! ...
No! I fight on! I fight on! I fight on!

I am trying my personal best and volunteer substantial time to
educate others about Unix, and while I can breathe well enough
to utter criticisms of Windows for the benefit of just one more
student, I don't want to hear any of this about "destiny".
We make our _own_ destiny. -- schoen
\_ yeah, we already know why M$ sucks, so stop your bandwidth, say
somethin' intelligent and somethin we don't already know, and most
importantly, DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT DAMNIT
\_ Uhm... ya. Whatever. Obviously, you're young and ignorant of the
way the world works. No one stays on top forever. No one.

\_ Microsoft's biggest opponent is Microsoft itself. People are
tiring of their crappy products and support. People are opposed
to the idea of a huge corporate monolith making decisions for
them. Eventually, that will catch up to the company. It happens
to most large corporations. It becomes difficult to respond to
the desires of the consumer when a company reaches a certain
size and Microsoft, too, shall pass no matter what becomes of
its current competitors, although it may evolve into an
entirely different sort of company (shift focus). --dim
\_ No duh, they're moving to content providing business.
MSNBC, MSN, M Start, Web TV, publishing, newspaper,
propaganda, oh, just simple stuff that brain wash people.
\_ You mean they're failing to move to content providing.
Content is free. Let 'em have it. Can't support a
zillion dollar company and their stock gains on content.
They don't own content, nor can they possibly own all
the way to acquire it. 'dim' was correct when stating
that MS will just get too damned big.
\_ Sure you can create content. Check out
