jwilcox154's Journal: Response to Twitter's Latest Journal Entry - #206773

Taking a look at Twitter's latest journal leaves me wondering, where the hell did he get the idea someone is shilling for Microsoft? This is an assult on Toreo asesino (951231) and claims he or she is a Microsoft zealot.
Let's take a look at Mr. Hill's claims.

The first claim is "M$ will continue to have 90% of the market forever." Toreo actuall made the comment "Yeah, my prediction is that the market will even out slightly because in the end, each major OS exists for reasons the others don't - and Microsoft can't go much higher than 90%" Much higher than 90%, totally opposite than what Twitter The Troll is claiming.

The Second claim is "M$ Stock and market share are healthy" When toreo actually was making a counter argument against the claim that Microsoft's stocks are crashing.

The third claim is "M$ is embracing OSS because they have given up a few of their secrets." Here is the actual context of what was said "

There's a fair amount of information on MS protocols and standards on MSDN - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc216514.aspx [microsoft.com]

and their source-code is available for review at least @ http://www.microsoft.com/resources/sharedsource/default.mspx [microsoft.com] ... which 10 years ago would've been unthinkable; but yeah, although it's a far cry from the GPL, is still hugely better than it was.
" In other words, Microsoft is changing with the demands of their customers. They could acutally be re-evaluating their original stance on open-source and even changing their strategy to include open source. It is possible ten years from now we could hear Microsoft using the GPL for projects.

The fourth claim is "IE 7 is most secure browser," while the comment header states "Technically, IE7 is the most secure browser out..." Key-word, "Technically" Then explains how it could technically be the most secure. Afterwards, Toreo explains "That said, it still sucks compared to FireFox 3 in terms of useful functionality, but that's another story." A far cry from a Internet Explorer Troll.

The Final Claim "America rules England sucks", Toreo was referring to the title of a youtube video. A joke. No hatred involved.

So much for your shrilling Twitter. No wonder why you set your journal to friends only 'Or should I say sock-puppets only?'
