Well, IMHO we're already fucked by Skype for Linux. I only hope MS fucks Skype up so bad that I can convince friends and relatives to switch to something else... like Ekiga or whatever...

Here in Denmark we have the option to get most official papers regarding payment (income and bills) electronically. At this point I get, at most, 2-3 letters in my mailbox a month. Most of those are trivial and quickly find their new home in the rubbish bin. I also read all my news online, so I've opted out of getting the free newspapers and adds, which makes my life easier, since I don't have to take the garbage out as much as I used to

Submission + - Internet Explorer 10 Drops Vista Support (pcmag.com)
Pigskin-Referee writes: This week at Microsoft's MIX11 Web developer conference, the company surprised many by making a pre-release version of Internet Explorer 10 available—less than a month after IE9 came out in its final form. But another surprise was uncovered by Computerworld's Gregg Keizer: the next IE won't run on any OS before Windows 7, including Vista.
Microsoft took some heat when it came out that Internet Explorer 9 would leave millions of Windows XP users in the lurch, as the new browser would only run on Windows 7 and Vista. But the company confirmed that IE10 won't even run on Vista. In a statement to Computerworld, the company said "Windows Vista customers have a great browsing experience with IE9, but in building IE10 we are focused on continuing to drive the kind of innovation that only happens when you take advantage of the ongoing improvements in modern operating systems and modern hardware."

Submission + - Ex-Microsoft GM Can't Work 'Anywhere in the World'
theodp writes: Be careful before you sign a Microsoft non-compete agreement, kids. GeekWire reports that King County Superior Court Judge Kimberley Prochnau has enjoined former Microsoft General Manager Matthew Miszewski from 'working in a marketing role in salesforce.com's public or commercial sector anywhere in the world.' So what did onetime Wisconsin State CIO Miszewski do to warrant the global ban? 'He was a major evangelist for Microsoft,' explained Judge Prochnau, who added that the 'thrust of the order is to preclude him from being the evangelist for Salesforce.com that he was for Microsoft.' Microsoft, which has warned Congress that restricting the flow of talent is ruinous to America, said in a statement that the company is pleased with the ruling.
