Well who doesn't "prefer an old, well-known, slowly dying monopoly like Microsoft"?

Given a choice, I mean.

Those Mozilla and Android upstarts are just muddying the waters, right?

I for one look forward to the brilliant success of the Windows tablet, in an unbroken string of triumphs from DOS to the Windows phone!

After all they invented "innovation"...

They're so clever they can make their Windows 7 OS work in anything... even in computers!

Oh you kids!

I remember when you could unlock the multiplier on an Athlon XP CPU by drawing four little lines with a pencil lead!

Now get off my lawn!

Also, the SCOC has the Charter of Rights and Freedoms to rely on, and they've been pretty clear that "freedom of expression" (albeit with greater limitations than in the US) is not something they want to mess with unless there's a very good reason.

I'd be very surprised if they hobble hyperlinking because some puffed up twit doesn't like what the hyperlink says about him

Microsoft?

Making billions from other people's work and then claiming it as their own?

Nah... it'd never happen...

Wonder where Allen got the idea...

I'm sure she's a total babe and a contributor to the Linux kernel.

I look forward to the movie, with her played by Natalie Portman in a skimpy tank top, coding away while Ryan Gosling as Linus Torvald looks on admiringly.

I want to bear her children!

My partner Cyril and I are very excited by this and are jacking off like blazes to provide material for our offspring...

We plan to fill a bucket and then sink it in liquid nitrogen to preserve it.

We've already picked out a name ("Caligula") and are knitting baby booties in myriad rainbow colors...

Oh, bliss!

Yes!

DDoS them all, except Wikileaks of course.

Well, maybe them too just to show we mean business...

"Spoken like a self-important douchebag."

Exactly, you ignorant anti-Javanite!

Who do you blow at Microsoft to get you to pimp for .Net?

Refulgent sold-out sycophant!!!

Comrade, well spoken.

You may pick up your voucher for the "Glorious Leader Whores And Coors Camp" at any WPK bunker...

Wait til they get sharks with these on their heads...

Or better yet... furlongs per hectoliter?

Had this been pointed at Earth, cockroaches would now be the dominant species.

The fact that pictures of Paris Hilton's poontang are freely available on the interwebs means for sure these are the End Times.

I'm sure The Creator is just having a few practise shots before loading up The Rapture Cannon...

Widows Phone 7 is the Zune of Smartphones.

Silverlight is dead out of the gate.

Maybe Microsoft has found another area where their lousy corporate philosophy and innovation through theft will also have an appropriate outcome.

I'll bet it gets a great fps score on Crysis.
