I don't hate Microsoft, I hate their business model and the results of it.

No silverlight

Of course they are able to become an interoperability leader but that would ruin their business idea.

I never press the winky of anyone!

I have wasted a lot of time on Vista as well.

is it? Maybe legally, but not morally.

Here is a nice picture of one

Microsoft park on the evil side as usual.

You keep a database with all current versions. It is searchable and you don't see the old ones if you don't want to.

Microsoft has a way of always create new taint!

Obviously this has gone undetected so long because of the lack of understanding of the issue in general and the users lack of access to the code in special. How many of these issues are still hidden?

I have 100 Mbit , two ways, and I'm not alone. Speed in browser is a factor. Remember, "640 Kb ought to be enough for everyone"?

I do use that as well. In order to be a good deliverer of IT, I use what our clients use so that I have the same problems as they do. I would like to put them all on Linux, but there is a lot of resistance.

Usually, I leave the computer on, but sometimes I need to reboot, because the machine get slow, memory is used up and it start to swap. I avoid doing it because it take the machine 5 minutes to go down and 2 minutes to start. Compare that to 20 seconds to go down and 20 seconds to boot for my portable with Ubuntu.

There is the explanation for the shutdown benchmark.

I know, a lot of people believe that when there is more users, there are more incentive to exploit and that is the only difference between Windows and Linux. It's just that it doesn't work that way. They are implemented in a different way, and since my confidence in the security of Microsoft isn't that great, I don't believe you are right.
