When you're telling the CPU what you want it to do ?

Show me an object orientated CPU

Show me a CPU without a jump instruction

If you came to my company for a job, and you told me C was "too complex" or "too hard", I'd just show you the door.

Hmmm fyngyrz ...

Comment Is That Not How Microsoft Office took Over ? (Score 1) 251

All --

I remember the early-to-mid-90s when Microsoft gave away their inferior Office
Product with every PeeCee.

It only took a couple years for Microsoft Office to virtually destroy WordPerfect,
Lotus and AMIPro.

IMO, OpenOffice is a much better product today than when Microsoft leveraged their
OS Monopoly to corner the Integrated Office Application Market.

The difference now is that the PeeCee Manufacturers are rightly terrified of MS
so that they apparently refuse to bundle OpenOffice with each PeeCee and perhaps
because OpenOffice lacks an integrated Email App (maybe).

I wish Mark Cuban was right but I am afraid Microsoft's Monopoly is too powerful
to kill with a free product that's 'good enough'.

Too bad ...
