I've never thought the people at M$ were stupid, or incapable. Their problem is that the company's run by marketers instead of engineers. I'm with you; this guy was just venting his frustrations.

Flamebait??? C'mon people. Canonical seems to be hell-bent on digging their own grave.

People are like the proverbial frog put in a pot to boil. This has been going on a long time. I thought for sure that Americans would revlt against the TSA fondling them at airports, but we've become a nation of compliant sheep.

And nothing of value was lost

A toast!

Hans Reiser's relationship tips!

That's some mighty fine stuff, whatever it is

Just sayin'

This hysteria surrounding GM crops and now the bee thing has always mystified me. Without those GMOs and without those pesticides, yields would be much lower. Technological advances have allowed mankind to multiply farm output per acre many times. Try feeding 7 billion people with mules and cow manure & purely "organic" methods.

WH8 needs to lose Metro. I don't know a *single* business that's hankering to install it. Its only adoption will be by consheepmers.

... That rules out Obama...

Why not? Star Trek has.

... He'd just red-shift more and more forever

It boggles my ever loving mind how people here are making excuses for this nitwit. HE COULD HAVE KILLED SOMEONE. How hard is that to understand?

I second this. SUSE is a damn great distro and gives the best KDE4 experience out-of-the-box of ANY Linux. It's easy to install and detects almost everything I've thrown at it (TV cards and wireless might be a problem) and is very user firendly. It gets a bad rep here in /. culture because of the M$ deal. For that matter Fedora's getting a bad rep because of their UEFI Secure Boot deal with M$. Slashdot culture is a funny thing. Criticize Apple and it's like kicking over an anthill. Now apparently ditto Ubuntu and Unity, & Ubuntu's practices. But it's okay to bash Metro and W8, whose lead Shuttleworth seems hell bent on following. Go on, people. Criticize away.
