Let the Fire War begin! Lets see, where to start? _/*UM NO!*/_ If in truth this guy works for M$ and is trying to improve the OS, why on our backs? I see this as an insidious attempt to diminish Linux in a public way. I can hear it in the press now... <microsoft> "We talked to Linux users who would run our OS if we did these things." </microsoft> These people are not above lying, cheating, steeling, and twisting your words to promote what they sell. I say we winuke the buggers and let them eat cake. <sidenote> Some ignorant fool from somewhere in Arkansas sent me an eMail requesting a picture of Jason. (see www.screechowl.org for more info.) The person said they were a reporter with PEOPLE magazine, but the eMail address was not from People magazine, like the one I sent a message to editor at people.com They said they were reporting on solders who had been killed serving their country in Iraq. I asked that they verify who they were, they replied but asked me to ignore the request. )I may be dumb but I'm not stupid( Yup, the eMail to editor at people.com included name and eMail address of the sender. </sidenote> I put microsoft and ibm on the same level as people like this.
