All Things Microsoft > Microsoft as a Company
Imagining a day without Microsoft

Obviously the author is either full of shit, or has never tried any other OS besides M$ Window$, or both. Linux is really NOT that hard to figure out. Besides there are so many Linux distros that are exact copycats of Window$ that most people would not know the difference. Oh, and if the rioting does occur, a lot of stupid people will die ... and the world would still be a better place without them and without M$.

If you really think about it, Microsoft has devoted billions and billions of dollars into making sure that once someone tries Windows, they have to stick with Windows. Imagine instead if they had devoted billions into making their system work really well. Regardless of what you may have heard, nobody hates Microsoft because they make the best products. IF Microsoft made something that was insanely greater than anything else, it would be successful without all their backstabbing and FUD and attorney wars.
I think that the overnight loss of Microsoft and the sudden disappearance of all their products would be a great boost for the world economy. Suddenly, every member of this forum would be a highly trained computer professional, making shitloads of money helping their friends, neighbors, and any other willing clients set up computer systems. Punk teenagers around the globe would be buying Porsches and lakeside condos with all the money they made writing simple bash scripts for accounting firms. It would be a good life for awhile.

People wouldn't "panic in the streets" about anything technology. I mean, heck, people in the USA don't panic in the streets for anything.

I vote for idiot. Dunno about Apple, but Open Source has always been better at releasing patches than MS. That was just a stupid statement.
