microsoft keeps trying

[M51DPS]

In an attempt to help fight Linux and other open-source alternatives, microsoft has appointed Martin Taylor. He intends to do so by demonstrating the "value" of windows software over open-source. If you haven't already fallen over laughing, he also wants to show how microsoft has "integrated innovation". See the full story here. I wonder what people will start calling him (ballmer was just way to easy).

Ballmer: I know, what'd I tell yah?

Taylor: We are just lucky windows costs less.....right?

Ballmer: You can download it for free.

Taylor: Dear God!

To be continued..........

Ballmer: Developers, developers, developers.....

Taylor: Why do you do that just out of the blue?

This is precious.

If he actually does this, WinDoesn't has had it. All the facts are definitely against it.

I know, I really liked that post so I put it in my signature. But I also didn't put who said because some people get really mad at stuff like that. Plus I just added a Stephen King quote.

As long as a market exists, M$ will do their damndest to make money off of it.  Even if they are trying to kill said market.  Might as well squeeze a few bucks out of them on their way down, eh? (not like that'll ever happen)

Oh, and M$'s new FUDmaster thinks he is Joe Friday, huh?  How about "Joke Friday"? (-; (man, that was just tooo easy)

what i would love to see is when they release the latest bullshit processor, someone load it up with the nastiest virus ever, complete and total destruction of the harddrive or something. so when they all stand around and smile that computer kills every microsoft computer in the world.
i can imagine the headlines now.
oh happy happy,joy joy.
