Biologists know that an unbalanced ecosystem, one dominated by a single species, is more vulnerable to collapse. I think we're seeing this today. Unchecked under the Consent Decree, it will continue and probably get worse. But it is not too late. Alternatives are still available. Action can still be taken. I call on you..............
"I call on you?" The DOJ? Who made Mycrowsauce rich in the first place? WE DID!!! We bought it, hook, line and sinker. The only way to end Win dominance is to stop giving freely to M$. It has already begun.
Win products are overcomplex and prone to failure. The support base is not present. Let me offer one example. Recently here in Hamilton, Ontario, there was an interuption in pppoe service with my ISP. Strange thing was, it did not affect my Linux boxes. In fact, there are so few Linux users with my ISP, that they were in constant contact with me during the down time. I hope I was of some service to them in resolving the issue.
We must simply boycott M$ products, seek alternatives and assist the newbies.
XP and M$ in general, will prove itself a failure. Visit grc.com, Steve Gibson has done extensive security work and has warned Mycrowsauce repeatedly about releasing raw sockets to ordinary users. Let's be patient and humbly recline as the cookie crumbles.
