Oh, Im looking forward to this

Oh, looks like M$ is going to let Ballmer ruin more aussie market share! He is probably going to get all aggresive about the buggy coding they call Windows! Viva Linux

If you share my view, email me at roland986@gmail.com

Unfortunate resemblance

Is it just my eyes, or does the picture of Balmer at the top of this page look rather like a certain A.Hitler?

10 years ago...

10 years ago we were using Win98. Not much different to the Mircosoft of today.

Since then a decade lost in code bloat and the pursuit of a DRMd dream. 10 years from now, well Im still waiting for my flying car, but if the future promise is something that looks like world wide facebook then it will be a sad day indeed. Bring on the Azure screen of death.

You can't talk like this. It scares children.

Videos like this should get a warning label or rating of some sort. Children should not be exposed to this. It sets a terrible example.
