I have to put my 2 cents down for prosperity sake.
which is important :) All you people that live in cities and constantly sicken yourselves by
your own pollution, need to live on a mountain for a couple years, look back at what you say and see how hilarious it all is.
I live near a desert? does that' coun't for isolation and freedom of thoughts? (Sorry in Australia, our mountains are hard to come by at times).
How many times can the battle of north and south be fought and... won? :)
Until East & West figure out it's time to join in, and then we go on Springer... i got dibs on the chair throwing... Listening to people engrossed in the politics of banter on the internet
is much more funny than turning on the TV these days.
They still have TV? you mean YouTube + TV can co-exist? next thing you'll say Silverlight and Flash can co-exist.. pft crazy talk. Scott, your just a person that likes getting people talking regardless of
the side your on. Your good at it to.
Oh stop, you say that to all the Evangelists.. now you're making me blush *blush in ascii art*. As far as Microsoft's world domination, I doubt it. No one ever 'wins'
forever. I think most of the resistance you feel around your posts is exactly what Dave Wolf said... now theres options, people want choice. I guess that is what the market and developers 'against' Microsoft have been saying forever... WE WANT CHOICE!
Watch what you wish for, you just may get it... I think that is what being human is all about.
Peace, Mike
If I didn't have leg cramps right about now, i'd stand and applaud you :) (Seriously - Politics is bound to happen when you have to large corporations saying to all of you - try my stuff, no try mine, nooo try mine... and so on.. Adobe & Microsoft compete on a number of levels while at the same time - this will freak the kids out in the front row - without Microsoft, Adobe couldn't of gotten to where it is today. Without Microsoft Flash's penetration numbers wouldn't be where they are/were today (but its ok, no thanks required for the Updates / Default installs we put on the box when we ship etc). I should also mention sites like Honda, MySpace, YouTube and Movie Sites etc were also strong drivers in this space more so then us. Yet if i say this outloud then we could sober up a bit and no1 likes a buzz killer ;) Point: Lighten up folks, it's just technology - or should I say Silverlight, Light up the web! :) -- Regards, Scott Barnes Developer Evangelist Microsoft - whom wrote this with GMAIL.. shhh, don't tell HQ or they'll dock my pay ...as Hotmail and GMAIl cannot co-exist at all! it's in the rules alongside Silverlight and Flash :)
