in the linux world... relativity really works... yeah along with evolution ... :D i mean... thinks happen really fast.. one example is beryl... and combine that with things like Moore's Law and most distro's 6 month cycle and M$'s crappy codes... M$ will be dead sooner than u know.... the worst thing is that M$ has some of the best heads into the development of .NET and dunno what's happening... I've been personally impressed with some of the tools of .NET and their IDE... and their Robotics program... but that's as far as MS goes.... I would prefer using eclipse than be locked in the API straight jacket of M$///
Just waiting for a huge confrontation... surely M$ isn't going to die... it will change tho...
