All you have to do is look at M$ results to see that any information provided on Linux and free software is useless. Note also that search results for things like VB are marginally useful. We use Google because it gets answers. Microsoft knows this and wants to kill Google and every other means of sharing information that might get around their control. Paranoid? No, I just have a memory. I remember them inserting error messages and crashing their software when a competitor was detected and their pre planned public relations blitz to cast blame on the competitor. I've not forgotten the way M$ treats other software firms and they have stated again and again how much they hate the free software "cancer". Microsoft knows that free software will be much more difficult and much less a threat if people can't share what they know and pool their information. M$ was one of the companies who recently put the lean on Cox to close off mail servers of any kind, and I can imagine they are one of the main proponents of bogus "no server" ISP policy. The only problem John might have with Slashdot is that he listened to astroturfers. They do a good job of apologizing for Microsoft's bad behavior. What kind of bullshit is it that you have to press a "next" button to get your search results? Lies, Lies more lies and software that does not work, that's all I expect from M$ and the creeps are all over Slashdots. That's one thing Microsoft has specialized in since Steve Barkto, ie since there were dissusion groups. On 2003.11.16 13:10 Karthik Poobalasubramanian wrote: > No John, You were right! >
