Last week I was taking NYC subway and saw a maintenance worker tinkering with a metrocard machine. It was open and going through some kind of rebooting-looking operation. This was clearly considered a sensitive stage because there was an armed guard standing nearby. I glanced at the machine's screen and to my amazement it wasn't any kind of Linux. It was indeed Win XP.

Everything else sucked barnacles. You're glossing over quite a few other successful Microsoft products, such as the XBox, their keyboards, mice and controllers or the Surface (this one is more "good" than "successful" so far, but I expect this to change soon). They certainly don't have a 100% success rate, but they have a decent track record of releasing successful products, even in brand new markets. Claiming that their only successes come from them illegally leveraging their monopoly stopped being accurate about ten years ago. -- Cédric -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
