On Thu, 6 Sep 2001 00:16:52 -0400 burns [EMAIL PROTECTED] insightfully noted: snip It's hard and requires a talent for high farce, but try to put yourself in the Redmond mindset - think like Fuzzy Allchin or Thickasa Bollard: - It is Microsoft's Constitutional right and God-given destiny to dominate the computer industry... it's the American Way. - After all, Bill Gates really invented the PC and the whole industry, after IBM, Steve Jobs and Texas Instruments screwed it up... so it's our football and our sandbox. - Why would any one want to use anything else, when it's obviously inferior... after all, it isn't Microsoft. - If you have coded anything to run on a PC, then obviously you are either stealing our code, or trespassing on our turf. - These Linux fanatics are unAmerican, tofu-eating, birkenstock-wearing socialist commies who haven't grown up yet. They don't know what the real world is - it's Microsoft. - Businesses that have adopted Linux have been misled by Linux Lies(tm) and disinformation spread by a few pony-tailed fuzzy-thinking jobless parasites. It's not their fault. It is our mission to educate them so they can rejoin the real world and pay licence fees like evgeryone else... after all, it's for their own good. Along a similar vein, Microsoft took out a double page ad in last month's Linux magazine - a first ever. When asked by LM why they were doing this, Redmond reportedly replied that it finally occured to them that hadn't done a good job of explaining to folks that Microsoft really was the best software around. As a result, a few businesses such as ISPs had strayed to the dark side. Their aim was to set the record straight so these folks could return to the fold, thus putting the galaxy back in balance.

Re: M$ gets a free 'get out of jail card' Re: New SxS ?
This is bigger than our inclinations. The NY TIMES had a glowing review of windows XP. GLOWING. The important message is that to run it any computer two years old will be too slow (memory hog, cpu needful). So, the PC industry is hoping that windows XP will be the must have app that will ignite sales again. Certainly, a bunch of people like us using a low overhead OS like linux will never do anything to ignite PC sales. To delay windows XP because of some lapses in good conduct by certain MS$ executives might cost many people their jobs and hurt the reelection chances of some politicians.

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url=/ TechNet/prodtechnol/iis/deploy/depovg/win2kcd.asp You need to leave on the \ at the end of the first line. Also, when pasting, linux or opera converted that space in front of TechNet to %20, which didn't help either. Anyway, its all about how and why people should switch from linux to microsoft for their server needs. As a heavy holder of MS stock, I say, great job! It reads as smoothly as those tobacco company articles about the statistical association between smoking and adverse health effects. And, knowing my IS people, will be quite effective. Of course, since we don't use any linux in our very large corporation, they might not even read them.
