FW: Did Microsoft give up?
Why do you think hardware producers will like that? -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Wojciech Puchar Sent: Thursday, February 21, 2008 1:09 PM To: NetOpsCenter Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; San Diego's BSD Users Group; freebsd-questions@freebsd.org; LUAU Subject: Re: Did Microsoft give up? I just saw on TV news that Micro$oft has announced that it is opening its code for development of its operating system. Does this mean the Open Source Community has proved itself the best way to go? yes. look at linux as an example. this will make windows even slower, even more buggy - thats exactly what hardware producers like. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Every time somebody messed it up, it required more computer time on their iron. The army of ``systems engineers'' required to feed the beasts also benefit from the unnecessary complexity.

A sentiment more unworthy of a free country could hardly be propagated. If the doctrine be admitted, rulers have only to declare war and they are screened at once from scrutiny ... In war, then, as in peace, assert the freedom of speech and of the press. Cling to this as the bulwark of all our rights and privileges. -- William Ellery Channing ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
