Re: Possibility for FreeBSD 4.11 Extended Support

2006-12-29 Thread Ted Mittelstaedt
I got one better than that:

A recent e-mail from Bill Gates of Microsoft stated:

 It's interesting that so far I've actually not yet seen even one person
e-mail
Microsoft since the Windows XP EoL announcement to say,

   If I volunteer my time or pay for your time to support Windows XP for
security
patches, can we extend the EoL?.

Same difference.

  If I missed your e-mail, sorry about that, but I do read pretty fairly
  carefully so feel some justification in making this claim.

 Just wanted you to know I loved your message. It is very to the point
 and you took the time to elaborate on almost every aspect of this
 discussion. Not that it'll help I'm afraid. You must be willing to
 reason first ;-) But at least we can refer to your message in future
 times.
