This is not all true. I worked the last 12 years in Microsoft plataform like programmer. I know all the development effort of the Windows plataform since Windows 3.0. We got ammazed with some UI design, but poor core inside. This is all the true in the Microsoft software. I dont feel less like them. I can tell you that IE can be anything, but we need realibility, avaliability and robustness in every piece of software. This characterisc must be in every software. I learned it in the University since 1992 And my teachers told us that this are very old basics of the software development! Why the smart BIG LEAGUERS dont know this?!!!!!!!!!!! Innovation?, New Technology?! Ha! Who make the standards? The stupid community (as you called us) of academics and free software. Then they take it and pattent it! This is the kind of innovation of the big leaguers? If they are so smart, why they never did a reliable OS? Please check http://www.netcraft.com and tell me if the "smart guys are in the top of the list in the most reliables servers in the world! Common check it and tell me what software this server run! Then you can here to flood us with a Microsoft advertisement. 2-Why they have virus problems since 1980? If they are so smart they resolved this problem in just a year? The answer is that the "smart" big leaguers prgrammers can not did a good OS like the stupids guys. Please tell me how many Linux computer are infected every day? You know very well the answer. 3-Why the smart programmers must defrag his hard disk? This problem is very know since the day when Mr. Ritchie and Mr. Kerningham wrote the first Unix in the world. And this appear like the SMART BIG LEAGUERS PROGRAMMERS never studied at the University the fundaments of the OS. Every programmer know about that. I learned it in my second year in the university! And the smart BIG leaguers can dont reproduce it even in his super Windows NT or the last XP! why? They had a big chance: Build a big new OS from scratch. This is a very nice opportunity to make better things. But what we got? You again know the answer: Stupid programmers made a OS in the 70's called UNIX and another dumb called Linus Trovals and his no-life friends made again a big example of OS. Please tell me why? 4-At the last, if you wanna know what the really COM technoligy wants to be. Check the sources of the KDE. This is a really technology piece. Tha again the smarts guy from the BIG LEAGUE (as you call it) got some enhancements that you see in your NEW Windows XP. Please check the OpenFile Dialog box of every application and tell me who did it first! Hehe! Really, the examples are mil. but the only thing I understanded of that is that you dont know the good things that th OpenSources made all the times. You only se a little part of a big thing. I encourage you to learn more before try to attack the OpenSource. If you want attack us. You must know us. Some questions: Do you know from where the windows comes? Do you know from where the MS SQL Server comes? Do you know from where the IE comes? Answer this easy questions and then you will know more about your BIG LEAGUERS- For me this BIG LEAGUERS are not programmers. They know very well how take the software from another lossers and then telll you that this is his innovation! Dont be fooled! At least dont only browse the MSDN.
