Microsoft disregards Linux as threat. Big mistake.

Linux also is spelled in a way that is close to Linus.

Linus was a SECONDARY, LESS IMPORTANT character on the comic strip "Peanuts".

COINCIDENCE????????????????

I have to agree with Microsoft here. Linux isn’t a threat to its DESKTOP business.

Linux is a threat to Microsoft’s business everyplace else though.

Phone OS
Embedded OS
Pad OS
Server OS

As I’ve pointed out here before, my TV actually runs Linux. My GPS also runs Linux. This is the expanding market for operating systems, not desktop computers.

[Lazamataz]

I have used PURE LOGIC to defeat you.

[ShadowAce]

COINCIDENCE?????????????

MS is the same as Muscular Sclerosis.

COINCIDENCE?????????????

[Lazamataz]

You never had a chance, though. Against an overpowering mind like mine, coupled with my perfect-logic points, you never had a chance.

[ShadowAce]

Linus Pauling became famous by discovering medicine (and the nature of the chemical bond) to help cure cancer.

Gates dropped out of college.

[Lazamataz]

MS is the same as Muscular Sclerosis.

While your logic and reasoning is most impressive, I would point out that it is called MULTIPLE Sclerosis, meaning that your entire premise was invalid.

Q.E.D.

[ShadowAce]

You never had a chance, though.

Give me credit for trying, though.

[Lazamataz]

Linus Pauling became famous by discovering medicine (and the nature of the chemical bond) to help cure cancer.

Yet, cancer is not cured.

You aren't much good at logic, are you? Allow me to demonstrate:

Gates dropped out of college.

Gates and Windows are something one goes through to get to a desired location.

See? Now THAT is LOGIC.

[ShadowAce]

...I would point out that it is called MULTIPLE Sclerosis,...

Drat. I knew my lack of caffeine this morning would hurt me later on today.

Tablets are the future. Most people just need to consume data and that’s a great device for consuming info. The designers may still need a full blown desktop environment to design tools and widgets for the tablets.

And once that shift is underway, next who knows. More kinect like interactivity with holograhic projections or something like minority report.

[cartan]

None of those even consider running Windows for their real work. It is consigned to the desktop, where its damage can be contained.

This is utter nonsense. Most enterprise software typically runs on Windows. Some use Solaris and Java on servers.

[ShadowAce]

Gates and Windows are something one goes through to get to a desired location.

Windows break, and gates are what burglars go through to steal your stuff.

[RBranha]

Windows is the best operating system in the world, bar none. Linux starts with the letter L. Loser starts with the letter L. COINCIDENCE?????????????

Lazamataz starts with the letter L.

Just sayin' . . .

[ShadowAce]

This is utter nonsense.

Sorry--I'm speaking from first-hand knowledge and experience.

[Lazamataz]

Impressive logic, young Skywalker. But you are not a Jedi YET.

[Lazamataz]

Lazamataz starts with the letter L.

The L is silent.

[ShadowAce]

The L is silent.

So--You're an "az" ?

[Lazamataz]

I am the greatest Az on Ree Epublic.

[Lazamataz]

Besides, Linux ends with the letter X. The letter X denotes porn.

Ergo, Linux is porn.
