Never claimed that Apple ‘invented’ the GUI. They licensed the technology from Xerox PARC. NOT stole - saw, liked, licensed and played fair and squre.

Did you know that? No rip-off at all.

Why the desperate churn? Why the re-use of antiquated technologies (why do we resort to the Hard Drive to cache files - when we have more RAM than we know what to do with - and it’s over 1,000x faster to hit that?).

One of their greatest current evils is continuing to support netbios.

Gag me with a brontosaurus.

LOL. I always think of Monty Python when I hear about "bing".

I’ll see your Brontosaurus and raise you a Trilobite

Yeah rebrand a first place company to match their third place product, that’s a great idea.

Yes total sarcasm. MS has had a bad reputation for close to 25 years, and yet they still stay on top of the heap. No reason to rebrand while you’re actually making money.

LOL.

I have a reputation in these parts as a Microsoft hater (not in an over-the-top way), but find I hate Google even more! I trust Google less by a long shot, as we all should. Microsoft products seem like a friendly, honest respite compared to Google’s.

I was quite happy that removing the google toolbar ends with them wanting to know why.

I wrote one single word. “Egypt”

What, more people would buy Exchange if it was called BingMail?
