February 27, 200521 yr There's an article in there about when Bill Gates will hire Linus Torvalds (2010)... <{POST_SNAPBACK}>*Imperial march in the background*
February 27, 200521 yr I'm serious... Someone made it up, but its pretty funny... Its called: "Leaked from the future: THE MICROSOFT MEMO"Caption: "Bill Gates hires open source icon Linus Torvalds? That was just the beginning of Redmond's hybrid strategy to face the free software age."February Issue of WIRED Magazine
February 27, 200521 yr Bill Gates hires open source icon Linus Torvalds?<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Don't worry - chances of this ACTUALLY happening is zero. Just some humour maybe...
February 28, 200521 yr This is all in fun guys..M$ is gonna be around for years to come...i keep thinking the only possibility tht someone will challenge MS seriously...would be Google. Its already the no 1 search engine, and adding new stuff everyday..and most importantly..its supposed to be open and transparent, and ppl trust it! its conceivable that one day they might come out with even an entire OS (ok..this is just conjecture!!)..so lets wait and see wht step google takes next! Wat do u guys think?
March 7, 200521 yr The web browser part is wrong, out of date eh? IE is not 92%, it's 87% at the rising success of Firefox.
March 7, 200521 yr its conceivable that one day they might come out with even an entire OS (ok..this is just conjecture!!)..so lets wait and see wht step google takes next! Wat do u guys think?<{POST_SNAPBACK}>I think thats more than unlikely ... its imposible! ... Creating a new OS frem scratch and trying to compete with well established OS's like Windows, Linux and Mac OS is simple a stupid idea to begin with ...
March 9, 200521 yr huh?No matter how wonderful googleOS is (if at all ), I still wouldn't move from the platforms I currently use - windows and linux. There's far too many things that lock the market into an OS.....
April 20, 200521 yr I wonder if a higher resolution version of this picture exists ?BTW: I like things how they are - it is good that Microsoft is there and it is good that Linux is there as well. Something to work with and something to play with ( yet one can do both with both )
