to get a laugh, but great new<br>technologies! and Innovation! Why are Microsoft planning their new<br>operating system, Win 7, on the Linux model: small kernel; modular<br>systems? Why did they model Explorer 7 on Firefox with the tabbed<br>browsing? Why is their new hypervisor with Windows server rumoured to<br>be based on Xen? Yes they are using open source within their code,<br>that is why they have been shouting about patents and trying to make<br>agreements with Linux distributions. Not because we have anything of<br>theirs but they have got ours, they can do so legally as long as they<br>make the code available, but to publicly admit to using open source<br>code would be an embarrassment. We shall see in the coming months what<br>develops from this situation, I am especially interested in where they<br>got their new hypervisor from. So if people want to believe their<br>bullshit about great new technologies and Innovation, keep living in<br>cloud cuckoo land.
Whilst they have still got the desktop market, they<br>are getting trounced in supercomputing and embedded devices. They fear<br>Linux because it is so flexible and architecturally superior and is on<br>a roll, they are trying to stop this. Why are they visiting<br>Universities in the U.K.? Because Vista is rubbish and innovative<br>students are looking for alternatives for their operating systems and<br>their programming (hacking) skills and with the mobile and embedded<br>Linux giving them opportunities Microsoft feel a bit under threat. The<br>team is only to keep potential University programmers under the thumb,<br>wasting their talents really and to cover up their incompetence in<br>computing.<br><br>gordon<br><br>On Jan 11, 2008 4:06 PM, Lee Hughes <toxicnaan@yahoo.co.uk> wrote:<br>><br>> Seriously, I think it might be an interesting for us lot to go along, and<br>> see<br>> what great new technologies microsoft are touting.<br>><br>> >
