What I find funny are the number of ABM'ers who are still living in the
1990s - the desktop doesn't matter and anyone with some brain
power can see that Microsoft see's the future in all the technologies
they're developing today. Just as IBM eventually moved away and killed
of selling their PC side of the business - in the case of Microsoft
they're stripping out the added value, bundling it as the 'Live
Essentials' with the operating system being the bare basic core to
which their web platform can be run upon.
Whilst the Linux advocates as whining and moaning over issues from
20 years ago, Microsoft would have moved forward. It is truly pathetic
to watch but provides much entertainment.
