I think it has to do with the crappy hotmail servers. Shame on you, Windows Live.
Personally there are purists and their are realists - the purists use GNUSense because it has absolutely zero Non-Oss in it.
But lets me real here how many people only download music in Ogg Format?
How many people only watich movies in Ogg Video?
Microsoft and Windows are here to stay and like it or not we have to deal with them, now we either do it legally or we can stick our head in the sand.
Let those who stick their head in the sand and think Linux for Geeks not for everybody should go away.
We have a good product and we need to promote it, if we have arrangements in with Microsoft to make it more compatible then I believe its a good thing.
Can Microsoft release a Linux Distro - I don't know.. Mac adopted a FreeBSD fork, could Microsoft do the same and just release a Desktop Manager like Aqua on MacOSX? Doubt it - would require so much of a rewrite of their software it would hurt their investers wallet.. So do we have anything to be worried about?
Right.
First they ignore you Then they laugh at you then they fight you then you win
And yes, the fact that Microsoft extends the contract, and that Microsoft is contributing to the Linux-kernel is the perfect sign, that the last part ("then you win") is there.
And yes, we have live with Microsoft, and Microsoft have to live with us. I wish this would working without any FUD and wars in future.
thanks
Well time to scrap Windows Email then full stop!! Why not just get your own webmail server :) All my domains have webmail if required which i use when i go on holiday because the stupid Swedish Hostel STF Tourist Company only allow unencrypted email and web if you try to https or use SSL/TLS on email it gets blocked! What is the point of giving away free WIFI when they cripple all the ports you need to work with!! -- Kind Regards Stuart Tanner Bolton Linux 24 Vincent Street Bolton BL1 4SA Tel: +44(0)1204 410474 Mob: +44(0)7868 028028 www.bolin.org.uk Distributing openSUSE in the UK Registered Linux User: 529825 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ambassadors+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-ambassadors+help@opensuse.org
