A butterfly is: Pretty,soft,harmless...and useless, just like M$N. My Penguin eats butterflies.
Gecko's eat more butterflies than penguins, and they do it at a distance, apperantly from across the Atlantic and all the way to Redmond. I think one of the reasons that this BS was attempted was because OSS is seriously gaining ground in the greater EU. Now, seeing that Mandrake is has yet to gain any appreciable market ground to cause M$ to be bothered, SuSE is the next likely threat. Consider the fact that many civil departments are eyeing or changing over to Linux and M$ is losing those accounts. How to get more money in the EU market? I know put MSN access points in Loo's! If this took off I could see some fumbling and pressure market strategist at M$ thinking they could convert this to a commodity and charge for it. Hell, in the U.S. I see those late night infomercials about buying into sidewalk access points. They are being presented as the next alternative to a pay phone, with expanded "features" like VOIP, and video phoning (ya, right! all the dealers and pimps would break or spray paint the cameras - I mean every dealer/pimp wants to use a video phone to make their deals and buys - right!?). Anyway, I have a sneaking hunch that it was something along those lines. Wonder what's next? Curtis :)
