Thank You very much gentlemen. I just had the laugh of the day, reading this thread. If this is in any way indicative of "the lot of FUN" one might have with 7.3 - I'm in! Have a nice day :-) Jon Clausen On Sunday 30 September 2001 18:07, Ladislav Bodnar wrote:
I don't think Ballmer is capable of creating anything even remotely resembling the poetic style of a Korean Linux web page. After all, he's only got four words for you: "I LOVE THIS COMPANY!" Yeah, we all do - that's why we have given Microsoft the boot!

Not poetry, and the original poster was mistaken about this being a Babelfish translation. Ladislav was accidentally on the wrong URL, and what he really was reading was a native English page. It's just that this is a Microsoft-authored explanation of why nobody should migrate from Windows to Linux.
As you can see, their usual impeccable logic and Steve Ballmer's lucid clarity are obviously present. ;-)

If you think that the German translation is terrible, you should try some more exotic languages. Recently, I used babelfish to translate a Korean Linux web page and this is what I got:
"From, more it is hotter 2001 years the reel which is a snail linux 7.1 green onion li cu with coolly try to forget a summer at the time of of the which it is different with meaning together, the snail linux 7.1 reel li cu with opportunity, well the Korean alphabet distribution petal which becomes it will be able to use from the place where the individual and the enterprise and school others OS are necessary to come with meaning in order, it was new in the field and try to get up the wave of freshness one linux name it came. Are the snail linux 7.1 green onion with together, more people the world of freedom and challenge, and, more over the OS which is not necessary will hesitate a selection, it is a green onion which comes in toward the world of linux ~ it expects and it sees, the line carefulness su ley to everybodys it is visible. Changes and the green onion is mac gain and loss give with the rebuke and the love ~ "
I still think it's better than staring at a completely unreadable (for me) text, not least for the entertainment value. And you get to learn about green onions as well.
