You have NO idea! Those inside MickySoft, who have been willing to talk, can tell you some very interesting stories! ;) Fred -- Remember, a consumer is a customer with no choice.

Ballmer is a sad little man whose attention to his legal "rights" goes a very great deal further than his attention to the fitness for purpose of the goods he sells. He is a lawyers' nark rather than an IT expert and I beg all and sundry to turn their backs upon him and upon his works. Novell has been exceedingly foolish in getting anywhere near the bedroom with him, let alone into bed. -- Fergus Wilde Chetham's Library Long Millgate Manchester M3 1SB Tel: 0161 834 7961 Fax: 0161 839 5797 http://www.chethams.org.uk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Ballmer is a sad little man Actually, Ballmer is a rather large (say Chubby & Tall) obnoxious dangerous man with a very big mouth... he is posturing (say squirming) because Fixta isn't selling while Linux is gaining significant market position daily. What do you expect him to do? He's a blow-hard... or should I say FUD-hard... who can continue to control the world if he can continue to make the world believe his lies.
This is my favorite quote from the day: "But I don't want to eliminate in your minds the notions of risk of pricing that comes from competition with open source. We are higher priced, but we bring greater value," Ballmer added. Honestly, why doesn't he just gag everyone with a spoon...? -- Kind regards, M Harris <>< -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Ok.....I'll add mine. First, Ballmer is a "super sized" ego maniac! He has, and WILL continue to win at any cost! He is totally void of morals - they are only for other people. He's probably the worst looser I've ever come across. Fred -- Remember, a consumer is a customer with no choice.
