How will those investments help? Oh, I know they put in some money to Apple once, but that was because if Apple went, there was no question of M$ being a monopoly. OTOH I don't remember M$ investing in Linux. Nor do I remember M$ investing in any other office suite. Sure, they invest in companies writing software, but only cause it doesn't compete in thier main market. IMHO the only reason M$ invest the money is to proverbally fatten the company up, in case M$ wants that software latter.
Are you honestly suggesting that Microsoft should be required to fund its competition? What color is the sky on your planet? For the love of all that is holy, please drop the useless commie anti-business bullshit. You don't like Microsoft. Fine, don't use their products. I use a number of Microsoft products at work, and they invariably meet the requirements dictated by the business. I use Slackware exclusively at home, and have since we were at kernel version .99 PL13, and it always does everything I need it to do. I for one, am pretty happy to see Microsoft making an honest effort to right the ship. A lot of list members need to drop the religious ranting and learn to think logically. This incessant bitching and moaning is serving no purpose other than increasing the amount of useless noise on this list, as if it were not bad enough already. -- Jonathan _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
