"Do you really want to be buying an entire operating system from somebody who just admitted they can't even produce a workable browser with all their resources?" Valdis makes the novice assumption that people consider valuations of this sort when buying the newest iteration of Microsoft products. The idea that consumers would actually consider an alternative to what is an effectively locked in platform is laughable. The suggestion that they might find such a move to be of any relevance or impact on their purchasing decision is insane. On Wed, Jan 20, 2010 at 1:00 PM, <Valdis.Kletnieks () vt edu> wrote:

It doesn't suit their image.Unfortunately, the PR doesn't work that way. Do you really want to be buying an entire operating system from somebody who just admitted they can't even produce a workable browser with all their resources? (Note this works differently in the Linux world, where the kernel crew doesn't even pretend to write browsers, and the Firefox crew *just* does browsers, and somebody else *just* does OpenOffice, and distros (for the most part) just worry about integration issues, and everybody only claims to do their little part well) _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
