    I don't think that makes me immature. I feel happy everytime I see Microsoft getting into difficulties, I think any sane human being would.

    Feeling hate and typing your hate out in all caps are two different things.

    I disagree, wars happen because of greed. Bad things in wars occur because of blind hatred.

    But moving of from the hatred side of things i'm wondering if this will be an increasing trend. More netbooks, lower prices less room for bundled software that costs.

    A: "Give me my food bitch!"
    B: "Can I have dinner now?"
    Guess which of the above will most likely result in hot sauce being added to your meal.

    Hate anything all you want, but being hateful and immature doesn't help your cause.

    Everyones profits are down, times of finacial crisis. Nothing much to see here, I have no doubt Microsoft will bounce back.
    On strike during the Oneiric cycle due to ungratefulness of Ubuntu.

    I don't hate them - I just want them to cease operations asap.

    What does this new development mean to Bill's personal fortune?

    Will Linux be kind enough to provide employment to him when MS goes bankrupt?

    He might help linux with his superior coding skills. That Blue Screen of Death is something that linux programers cant yet get to work properly and consistently while windows mastered that long time ago.

    Or even:

    C: "I'll do dinner tonight"
    'I am writing to you, knowing that you will do even more than I ask.'

    Re: Microsoft profits are down

    im going to have to chalk this one up to a mix of things. i think that the slowly forming depression where falling into has people watching there steps, and THINKING for once about what there buying, that includes what software they are investing(in every sense of the word) in. home users can't afford 400 -600 for some new version of windows, and companies have to cut costs. so, switching to ubuntu(or some other distro) is something people are final looking at in a serious way. also, ubuntu is getting REALLY AWESOME! so that helps.
