Story: Ballmer's bullish outlook

Dear reader,

Fact: There's not even 1 version of ms-wares to be considered safe enough to use on the WWWeb (compared to the level of security of e.g. *BSD or Linux).
If one connects any ms xp system to the WWWeb with its default, ehhh, "firewall- & security- settings" it will "collect" up to 30 (!!!) spyware-programs and more than 10 virus, worms etc. - - - within 15 minutes...!
(This is no FUD - it is a proven _fact_ !)

Fact: There's no version of ms-"systems" available without "hidden files". They store passwords, (PGP) keyphrases, WWWeb-surf-history and much more...
See: http://www.fuckmicrosoft.com/content/ms-hidden-files.shtml
(Who _needs_ spyware anyway - when it is a build-in "ms-feature"... ;-) )

Fact: The "Longhorn" project has been announced (for years), but _still_ nobody knows when (if at all) it will be released.
(Vaporware by ms? I think it is. Typical ms-PR... It wouldn't be the first time - it's not gonna be the last...)

Fact: Many so called "new" ms products are not new at all - they are (as reversed engineering proves) the same old stuff in new wrappings.
Of course, made incompatible for use on old versions of ms-systems. One is forced to pay over and over and over again for essentially the same stuff...

Fact: Software "made" by ms is _way_ to expansive - compared to Open-Source wares, many O.S.-wares are for free !
To "produce" (that is: to copy) software-packets is extremely _cheap_ - ms-profits are 1000 % or more...
That besides the well known ms-"vendor-lock-in" stragegy...

Fact: ms still didn't manage to provide really effective protection against virus, worms, spywares, etc... (If they _ever_ will. I don't think so...)
As everybody should realize by now...

Conclusion 1: mr.s.balmer - like ms in its entirety - is incapable producing anything usefull, exept FUD, bloated talk and pure nonsense...
(That wouldn't even fool a retarded kid...)
Conclusion 2: ms should be considered a criminal organisation, and treated as such. Buying ms-stuff is sponsoring criminals...

Free advise: Use Open_Source software & systems.
It may take some time learning to work Open_Source systems - but it is certainly worthwhile the effort !
My current (Linux-)system was downloaded completely for free - it works perfectly and proofs to be really safe too !
Not even once I had to put up with virus, worms spyware or whatever.
It does everything I want it to do and a lot more...
You are quite right: I really don't like ms - for lots of reasons !

Thank you for reading my little comment,
Grtzz, Open_Sourceror.
