Msft was bashed coz they were at the top of the game just like everything else. You only bash whoever is at the top. Part of Msft bashing is also coz its a Fad to bash them. Msft has some serious technology out there today and there's a lot of stuff they have gotten right and wrong. Trust me I should know as someone who has physically walked the corridors at Redmond. Google and Apple have screwed up big time in so many things and no one says a thing (at least not yet, until bashing Google or Apple becomes a Fad) Msft were not the only guys against opensource in the 90s. Havent you heard of Adobe, Oracle and Apple. These guys have just as bad if not worse affinity for open source. Ps. Am not pushing for IE9. Never used it in the first place. --------------------------------------- Steve O Software Developer www.sobbayi.com ==================== ----- "Frankline Chitwa" <frank.chitwa@gmail.com> wrote:
Not really, Techies only bash msft coz they bash open source for no reason. Msft are the only company who actually advocated for the extermination of opensolurce in the 90s. Right now they are after google simply because they cant stand android compe, so they have to kill android via patents, then they claimed IE had the fastest javascript engine only for a developer to prove they were using tricks., I mean, that should be beneath msft
Why should I not bash against such?

Wash, I think if nothing else, we do know what hang-ing is.
Techies wont complain about the rest because they are not msft. The popular thing is to bash msft and suffer with your open source.
LOL ... actually, you are very right. Very few of us techies would dare complain about a HANG Unix because we always want to make pple blv msft is the evil one:-)
