“The Governments of the US and Russia need to up their game and stem the tide of child pornography leaving their virtual shores because it is putting children across the world at risk.”‘

LIke bomb Wiki? Becta & IWF should lobby to take the child porn-cams out of Brit primary schools and leave the real policing to the FBI, who it has to be aid, provides its services free of charge to the UK.

Microsoft hires no-hopers fresh out of school. They have no tech skills or they would be aware of the company and its products.

Just out of curiosity, how many “no-hopers” from Microsoft have you met?

I’ve never met anyone from Microsoft other than online, but even from reading their blogs I’ve honestly never had that impression of any them.

(The ominous-looking text in RED that Roy Schestowitz attaches to all my comments accuses me of engaging in “witch hunts”. Consider that in the context of the comments here and ask yourself if you need to be best buddies with Roy in order to avoid being branded for doing essentially the same thing)

Note: comment arrived from a witch hunter that does not even use GNU/Linux.

If that’s all they know, then most likely they’ll recommend Microsoft Technologies. I don’t really understand what you’re arguing, because aside from absurd generalizations such as “no-hopers”, we’re agreeing on the same basic principal. What I don’t agree with, however, is that there is absolutely a direct malicious intent in every instance when someone leaves Microsoft to pursue another opportunity.

C’mon, do you think anyone with any length of time at MS is going to *ever* mention or, less likely, recommend best of breed?

They seem to “recommend best of breed” in house though.

Sheesh.

So, after a number of years, with lots and lots of dogma and *zero* real-word engineering or computing experience, these lice jump to a new host and begin doing the only thing they know how: peddling MS dogma and blocking Internet technologies.

C’mon, do you think anyone with any length of time at MS is going to *ever* mention or, less likely, recommend best of breed? No. They’ll simply parrot the MS dogma they sold their soul to learn by rote.

I’d guess that most people, and we’ll just say management for the sake of argument, leave for new challenges, better pay, or whatever. Their pushing or at least the perceived pushing of Microsoft’s wares on wherever they land could very well be because that’s all they know, for better or worse.

We thought it would be interesting to see how many former Softies there are inside BECTA as it would make good business sense for Microsoft to push their ex-employees everywhere they can. Kent LEA, for example, are busy adopting everything Microsoft as fast as they can.

That’s your quote. To me you state this as a fact not for anyone to draw any conclusion other than Microsoft pushes their employees to other companies to pollute those companies.
