Summary: Response to revisionists who blame the demise of Nokia on anything but Microsoft's cult tactics and infiltration
The comment [1] sent to us for assessment deals with topics we've covered here for many years [2][3], so equipped with credible reports -- including from high-level insiders -- we're responding to overt revisionism regarding Microsoft, Elop, and Nokia.
Towards the end we also mention how many choose to forget what Microsoft has done to the likes of Nokia, Novell and many others (even Yahoo! this past decade) and instead treat Microsoft like it's not a danger anymore. Two people recently pointed out to me a new FSF article (year's end message) that hardly mentions Microsoft at all. "That's the article with 12 mentions of Apple and one sheepish mention of Microsoft," told us one person in IRC this morning. "Still the same," he said. "FSF is basically Microsoft PR. They will bash everyone but Microsoft. Same situation with EFF. And Linux Foundation" (sponsored by Microsoft for nearly half a decade now). ⬆
"There is not the slightest suggestion that either Dr or Mrs Schestowitz did anything to invite or deserve it. They are both clearly and justifiably angered, dismayed, distressed and hurt by it."
In this part our focus returns to the main theme of this series, namely the current reappointment campaign of the EPO President, as we consider whether Campinos can still expect to enjoy the same level of support from the Portuguese political establishment as he did during the earlier stages of his career
When people say the desktop "doesn't matter" they seem to be missing the point that workplaces use desktops (or laptops) and a lot of the work gets done not on skinnerboxes but "workstations" or terminals
Garrett's expensive hearing (costing the British taxpayers about 120,000 pounds; he doesn't live here and does not pay tax here) slowed us down for a few days, but we've picked up the pace since
Portugal’s success in securing senior executive appointments at the EUIPO and the EPO is a notable example of how countries seek to strengthen their influence within European intergovernmental institutions
