Rest assured many other programs ‘broke’, but Microsoft doesn’t care about those ‘third party’ pests; if it weren’t its own program, it would just let it be. SP1 of Vista is already guaranteed to break a lot more software and do nothing positive to compatibility (compared to RTM).

If they can’t catch up with SaaS, they want to kill it (like they did Netscape when they saw potential for Web-based applications in the mid-nineties), but it’s too late this time around,

Watch how they call their old buddy David Kirkpatrick for damage control.

He always glorifies them.

GNU/Linux is getting stronger everyday…
