Chips_B_Malroy | Robbie Bach should be canned for Xbox360. But most likely, all the problems were forced through by Gates and Ballmer | Jan 29 00:02 |

oiaohm | Yes more money than sence. | Jan 29 00:03 |
schestowitz | There was a scandal w/ him... Microsoft managed to keep it secret | Jan 29 00:03 |
schestowitz | They hired some dude from DIsney to replace him | Jan 29 00:03 |
oiaohm | Longer live span of xbox 360 directly equals less profit. | Jan 29 00:04 |

Chips_B_Malroy | Don't get me wrong, I like Bach and Ballmer, I hope MS keeps them. They are both great for the competition | Jan 29 00:04 |
schestowitz | "Lie to me, Microsoft, it turns me on... my nose grows longer" | Jan 29 00:04 |

Chips_B_Malroy | Ballmer is a used car saleman. He is the puppet that Bill put in to run the day to day operation. Bill got worried during the anti-trust trial he might have to go to jail or something, most likely, so he needed a fall guy. just in case | Jan 29 00:07 |

schestowitz | That goes a long way back | Jan 29 00:07 |

phIRCe-BNc | Title: CORRECT: Microsoft 2Q Profit Up 60% Amid Deferred Revenue - WSJ.com .::. Size~: 101.34 KB | Jan 29 00:14 |
Chips_B_Malroy | "Revenue jumped 14% to $19.02 billion. It would have been $17.3 billion in the latest quarter, excluding the deferred revenue. " | Jan 29 00:15 |
Chips_B_Malroy | so less than 14% | Jan 29 00:16 |
Chips_B_Malroy | maybe that 7% figure I had the other day, was the correct one? | Jan 29 00:16 |
Chips_B_Malroy | Bump from new Vi$ta-7even, because it suxs less than Vista | Jan 29 00:17 |

DaemonFC | so it's possible Windows 8 will be 2011 | Jan 29 00:22 |
DaemonFC | they've done this before, 98 SE, ME | Jan 29 00:23 |
DaemonFC | two releases that basically reprised Windows 98 | Jan 29 00:23 |
Chips_B_Malroy | remember Ballmer said they would never go so long without a new version again. 2 to 3 years was his targt | Jan 29 00:23 |
DaemonFC | that you really didn't need to have as long as your Windows 98 was updated | Jan 29 00:23 |
oiaohm | So they are speeding Windows produciton up | Jan 29 00:24 |
oiaohm | And slowing office production down. | Jan 29 00:24 |
oiaohm | This is going to make my networking life even more hell. | Jan 29 00:24 |
Chips_B_Malroy | new version can mean more income sometimes | Jan 29 00:24 |
DaemonFC | not realyl production, just tweaking it a little, updating the components a bit, and tossing in some new car smell | Jan 29 00:24 |
DaemonFC | like I said, they've done it before | Jan 29 00:24 |
DaemonFC | releases like that can easily be skipped | Jan 29 00:25 |
DaemonFC | they like to force upgrades by denying new components that other things depend on | Jan 29 00:26 |
DaemonFC | it didn't work as well as it usualyl does in killing off XP | Jan 29 00:26 |
Chips_B_Malroy | quote from the last link: "but Bill Koefoed, general manager of investor relations said in an interview a few minutes ago that the Street in fact was using GAAP numbers - in other words, he says “we blew the numbers out,” beating the Street at the top line by about $1.2 billion." | Jan 29 00:26 |
*oiaohm has quit (Remote closed the connection) | Jan 29 00:26 | |
Chips_B_Malroy | $1.2 billion, now subtract the 1.7 billion reheld from the last two quarters, and what do you have? | Jan 29 00:27 |
Chips_B_Malroy | maybe below expectations? | Jan 29 00:27 |
DaemonFC | a negative quarter disguised to look like their best one since the launch of XP is what they did | Jan 29 00:27 |
DaemonFC | by delaying pre-sale income | Jan 29 00:28 |
Chips_B_Malroy | its all in the math, the preception, the PR, the spin, the lies of marketing of M$ | Jan 29 00:28 |
DaemonFC | they borrowed heavily from their third quarter to bolster their fourth quarter | Jan 29 00:28 |
DaemonFC | on paper | Jan 29 00:28 |
Chips_B_Malroy | DaemonFC, yes, but I give them a small bounce out of Seven. Give the devil his due | Jan 29 00:29 |
DaemonFC | It's like if I borrowed $300 from myself this month and put it in savings and had a shitty hell of a time breaking even | Jan 29 00:29 |
DaemonFC | then next month I'm $300 ahead | Jan 29 00:29 |
Chips_B_Malroy | exactly the same thing | Jan 29 00:29 |
Chips_B_Malroy | Ballmer wants to pretent that MS is now recovered | Jan 29 00:30 |
Chips_B_Malroy | but Seven has been selling for awhile now | Jan 29 00:30 |
DaemonFC | it's not that I did better next month, it's that I put the hurt on myself this month to have a great on paper bank statement next month | Jan 29 00:30 |
DaemonFC | yes, that's a common trick in business | Jan 29 00:30 |
Chips_B_Malroy | that last link had some interesting figures on how much stock MS is buying | Jan 29 00:30 |
Chips_B_Malroy | wow | Jan 29 00:30 |
Chips_B_Malroy | they are trying to drive the stock price up is my thought | Jan 29 00:31 |
DaemonFC | Chips_B_Malroy: In business you want to cut expenses or make more sales, preferably both | Jan 29 00:31 |
DaemonFC | Microsoft isn't doing either very well | Jan 29 00:31 |
DaemonFC | Walmart does both very well, despite how evil they are | Jan 29 00:32 |
DaemonFC | they know that if they put in skylights they can turn most of the lights off and lower their electric bill | Jan 29 00:32 |
Chips_B_Malroy | DaemonFC> M$ isn't dead or dying, just wounded right now | Jan 29 00:32 |
DaemonFC | their PR department then calls it "going green" | Jan 29 00:32 |
Chips_B_Malroy | it will die, if it continues on its present path | Jan 29 00:33 |
DaemonFC | Chips_B_Malroy: One of the problems Microsoft has right now is too many middle managers | Jan 29 00:33 |
DaemonFC | I'd thin out the herd and put their salaries back into the bank if I was their upper management | Jan 29 00:33 |
Chips_B_Malroy | They can cut costs even more by moving more to India too | Jan 29 00:33 |
Chips_B_Malroy | which they will do | Jan 29 00:33 |
Chips_B_Malroy | Look at IBM, they did it | Jan 29 00:34 |
DaemonFC | company that size, it wouldn't be a stretch to axe 1,000 managers and combine job responsibilities with the ones that aren't laid off | Jan 29 00:34 |
Chips_B_Malroy | talk to an HP custermer service rep lately, yes India voip | Jan 29 00:34 |
DaemonFC | they should try to get the manager to employee ratio a little wider | Jan 29 00:34 |
Chips_B_Malroy | The only jobs here left will be Big Boxmart and McDonalds soon | Jan 29 00:35 |
DaemonFC | in business you're looking to make the next fiscal year better, never even or behind last year | Jan 29 00:35 |
DaemonFC | if you can only get it up by 0.5% do it, or you will be in trouble | Jan 29 00:35 |
DaemonFC | that's why I was always cutting hours after Christmas and throughout January | Jan 29 00:36 |
DaemonFC | last chance to impact the fiscal year before my ass was grass | Jan 29 00:36 |
Chips_B_Malroy | Still, it looks like a scam to push stock prices higher, so Bill can dump more before the bad news the rest of the year | Jan 29 00:36 |
DaemonFC | Chips_B_Malroy: I tried to be as not evil as I could about being evil | Jan 29 00:37 |
DaemonFC | some managers will take out cut hours on certain people much more harshly | Jan 29 00:37 |
DaemonFC | I tried to spread it out so that I wouldn't cut any one person more than 2 hours a week | Jan 29 00:38 |
Chips_B_Malroy | we have all been there in some management position | Jan 29 00:38 |
DaemonFC | it got to where I was stocking shelves and running cash registers sometimes | Jan 29 00:38 |
Chips_B_Malroy | I refused to lie to people | Jan 29 00:38 |
DaemonFC | jsut because I had to send that person home | Jan 29 00:38 |
DaemonFC | that's where my 60+ hours work week came from | Jan 29 00:38 |
Chips_B_Malroy | when upper management told me too (not Walmart) | Jan 29 00:39 |
DaemonFC | cause every hour I spent as an employee meant I had to make up on my job | Jan 29 00:39 |
DaemonFC | and this was just expected of me | Jan 29 00:39 |
DaemonFC | then upper managements would do a hiring freeze from January through March | Jan 29 00:40 |
DaemonFC | and they wouldn't fill any positions | Jan 29 00:40 |
DaemonFC | so I got to reassign people to try to even things out, I ended up on returns sometimes | Jan 29 00:40 |
DaemonFC | people returning their Christmas presents | Jan 29 00:41 |
DaemonFC | people tryign to return the old fat PS2 with cat hair in it that smelled like it was in a fire, stuffed into a PS2 slimline box | Jan 29 00:42 |
DaemonFC | swearing it was the one they bought | Jan 29 00:42 |
DaemonFC | box was bulging at the sides, the picture of the PS2 Slimline was on the side | Jan 29 00:43 |
DaemonFC | People like this always think YOU are the stupid one | Jan 29 00:43 |
DaemonFC | Chips_B_Malroy: If you ever want to work 60 hours a week for $32,500 a year, Walmart management | Jan 29 00:44 |
DaemonFC | go for it | Jan 29 00:44 |
DaemonFC | if you're not willing to move every 6 months, you don't even really get a raise | Jan 29 00:44 |
DaemonFC | if you do manage to get a raise every year, within about 5-6 years you may be pay capped | Jan 29 00:45 |

Chips_B_Malroy | I can convert and edit in avidemux easily, but would like a native editor | Jan 29 00:55 |
DaemonFC | nobody shares Vorbis but me so I usualyl have to go find the FLAC and do it myself | Jan 29 00:55 |
DaemonFC | I'm not going to accept a lot of the stuff I listen to in MP3 | Jan 29 00:56 |
DaemonFC | I do have a lot of MP3's from where I had to give up looking though and where I used to use them | Jan 29 00:56 |
DaemonFC | I'm trying to go back and get Vorbis files to replace them so I can delete the MP3s | Jan 29 00:57 |
DaemonFC | a lot of them go back to like the 1990s and were encoded with whatever MP3 encoder I could get my hands on | Jan 29 00:57 |
DaemonFC | so Vorbis is likely to be better at any bitrate ;) | Jan 29 00:57 |

DaemonFC | I guarantee you everyone still installs the $20,000 toilet seat from Nvidia | Jan 29 06:42 |
*Ender2070 has quit (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out)) | Jan 29 06:43 | |
Ender2070_ | daemonfc - i dont understand your problem, you claim theres no games for linux - why do you need 3d then? | Jan 29 06:54 |
DaemonFC | cause there's games for Windows and some of them can be jury rigged to run under Wine | Jan 29 06:57 |
DaemonFC | and then you need 3d | Jan 29 06:57 |
DaemonFC | FGLRX fails spectacularly in that case | Jan 29 06:57 |
DaemonFC | you might be able to play Oblivion with graphical glitches, bad framerate, peoples faces missing, on Ultra Low | Jan 29 06:58 |
DaemonFC | hell if I know whose fault that is, but it's apparently been an issue for some time so I think that everyone who works on Wine and plays games with it must be using Nvidia plus the nvidia driver | Jan 29 06:59 |
DaemonFC | nobody has marked it invalid in Wine's bugzilla, so I'm kind of thinking it's a problem on Wine's side | Jan 29 06:59 |
DaemonFC | in the end, the result is the same, I can't use my PC for something that does function on Windows | Jan 29 07:00 |
DaemonFC | that makes me a Sad Panda(R) | Jan 29 07:00 |
DaemonFC | in FOSS, the blame game is often protracted, painful to watch as a user, and then finally a year or three later, someone fixes it and all is well in that tiny corner of the universe | Jan 29 07:01 |
DaemonFC | and it's not unlike waiting for years for Microsoft to fix something that is pissing you the hell off | Jan 29 07:02 |
DaemonFC | as a user who has no programming skills whatsoever, it's every bit as bad | Jan 29 07:03 |
DaemonFC | you tell people all the good things about Linux (and there are many) and when they can't make something work, you tell them to get a degree in programming so they can make it work | Jan 29 07:04 |
DaemonFC | and to thank everyone who made that software for wasting their time after giving them the hope that it would function at least something like they led on about | Jan 29 07:05 |
DaemonFC | When will we pull out of Iraq? "When the situation is stable!" Well when will that be? "It's unclear!" | Jan 29 07:07 |
DaemonFC | it's what it reminds me of | Jan 29 07:07 |
DaemonFC | When will it do what I want? "We're about there!" When will that be? "It's tentative."........5 years later...Hey, you guys done yet or what? "It's getting there!" | Jan 29 07:09 |
DaemonFC | that's why portable programs are awesome, even if they fail miserably to do what you want because of underlying deficiencies in the underlying OS, you can use the same application on another OS | Jan 29 07:10 |
DaemonFC | Ender2070_: What gets me is how Stallman derides the Bush policy of "You're either with us or you're with the terrorists" and then implements that policy at the FSF | Jan 29 07:12 |
DaemonFC | Ender2070_: One thing I am very concerned about is proprietary file formats | Jan 29 07:15 |
DaemonFC | competing operating systems are one thing, but spreading proprietary files around is like blowing up bridges and poisoning wells | Jan 29 07:16 |
DaemonFC | it's not just competition, it's attempting area denial | Jan 29 07:16 |
DaemonFC | that should be fought against harder than anything else | Jan 29 07:17 |
Ender2070_ | thats so bush could label critics terrorists | Jan 29 07:30 |

*DaemonFC (n=Ryan@c-69-245-224-113.hsd1.in.comcast.net) has joined #boycottnovell | Jan 29 08:54 | |
DiabloD3 | MarcusKoze: they ship mono on the install cd | Jan 29 08:55 |
MarcusKoze | aw | Jan 29 08:56 |
DiabloD3 | and they switched to yahoo as the default firefox search engine | Jan 29 08:56 |
MarcusKoze | hm | Jan 29 08:56 |
MarcusKoze | yeh, i was wondering about this and came to 2 posibilities / explanations for this: 1) they really don't care about the phoney claims of patents suits there from the crapmeister micromoft, or; 2) they might've been corrupted in the end by ms' money ... you know, the richer they are, the more they want ... so for me, a claim that shuttleworth has gazillions doesn;t stand in this scope (corruption and so on ) | Jan 29 08:58 |
MarcusKoze | although, i currently use ubuntu (the gnome Karmic)... all mono and deps purged | Jan 29 09:00 |
MarcusKoze | yet i see too an increase in mono dependance and saddens me | Jan 29 09:00 |
MarcusKoze | i hope i've spelled everything correctly | Jan 29 09:00 |
MarcusKoze | :) | Jan 29 09:00 |
MarcusKoze | so prospecting other distros and i like the gNewSense a lot so far | Jan 29 09:01 |
MarcusKoze | if mono gets there any deeper, i'm out of it ... tried mint and after i've tried to remove the mono pile, it would remove the MintMenu too, so what'd make it different from ubuntu after all :) | Jan 29 09:03 |
DaemonFC | MarcusKoze: Shuttleworth has subsidizes Ubuntu for 6 years now at a loss | Jan 29 09:24 |
DaemonFC | he's probably ready to make some money or at least break even | Jan 29 09:24 |
DaemonFC | obviously Ubuntu will be real secretive about how much money they're making off Ballmer by proxy of Yahoo | Jan 29 09:25 |
DaemonFC | even though Ubuntu is a "community project", non-profit and all that, sure yeah | Jan 29 09:26 |
DaemonFC | whatever | Jan 29 09:26 |
DaemonFC | they're as not-for-profit as Microsoft, they just haven't figured out how to make any money when there's equal or better distributions out there for free | Jan 29 09:27 |
DaemonFC | Shuttleworth subsidies are just there to buy time while they figure out how to charge money for all kinds of things | Jan 29 09:27 |
DaemonFC | Red Hat's CEO even said that there's not much money to be had off of desktop Linux, it's why Ubuntu is running at a loss, Mandriva was in bankruptcy, and Red Hat gave up and went to corporate customers who have lots of money | Jan 29 09:28 |
DaemonFC | why everyone keeps trying to make money off of something that can't make money is surreal | Jan 29 09:29 |
DaemonFC | it's like a diseased thinking process, MarcusKoze | Jan 29 09:29 |
DaemonFC | it's like that fast food restaurant building every town has where there's been 10 fast food restaurants there that closed | Jan 29 09:30 |
DaemonFC | and another one is opening up, they all think THEY will win | Jan 29 09:30 |
DaemonFC | despite the massive chain of failures, despite the fact that it may just not be a good location | Jan 29 09:31 |
DaemonFC | my guess is that the Yahoo deal isn't going to net them much money and it won't go on for more than a year or two | Jan 29 09:32 |
DaemonFC | it's not a business plan, it's a stall tactic | Jan 29 09:32 |
DaemonFC | If you're going to use Linux, use one that's not trying to figure out how to sell you shit and won't insult your intelligence like this | Jan 29 09:32 |
DaemonFC | plenty of community distros, plenty of corporate leftovers that don't need to directly make a profit to survive | Jan 29 09:33 |
DaemonFC | use one of those | Jan 29 09:33 |

DaemonFC | the offer was for $25,000 | Jan 29 09:54 |
DaemonFC | they probably want to hurry up and settle with her because their case is starting to not look so good and they don't want to be handed a loss and a precedent | Jan 29 09:55 |
DaemonFC | that's what I think is going on | Jan 29 09:55 |

DaemonFC | If you don't send us x amount of money we may send you to collections. (like it was a downtown branch of Hell or something) | Jan 29 10:01 |
DaemonFC | then you start getting letters from the downtown branch of hell saying "If you don't send us x amount of money, we may be forced to explore other options to resolve this matter" | Jan 29 10:02 |
DaemonFC | keep the "other options" threat vague enough to not break the law (Fair Credit Reporting Act) but make you think "Oh shit, here comes a lawsuit!!!" | Jan 29 10:02 |
DaemonFC | 9 times out of 10, if you don't send them so much as a dime, they just put a black mark on your credit and walk away | Jan 29 10:03 |
DaemonFC | which is just as well, because if you don't have health insurance to pay the fucking hospital, you're not likely to have the income to get a car or house loan anyway | Jan 29 10:04 |
DaemonFC | so you march down to a buy here pay here bad credit car lot and live in a shitty overpriced apartment | Jan 29 10:04 |
DaemonFC | and the chain of life goes on | Jan 29 10:04 |
DaemonFC | Bill collectors, bluffing to create the pretense that they can make your life any fucking worse than it already is | Jan 29 10:06 |
DaemonFC | :D | Jan 29 10:06 |
DaemonFC | I say, make my day! | Jan 29 10:06 |
DaemonFC | Sure you can take me to court, but you have to ask yourself a question......."Do I feel lucky?", well....do you...punk? | Jan 29 10:07 |
DaemonFC | ugggh, I keep tripping over the name of that judge in the Thomas-Rasset case | Jan 29 10:32 |
DaemonFC | same name as my ex | Jan 29 10:32 |
DaemonFC | "and she wouldn't even need to pay the labels—all cash could go to a charity benefiting musicians." | Jan 29 10:33 |

rnb | you dont know the score | Jan 29 13:07 |
rnb | trust me. | Jan 29 13:07 |
rnb | the fact that you're so sure that you DO know the score should be evidence to you that you dont | Jan 29 13:07 |
rnb | "the older you get, the less you know" | Jan 29 13:07 |
rnb | there's a reason EVERYONE agrees with that | Jan 29 13:08 |
DaemonFC | yeah, I know every child and teenager always thinks they're right | Jan 29 13:08 |
DaemonFC | as life "teaches you differently", you become an adult | Jan 29 13:08 |
DaemonFC | or maybe it just teaches you to hide under your desk more effectively | Jan 29 13:09 |
rnb | so, if you quit postponing life at community college, you wouldnt think that black people shoot ambulance workers coming to help them | Jan 29 13:09 |
DaemonFC | this has to be the only country where they are on the news doing it and everyone denies it | Jan 29 13:09 |
DaemonFC | as it's going on, on the camera, from the news helicopter | Jan 29 13:09 |
rnb | hahaha | Jan 29 13:10 |
rnb | here's another hint that everyone knows: the news lies | Jan 29 13:10 |
DaemonFC | The president could get on every news station in front of a joint session of congress, pull his pants down and moon the camera | Jan 29 13:11 |
DaemonFC | and if you talk about it, you're a racist | Jan 29 13:11 |
DaemonFC | that's how this country is | Jan 29 13:11 |
rnb | nope, that couldnt happen. | Jan 29 13:11 |
rnb | you could talk about | Jan 29 13:11 |
DaemonFC | I'm talking if it did, in front of everyone | Jan 29 13:11 |
rnb | it | Jan 29 13:11 |
DaemonFC | you'd still have people denying it | Jan 29 13:11 |
rnb | yeah, and i'm telling you... if the president pulled his pants down in front of congress and mooned the camera, | Jan 29 13:12 |
rnb | people wouldnt deny it | Jan 29 13:12 |
rnb | however, what you WILL have | Jan 29 13:12 |
DaemonFC | no preponderance of evidence will ever convince 100% of the people | Jan 29 13:12 |
rnb | is the news portraying any group of black people as dangerous thugs who should be feared and who are probably RIGHT NOW up to something completely inhuman | Jan 29 13:12 |
DaemonFC | that's why people can go out and kill someone in front of 100 witnesses and throw the murder weapon in a trash can | Jan 29 13:12 |
DaemonFC | and go free | Jan 29 13:12 |
rnb | THAT will be on the news almost every god damn day | Jan 29 13:12 |
rnb | thats in movies | Jan 29 13:13 |
rnb | in real life, prisons are filled with murderers | Jan 29 13:13 |
DaemonFC | I'm sure that under the right circumstances, I could shoot someone to death in front of 100 witnesses, throw the gun in the trash, and walk off | Jan 29 13:13 |
DaemonFC | get cleared of all charges | Jan 29 13:13 |
rnb | why am i talking to you? | Jan 29 13:13 |
DaemonFC | some fancy lawyer maybe, maybe the jury is full of idiots | Jan 29 13:13 |
DaemonFC | but it does happen | Jan 29 13:14 |
rnb | you have nothing to offer me besides continuing despair about the state of my country | Jan 29 13:14 |
DaemonFC | it's in shambles because of both the far left and the far right | Jan 29 13:14 |
rnb | you dont even know what those words mean | Jan 29 13:14 |
DaemonFC | the only disagreement they have is how best to send the country into chaos and bankruptcy | Jan 29 13:14 |
rnb | shh, shh, go back to basketweaving 101 or whatever the fuck it is you do over there | Jan 29 13:15 |
DaemonFC | there's no such thing as good government | Jan 29 13:15 |
DaemonFC | it's just a buzzword that both parties share | Jan 29 13:15 |
rnb | *yawn* | Jan 29 13:15 |
DaemonFC | the government should be there to do the very least it has to | Jan 29 13:16 |
DaemonFC | instead you have the liberals telling me what healthcare I have to buy | Jan 29 13:16 |
DaemonFC | how much electricity I can use | Jan 29 13:16 |
DaemonFC | you have the neocons blowing my money on Iraq | Jan 29 13:17 |
DaemonFC | it goes on and on | Jan 29 13:17 |
DaemonFC | fuck both of them | Jan 29 13:17 |
rnb | what does this news tell you? | Jan 29 13:17 |
rnb | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dC7Ryqlxm3s | Jan 29 13:17 |
DaemonFC | there's no constitutional basis for the government healthcare mandate | Jan 29 13:17 |
rnb | wait until the objective reporter says "thats what they all say" | Jan 29 13:17 |
DaemonFC | it'll be interesting to see this have its day in court if it gets enacted | Jan 29 13:18 |
DaemonFC | hopefully that gets struck down | Jan 29 13:18 |
rnb | anyway, go back to your bag of shitty weed and little report for your creative writing class | Jan 29 13:19 |
rnb | it is literally the MOST IMPORTANT THING GOING ON THE WORLD TODAY. | Jan 29 13:19 |
DaemonFC | rnb: Why is it that the liberals want to micro-manage every facet of an individual's existence? | Jan 29 13:20 |
rnb | i'm off to continue my nefarious schemes | Jan 29 13:20 |
DaemonFC | it's about control and taxes and rationing | Jan 29 13:20 |
DaemonFC | yeah the system now is rationing, but the government wants to control the rationing | Jan 29 13:21 |
DaemonFC | and make you pay fines and penalties for not buying into their health care denial system | Jan 29 13:21 |
DaemonFC | health care is dead after that election | Jan 29 13:22 |
DaemonFC | it looked like it might pass by the narrowest of margins at first | Jan 29 13:22 |

schestowitz | > Even if some companies stop using Microsoft Office and go to non-Free alternatives like Google Docs, that is still a win for Free Software, as long as at least some of the companies are also using FOSS alternatives such as OOo or AbiWord. | Jan 29 17:24 |
schestowitz | > Richard Stallman is exactly correct, though, in saying that there is a problem with the use of non-Free software in cloud computing. If we go from Microsoft Office to non-Free cloud apps, we will be jumping from the frying pan into the fire. The problem with non-Free cloud apps is that they own both your data and the software. At least with Microsoft Office, we can still use OOo to open the data files. | Jan 29 17:24 |
schestowitz | > But in the short term, I think we need to break the Microsoft monopoly, because that is what is really choking the growth of Free Software IMHO. | Jan 29 17:24 |

Chips_B_Malroy | Overall, I see this quarter as a failure for MS in dollar terms, once the deferral is out of the picture, it looks like a decrease to me. In fact some divisions lost, especially Xbox360 lost. Wilcox article actually shows decreased on most things. | Jan 29 21:29 |
DaemonFC | they don't like to lose, so they force themselves to put up with loss every quarter in divisions that are never going to do well | Jan 29 21:30 |

Chips_B_Malroy | What I see, if you add the deferral back into the quarters that it MS actually made the money in, is a decline every quarter, but this quarter only a smaller decline. | Jan 29 21:32 |
DaemonFC | Ballmer has complained about used video games and third party accessories repeatedly, if you have listened carefully | Jan 29 21:32 |
DaemonFC | Microsoft HATES the fact that you can buy used games for a small fraction of the price and they don't get a cut of that | Jan 29 21:32 |
DaemonFC | that's their biggest problem, so they are trying to figure out how to sell you a DRM'd download next time | Jan 29 21:32 |
DaemonFC | they're a pissed about used games as the RIAA is about used CDs going for pennies on the dollar and no cut for them | Jan 29 21:33 |
DaemonFC | they've even called used CDs "piracy" from time to time | Jan 29 21:33 |
DaemonFC | sued people trying to get a cut off used CD sales | Jan 29 21:33 |
Chips_B_Malroy | DaemonFC> sounds about right your take on it | Jan 29 21:33 |
Chips_B_Malroy | DaemonFC> remember MS stopping people selling used Windows on Ebay? | Jan 29 21:34 |
Chips_B_Malroy | sort of reinforces what u r saying | Jan 29 21:34 |
DaemonFC | I do buy used CDs exclusively, there's no reason to give the RIAA more money when there's thousands of copies of that album out there for $2 that they don't make more money on | Jan 29 21:34 |
DaemonFC | Chips_B_Malroy: Yeah, at the time there was nothing they could do about it though because pre-XP they didn't have any way of enforcing their licensing terms | Jan 29 21:35 |
DaemonFC | the law still says I can sell my copy of the software, but their DRM won't let the buyer activate it and exercise their legal rights | Jan 29 21:35 |
DaemonFC | and it's illegal to circumvent that DRM | Jan 29 21:36 |
DaemonFC | DRM is a perversion of the copyright law, not an enhancement | Jan 29 21:36 |
DaemonFC | a total perversion, an end run around fair use, but we know this already | Jan 29 21:36 |
Chips_B_Malroy | actually I am sorry I ever gave MS any money in the past | Jan 29 21:37 |
DaemonFC | Chips_B_Malroy: There's so much wiggle room in the law. Abortion is legal because of a "constitutional right to privacy". If I was a woman I could abort a baby in private, but nobody can make a copy of Windows XP. | Jan 29 21:38 |

DaemonFC | Microsoft still goes after the onesies and twosies | Jan 29 21:40 |
DaemonFC | product activation is there to stop a few lamers from making unlicensed copies | Jan 29 21:41 |
DaemonFC | If I wanted to, I could makes a million identical systems, flash the BIOS on all of them, and sell them with Windows 7 pre-loaded | Jan 29 21:41 |
DaemonFC | and they'd never be any the wiser | Jan 29 21:42 |
DaemonFC | once I know the BIOS flash works on system #1, I know it works on the next million | Jan 29 21:42 |
DaemonFC | and that's all it takes to permanently activate Windows and sell it unlicensed on a million systems | Jan 29 21:42 |
DaemonFC | so their entire product activation system is broken on a very basic and fundamental level, right down to the core | Jan 29 21:43 |

goblin_ | and also would would have been an average release in 7, now looks red hot because its so great compared to Vista. | Jan 29 22:37 |
Chips_B_Malroy | Vista or Vista SP2B(Seven) is the same, as far as most users are concerned, and more so businesses. You get it when you need to buy a new computer, there is nothing compelling about it to buy it as a stand alone box. XP was not like that. | Jan 29 22:37 |
goblin_ | performance though of Vista V 7 is vastly different....and an entrenched Windows user will be sold on that. | Jan 29 22:38 |
