Chips_B_MalroyBallmer 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 caseJan 29 00:07
schestowitzNoJan 29 00:07
schestowitzThat goes a long way backJan 29 00:07

schestowitz"There are hundreds of Microsoft millionaires (and even a few Microsoft billionaires) in the suburbs of Seattle. For the most part, these are people who no longer work for Microsoft, but still own company shares. They worked very hard for years and are now reaping the rewards of that work combined with their good luck. Most of them are proud of their careers, but a few are secretly ashamed."Jan 29 00:10

Chips_B_Malroyso less than 14%Jan 29 00:16
Chips_B_Malroymaybe that 7% figure I had the other day, was the correct one?Jan 29 00:16
Chips_B_MalroyBump from new Vi$ta-7even, because it suxs less than VistaJan 29 00:17

DaemonFCso it's possible Windows 8 will be 2011Jan 29 00:22
DaemonFCthey've done this before, 98 SE, MEJan 29 00:23
DaemonFCtwo releases that basically reprised Windows 98Jan 29 00:23
Chips_B_Malroyremember Ballmer said they would never go so long without a new version again.  2 to  3 years was his targtJan 29 00:23
DaemonFCthat you really didn't need to have as long as your Windows 98 was updatedJan 29 00:23
oiaohmSo they are speeding Windows produciton upJan 29 00:24
oiaohmAnd slowing office production down.Jan 29 00:24
oiaohmThis is going to make my networking life even more hell.Jan 29 00:24
Chips_B_Malroynew version can mean more income sometimesJan 29 00:24
DaemonFCnot realyl production, just tweaking it a little, updating the components a bit, and tossing in some new car smellJan 29 00:24
DaemonFClike I said, they've done it beforeJan 29 00:24
DaemonFCreleases like that can easily be skippedJan 29 00:25
DaemonFCthey like to force upgrades by denying new components that other things depend onJan 29 00:26
DaemonFCit didn't work as well as it usualyl does in killing off XPJan 29 00:26
Chips_B_Malroyquote 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$1.2 billion, now subtract the 1.7 billion reheld from the last two quarters, and what do you have?Jan 29 00:27
Chips_B_Malroymaybe below expectations?Jan 29 00:27
DaemonFCa negative quarter disguised to look like their best one since the launch of XP is what they didJan 29 00:27
DaemonFCby delaying pre-sale incomeJan 29 00:28
Chips_B_Malroyits all in the math, the preception, the PR, the spin, the lies of marketing of M$Jan 29 00:28
DaemonFCthey borrowed heavily from their third quarter to bolster their fourth quarterJan 29 00:28
DaemonFCon paperJan 29 00:28
Chips_B_MalroyDaemonFC, yes, but I give them a small bounce out of Seven.  Give the devil his dueJan 29 00:29
DaemonFCIt's like if I borrowed $300 from myself this month and put it in savings and had a shitty hell of a time breaking evenJan 29 00:29
DaemonFCthen next month I'm $300 aheadJan 29 00:29
Chips_B_Malroyexactly the same thingJan 29 00:29
Chips_B_MalroyBallmer wants to pretent that MS is now recoveredJan 29 00:30
Chips_B_Malroybut Seven has been selling for awhile nowJan 29 00:30
DaemonFCit's not that I did better next month, it's that I put the hurt on myself this month to have a great on paper bank statement next monthJan 29 00:30
DaemonFCyes, that's a common trick in businessJan 29 00:30
Chips_B_Malroythat last link had some interesting figures on how much stock MS is buyingJan 29 00:30
Chips_B_MalroywowJan 29 00:30
Chips_B_Malroythey are trying to drive the stock price up is my thoughtJan 29 00:31
DaemonFCChips_B_Malroy: In business you want to cut expenses or make more sales, preferably bothJan 29 00:31
DaemonFCMicrosoft isn't doing either very wellJan 29 00:31
DaemonFCWalmart does both very well, despite how evil they areJan 29 00:32
DaemonFCthey know that if they put in skylights they can turn most of the lights off and lower their electric billJan 29 00:32
Chips_B_MalroyDaemonFC> M$ isn't dead or dying, just wounded right nowJan 29 00:32
DaemonFCtheir PR department then calls it "going green"Jan 29 00:32
Chips_B_Malroyit will die, if it continues on its present pathJan 29 00:33
DaemonFCChips_B_Malroy: One of the problems Microsoft has right now is too many middle managersJan 29 00:33
DaemonFCI'd thin out the herd and put their salaries back into the bank if I was their upper managementJan 29 00:33
Chips_B_MalroyThey can cut costs even more by moving more to India tooJan 29 00:33
Chips_B_Malroywhich they will doJan 29 00:33
Chips_B_MalroyLook at IBM, they did itJan 29 00:34
DaemonFCcompany that size, it wouldn't be a stretch to axe 1,000 managers and combine job responsibilities with the ones that aren't laid offJan 29 00:34
Chips_B_Malroytalk to an HP custermer service rep lately, yes India voipJan 29 00:34
DaemonFCthey should try to get the manager to employee ratio a little widerJan 29 00:34
Chips_B_MalroyThe only jobs here left will be Big Boxmart and McDonalds soonJan 29 00:35
DaemonFCin business you're looking to make the next fiscal year better, never even or behind last yearJan 29 00:35
DaemonFCif you can only get it up by 0.5% do it, or you will be in troubleJan 29 00:35
DaemonFCthat's why I was always cutting hours after Christmas and throughout JanuaryJan 29 00:36
DaemonFClast chance to impact the fiscal year before my ass was grassJan 29 00:36
Chips_B_MalroyStill, it looks like a scam to push stock prices higher, so Bill can dump more before the bad news the rest of the yearJan 29 00:36
DaemonFCChips_B_Malroy: I tried to be as not evil as I could about being evilJan 29 00:37
DaemonFCsome managers will take out cut hours on certain people much more harshlyJan 29 00:37
DaemonFCI tried to spread it out so that I wouldn't cut any one person more than 2 hours a weekJan 29 00:38
Chips_B_Malroywe have all been there in some management positionJan 29 00:38
DaemonFCit got to where I was stocking shelves and running cash registers sometimesJan 29 00:38
Chips_B_MalroyI refused to lie to peopleJan 29 00:38
DaemonFCjsut because I had to send that person homeJan 29 00:38
DaemonFCthat's where my 60+ hours work week came fromJan 29 00:38
Chips_B_Malroywhen upper management told me too (not Walmart)Jan 29 00:39
DaemonFCcause every hour I spent as an employee meant I had to make up on my jobJan 29 00:39
DaemonFCand this was just expected of meJan 29 00:39
DaemonFCthen upper managements would do a hiring freeze from January through MarchJan 29 00:40
DaemonFCand they wouldn't fill any positionsJan 29 00:40
DaemonFCso I got to reassign people to try to even things out, I ended up on returns sometimesJan 29 00:40
DaemonFCpeople returning their Christmas presentsJan 29 00:41
DaemonFCpeople 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 boxJan 29 00:42
DaemonFCswearing it was the one they bought Jan 29 00:42
DaemonFCbox was bulging at the sides, the picture of the PS2 Slimline was on the sideJan 29 00:43
DaemonFCPeople like this always think YOU are the stupid oneJan 29 00:43
DaemonFCChips_B_Malroy: If you ever want to work 60 hours a week for $32,500 a year, Walmart managementJan 29 00:44
DaemonFCgo for itJan 29 00:44
DaemonFCif you're not willing to move every 6 months, you don't even really get a raiseJan 29 00:44
DaemonFCif you do manage to get a raise every year, within about 5-6 years you may be pay cappedJan 29 00:45

Chips_B_MalroyI can convert and edit in avidemux easily, but would like a native editorJan 29 00:55
DaemonFCnobody shares Vorbis but me so I usualyl have to go find the FLAC and do it myselfJan 29 00:55
DaemonFCI'm not going to accept a lot of the stuff I listen to in MP3Jan 29 00:56
DaemonFCI do have a lot of MP3's from where I had to give up looking though and where I used to use themJan 29 00:56
DaemonFCI'm trying to go back and get Vorbis files to replace them so I can delete the MP3sJan 29 00:57
DaemonFCa lot of them go back to like the 1990s and were encoded with whatever MP3 encoder I could get my hands onJan 29 00:57
DaemonFCso Vorbis is likely to be better at any bitrate ;)Jan 29 00:57
Chips_B_MalroyWell, the old lady says it time to go to Walmart, bye e1Jan 29 00:58

MarcusKozeyeh, 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
MarcusKozealthough, i currently use ubuntu (the gnome Karmic)... all mono and deps purgedJan 29 09:00
MarcusKozeyet i see too an increase in mono dependance and saddens me Jan 29 09:00
MarcusKozei hope i've spelled everything correctlyJan 29 09:00
MarcusKoze:)Jan 29 09:00
MarcusKozeso prospecting other distros and i like the gNewSense a lot so farJan 29 09:01
MarcusKozeif 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
DaemonFCMarcusKoze: Shuttleworth has subsidizes Ubuntu for 6 years now at a lossJan 29 09:24
DaemonFChe's probably ready to make some money or at least break evenJan 29 09:24
DaemonFCobviously Ubuntu will be real secretive about how much money they're making off Ballmer by proxy of YahooJan 29 09:25
DaemonFCeven though Ubuntu is a "community project", non-profit and all that, sure yeahJan 29 09:26
DaemonFCwhateverJan 29 09:26
DaemonFCthey'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 freeJan 29 09:27
DaemonFCShuttleworth subsidies are just there to buy time while they figure out how to charge money for all kinds of thingsJan 29 09:27
DaemonFCRed 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 moneyJan 29 09:28
DaemonFCwhy everyone keeps trying to make money off of something that can't make money is surrealJan 29 09:29
DaemonFCit's like a diseased thinking process, MarcusKozeJan 29 09:29
DaemonFCit's like that fast food restaurant building every town has where there's been 10 fast food restaurants there that closedJan 29 09:30
DaemonFCand another one is opening up, they all think THEY will winJan 29 09:30
DaemonFCdespite the massive chain of failures, despite the fact that it may just not be a good locationJan 29 09:31
DaemonFCmy 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 twoJan 29 09:32
DaemonFCit's not a business plan, it's a stall tacticJan 29 09:32
DaemonFCIf 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 thisJan 29 09:32
DaemonFCplenty of community distros, plenty of corporate leftovers that don't need to directly make a profit to surviveJan 29 09:33
DaemonFCuse one of thoseJan 29 09:33

DaemonFCthe offer was for $25,000Jan 29 09:54
DaemonFCthey 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 precedentJan 29 09:55

DaemonFCIf 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
DaemonFCthen 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
DaemonFCkeep 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
DaemonFC9 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 awayJan 29 10:03
DaemonFCwhich 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 anywayJan 29 10:04
DaemonFCso you march down to a buy here pay here bad credit car lot and live in a shitty overpriced apartmentJan 29 10:04

rnbyou dont know the scoreJan 29 13:07
rnbtrust me.Jan 29 13:07

DaemonFCno preponderance of evidence will ever convince 100% of the peopleJan 29 13:12
rnbis 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 inhumanJan 29 13:12
DaemonFCthat's why people can go out and kill someone in front of 100 witnesses and throw the murder weapon in a trash canJan 29 13:12

DaemonFCit's about control and taxes and rationingJan 29 13:20
DaemonFCyeah the system now is rationing, but the government wants to control the rationingJan 29 13:21
DaemonFCand make you pay fines and penalties for not buying into their health care denial systemJan 29 13:21

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.

Chips_B_MalroyOverall, 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

schestowitz"Well, maybe. I think one of the big reasons it won’t is because Linux users can’t agree on what version of anything is best. They all have their favorites for every aspect of computer operation, and often can’t even agree on what the desktop should look like.

Sales in the division that includes its Office software were flat, while its online services division's revenue declined 5% to $581 million from the prior year, despite the high-profile launch of the Bing search engine."Jan 29 22:24

Chips_B_MalroyAnd there you have it, Bing, 5% decline in revenue, the bottom line.  Forget all the lies of MS with their bogus USA market share for Bing, the 5% loss figure is the correct one.Jan 29 22:26

Chips_B_Malroy<goblin_> Talking of figures...has anyone questioned the 7 sales....-------I think DaemonFC and others may have touched on the fact that XP Home sales count as Seven sales.Jan 29 22:31
goblin_if you think about it, before 7 we had vista and xp...now Vista goes without saying, but when XP was released there were far few PC's in home than there are today...no-wonder MS can claim fastest selling OS for 7....Jan 29 22:32
schestowitz"I found this site reports 4.4% GNU/Linux visitors from their webloag.

schestowitzChips_B_Malroy: they cheap in # of salesJan 29 22:34
Chips_B_MalroyGoblin>  what would be more revealing is the cost that MS now gets for the average licence for OEM preinstalls.   I notice sales increase by a factor, but they looked like an increase in Netbooks and cheaper laptops to me.   So if the base price of Windows PC's is coming down still, this means MS is still having to sell cheaper licences that they make very little on.Jan 29 22:34
schestowitzThey claim 60 millionJan 29 22:34
schestowitzLike those unused ones oiaohm tells us aboutJan 29 22:34

goblin_either as a user who has experienced an alternative to an MS OS...in which case Win7 is nothing special.....Jan 29 22:35
goblin_or as a Vista user who to be fair, would find a ZX81 a fast performer compared to what they are used to.Jan 29 22:36
goblin_maybe Vista wasn't such a PR disaster.....Jan 29 22:36
goblin_a half baked release in order to push more 7 when the PC had penetrated even more of the home.Jan 29 22:36
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_MalroyVista 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
goblin_although I need to say 7 on modern specs failed to out perform 1.8ghz machine running Linux.Jan 29 22:38
Chips_B_Malroycompatability is very important too Goblin to windows usersJan 29 22:39
goblin_but then XP mode is a complete flop....Jan 29 22:39
goblin_no directXJan 29 22:39
Chips_B_MalroySeven mostly fails on thatJan 29 22:39
Chips_B_Malroybecause its VistaJan 29 22:39
goblin_it takes a 3rd party to sort out MS's backwards comp....Dosbox et al.Jan 29 22:39
goblin_Roy, you here?Jan 29 22:40
Chips_B_MalroyGoblin, maybe sometimes when you have the time, you can tell us why Seven/Vista has to have so much hard drive space?  Even XP only needed 2 gb of space, and you could cut that down to 1400 mb's by turning off system restore and giving the trash can 0%Jan 29 22:45
Chips_B_MalroyThe amount of space that Vista uses is obseaneJan 29 22:46
goblin_I wouldn't know...the machine loaned to me by a family member for me comparing 7 has been returned....Jan 29 22:46
goblin_Im nearly finished my writeup....Jan 29 22:46
Chips_B_Malroyplus they want a restore partion and many do not even get a real diskJan 29 22:46
goblin_what I like about 7 is that with a processor twice as quick, 4 gig of ram, it can't load the same packages as quick as a 1.8ghz thats over 4 years old.Jan 29 22:47
Chips_B_Malroyits criminal how bad the bloat has gotten for windows usersJan 29 22:47
goblin_running Linux of course.Jan 29 22:47
Chips_B_Malroyyes, I know, did not know if you had finished the evaluation or notJan 29 22:48
goblin_re: bloat - I remember MS asking that question on one of its blogs...."Does bloat matter?"  Their arguament was, because hardware is so cheap it doesn't matter.Jan 29 22:48
goblin_yep finished....the evaluation...Jan 29 22:49
Chips_B_MalroyOf course, MS does not care how much of their users space or cpu cycles it uses upJan 29 22:49
