Chips_B_MalroyHi all, a lot has happened since I been here last.May 11 00:46
Chips_B_Malroyis Mono really dead?May 11 00:48
Chips_B_MalroyIs Miguel now almost a homeless person?May 11 00:48
Chips_B_MalroyAnd what about SKYPE?  Will it become like hotmail, in that MS will constantly break it with Linux users?  IMHO, they will just as soon as possible.May 11 00:50
Chips_B_MalroyThere are a lot of linux users using Skype, myself included.  For a non-free app it wasn't too bad.  Could talk, chat, and video with my windows users friends and relatives.May 11 00:52
Chips_B_MalroyNow, I cannot trust this application.May 11 00:52
Chips_B_MalroyThere is Kopete and Enigma.  They are free.  Although not sure if my winders people can use that?May 11 00:53
Chips_B_MalroyOf course, Gmail chat is very good too.  And I know that windows users can use that.May 11 00:53

Chips_B_MalroySkype will just be another cash sink for them.  Not only that, if MS somehow incorporates it well within Windows, it will deliver malware.May 11 01:32

oiaohmNow when stuffed either you support the customer and install something you don't particularly like so customer is happy.May 11 13:06
abeNd-orgyea, we have a lot of accounting customers, of all the apps they use, none of them are on linux, be it server side or end user sideMay 11 13:06
oiaohmOr you let that customer go down the road to someone who would sell them complete closed source solution.May 11 13:06
oiaohmxjasonx: Open source is about giving end user support.May 11 13:07
oiaohmEven if you don't always agree.May 11 13:07
xjasonxcan you guys write the accounting software for linux?May 11 13:07
abeNd-organd vendors usually dont want to bother with developing a linux version, hell some of them can barely get their windows version to work, much less develop & properly maintain a linux versionMay 11 13:07

abeNd-orgwere not talking quickbooks for personal use here & your 1040EZ US tax form, were talking tax records for major companies & complex individualsMay 11 13:12

Rubin answeredMay 11 16:20
schestowitzdefinitively in the negative. Honeycomb on its own would not be open, because its phone functionality is very broken. Ice Cream Sandwich will take all of the Honeycomb functionality and open source it alongside code that is much more universally friendly.""May 11 16:20
