Gee Maurice can I have some of the sherry you are drinking? Q currency?? Is that going to be parsed in tenth, hundredeths or 1000th's? How do rate exchange it among other countries. 1Q=1000 ERICY's?
As to your MSFT monopoly question. 90% of the desktops are using Windows, per "independent" sources. That ain't a monopoly? What choice on the desktop do you have? Apple that is even worse in the fact that they are closed source? Pullleeeezzzzeeee!! What else? OS is fine, but who has applications to run on it? That what even worse about MSFT, they control the application side by the code to developers that they release, when they release it. You think that they give IBM's Lotus division the total package? I got a bridge for sale....
Now for the latest from the great innovators of Bloat:

Microsoft today released an update to its Windows CE operating system designed to fix lingering problems with the latest versions of the software that the company has known about for months.
Dubbed ActiveSync 3.0, the new software improves the speeds at which data transfers between a computer and a device that runs with the Windows CE system. ActiveSync 3.0 is also expected to be much easier to install than its predecessors.
But the release, though touted as an advancement, is more like a repair. the version of Windows CE for handhelds with color screens, which began to hit shelves in June, and the version of CE that comes with mini-notebook-sized devices that debuted last October use an older version of ActiveSync that was relatively slow and difficult to install.
"We did release [previous Windows CE versions] with the same synchronization software that was nine months old," acknowledged Brian Shafer, marketing manager for the Windows CE group at Microsoft. "There were certain situations where it was more difficult to install and use than they [users] would have liked.
"ActiveSync wasn't ready, and the new devices were," he said in explaining why the software is coming out now.
This is the OS and the company that QCOM has decided to partner with? Titanic ring a bell? |
