Linux Foundation to Linux users : Respect Microsoft

[gxsaurav]

Found this on neowin

Linux needs to recognise Microsoft's leadership in some areas to better itself, Jim Zemlin, executive director for the Linux Foundation told delegates at the Linuxworld tradeshow in San Fransisco. As Linux has become a mainstream operating system, it is exiting the first stage of its life. The second stage requires a different strategy form the first one, said the Linux promotor.

Open source vendors have to recognise that Windows is here to stay and that together with Microsoft it will form a duopoly in the market for operating systems. This also requires that the Linux community respects Microsoft rather than ridicule it. "There are some things that Windows does pretty well," Zemlin said. Microsoft for instance has excelled in marketing the operating system, and has a good track record in fending off competition.

Lolz....what can I say..where is DRM DRM DRM DRM Calling Linux a movement & that Linux foundation will never call Microsoft good.

(P.S - They want Office 2007 for Mac )

For sure. They don't mind spending $$$ for marketing, ads etc. And they don't mind whether their business is ethical or not.

yes microsoft really has a greatest bussiness tat is fact. And i think Gates is the only person using only one company (microsoft) has become the richest man on earth, but other rich people like Warren buffet and others have more than one company.

[cynosure]

@din: Businesses are not ethical nowdays. M$ as well as other computer companies do everything unethical to sell their product. Dell, INtel, AMD, even OS people do it or they wont survive.

by that time you will rarely see a desktop pc

[praka123]

^there must be something "new" be there by that time.not necessarily Operating Systems.something new.i am looking on apple,OSS and others.never M$ and innovation(their innovation is fulltime fanboys here in this forum=for eg; and DRM on ur VistA! )

[cynosure]

^ You guys can never stop fighting. Even Linus and Billy wont be arguing that much.

PS: And who's invisible here?

[a_k_s_h_a_y]

both should respect each other......both try to compete instead fight simply !
rather focus on improving their products than finding out problems in other OSes
help people to implement computers well !!

i see some people saying all companies cheat......might be true...but very sad !!

and i dont care about their fights let them do whatever they want
i will any way use the stuff that is best suited for me ! even if the other is suited for rest 99% and even be far superior to it !

[ax3]

hope they dont shake hands ..............

[Gigacore]

^ lol........ Why?

[goobimama]

Microsoft: Respect. People think I'm always against MS, but I'm not. I think MS is a great company and Gates is a genius.

Is that all You see? You don't see the ease of use Windows give?

First, change your keyboard. You "space" key is not working. Or is it not supported on your Linux Distribution? :d

Let there something more innovative come.not necessarily FOSS

What if that Innovation comes from Microsoft? Will you not use it then? Windows changed the way we work on computer despite of the fact that Apple came with a working GUI before MS, just cos Windows was easier & widely available to everyone. Where was Linux in 1995 prakash?

if u feel the words are offending(BSOD in ur brain,u fanatic "idiot")-sync for a minute.if it fails press ctrl+alt+del u'll get restarted,problems solved.temp soltn.do this every time

If I don't tinker, BSOD is a thing of past.

^there must be something "new" be there by that time.not necessarily Operating Systems.something new.i am looking on apple,OSS and others.never M$ and innovation

The real future of PCs is Tablet PCs, another platform pioneered by Microsoft. So, like I said, if MS changes the way we interact with Computers in Windows 7 won't u use it? Oh wait...u will use it after KDE & GNOME copy it in a 4 years span.

rather focus on improving their products than finding out problems in other OSes
help people to implement computers well !!

Well said, now I hope others understand it too

Hmm...I wonder about your limited scope of Knowledge. Yes we all know that Windows is overpriced, but Vista Home premium is all u need for Rs 9k...what u get with it

1) Media Center, no equivalent available in Linux
2) DirectX 10 & the best PC gaming platform out there.
3) Any hardware will work.
4) You don't have to work 10 hrs just to play a DivX file
5) Microsoft Office & Collaboration tools.

3. Same here Just you need to configure
4. WHy ? So .. :S
5/ LMAO MS office is the suckiest office wizard I had ever used.. After using it from my childhood .. I mean after school.. I haven't touched that crap of code .. OOO ftw

& How good is that compared to MCE? Does it supports any TV Tuner out there? Hardware encoding? HD Content & streams for TV?

2. Lolz . Too much Hardware needed and DX10 gaming nirvana . None of the game are playable @ 30 FPS above.. and DX 10 doomed DX 11

That would be your excude for "i can't play games on Linux"

3. Same here Just you need to configure

Why? I want to work...not configure for 10 hrs. Let me know how to get my Pinnacle PCTV Stereo TV Tuner card in PCLinuxOS in 3 steps plz.

4. WHy ? So .. :S

Ease of use, ever heard about it?

5/ LMAO MS office is the suckiest office wizard I had ever used.. After using it from my childhood .. I mean after school.. I haven't touched that crap of code .. OOO ftw

Openoffice is good, if u in 1995 & using at single user PC at home only...& don't care for compatibility.

Rest Linux is ftw ~ steps ahead of windows
