Sad, considering that BillyG had lightened up on that issue in past months.  It's 2002 all over again.  (http://graemlins/displeased.gif)

doesn't it say something weird about our age that Microsoft itself can't keep its own product from going down at a major technology trade show, and that the crowd finds this acceptable, even funny?

i agree, and i think this should be self evident.

until the rest of the world catches up there's little to be said.

and that goes for the communists remarks too, if they even need to be refuted, then there's something clearly wrong.

How have the public become so moronic as to cease to think for themselves? or has it always been this bad?

I'm wondering if Steve "Monkeyboy" Ballmer will say the exact thing. Steve has made peace with OSS. Microsoft even has two OSS projects themselves (one of them is GPL).
