    I say good on them (microsoft), why buy a company when you can buy the people? Never made sense to me why they did that. They are spending waaayyy too much time worrying about what their detractors might think and not enough time innovating, hopefully they will get back to that. How it is that there are so many anti-capitalists here is beyond me, where does your pay check come from? They don't grow on "happy trees" you know.;P ------------

                Stephane will probably tell you that it's yet another attempt of Bill to dominate a market, crush competition, and push proprietary extensions down the consumer's throat :cool:

                I object to your making fun of him while he's not looking. If you don't agree with his views, please either reply to him or silently, anonymously, vote him a 1, or whatever and be done with it. He feels seriously about some issues and shares it with all of us. It's up to us to accept or reject it. But I don't think a ridicule in someone else's thread is in order here.

                    I already replied to him non-silently on this topic, I was sure he would pick up on the topic, and I was hoping he would take it in a good mood. And - it was just my initiali thought "Oh, Stephane will like it"...

                      You mean the big X over the IE symbol? I don't think it's "eye-hurting"...I just think it's very reflective of Stephane's character... :rolleyes:


                      I have also lived some years in Spain, and there people don't accept that you speak bad spanish. I usually compensate by speaking loud and accusing people of being stupid because they don't understand me. It usually works quite well. -jhaga on non-native languages
