More on Microsoft's effort to put XP on XO

This is SAD!

They re know for making OSes for computers with specs that wont be on the market for the next 2 years.. and now they re trying to mod one of their OSes to run on the ultimate low end high tech laptop.

Its hypocrisy, its low and ridiculous!
This is nothing more or less than sad Linux jealousy!

And lets not even consider the experience! It ll be slow and painfull. This might seem like prejudice, but by god, its based on everything they did so far! It doesnt look good! They are NOT able to write a decent OS.
And let the Only necessary argument be.. Their kernel is still One Big Enormous Blob! No modules, no whatever, no NOTHING! One piece of crap for every situation. And they re merely able to separate it for their future OSes, let alone for a specific piece of hardware. They re not going to sell!
So this OLPC version ll have the standard kernel they use on all their high end machines.
Or maybe hell froze over & all those people on that project actually succeeded in combing it all appart. Doable, but not very Microsofty.

I simply dont trust them to do or make anything worth even a penny! And I know this is a tough thing to say. I liked DOS.. VB6 was cool.. but lets be honest, these arent examples of "good" software either. Looking back at those experiences, its all one big flawed mess.. I remember DOS doing some Horible crashes. But DOS is old, so .. we can all forgive that. For old times sake even. Another example.. what about the new Office? 2007? Its not bad.. but its SO heavy. The system requirements are just too much. But thats progress apparently. That doesnt cut it for me, but .. is it worth that penny? ... well, it probably is. On the other hand, no it isnt. It has to compete with free (as in beer - I love beer, lol) And those screen thingumawhutz arent worth the €200 they expect us to pay. or is it more? So I guess.. they do sometimes make crap worth while!




Oh & I just found out why there arent oracle images with ubuntu or whatever. ... Oracle requires a specific version of redhat or unitedlinux! *sigh*
I really have a problem with software being too picky! *sigh*
