  1. Comment - Sting to Perform Following XP Gala

    (Oct 24, 2001 - 9:21 PM)

    In my province Microsoft has donated millions of dollars worth of software and computers to our ancient Library systems.

    The William Gates fund is another example of Microsoft giving money to research.

    Microsoft is bring attention to the Business capital of America, at a much needed time stating at yes, New York is up and running.

    Yes this event will be great for Microsoft, but at the same time it will help the people of New York, Schools, and many other things people aren't even aware of.

    By the way.. notice how many adds for AOL 7.0 Time warner is running all over CNN's "Continued Coverage"?

  2. Comment - AOL Marshals Troops Against MS XP Offensive

    (May 7, 2001 - 2:33 AM)

    I don't really understand why people allways rally to fight against Microsoft, yet they run windows, run Office, and use IE. Its simply because there product is better than anyone else's, nobody out there has come out with something better, its that simple. They have the money, and have the best people working for them, and they build great software. Lets compare quickly.

    AOL ICQ/ AOL IM - Bloat full of features, ICQ has banners everywhere now, yes you can remove them, but im sure next versions will be even wors

    VS

    MSN Messanger - A VERY small, powerfull download. With hailstorm you will be able to send a message to anyone, on any device, get weather warnings, calander events, be told if your flights are delaayed... and at under a megabyte download... its awesome! integrates easily into Netmeeting... its great, and doesnt use up 10MB of ram like icq can get up to

    AOL Netscape 6 - Ok, if any of you use this thing, I have to laugh... I wont say anything... but RUINED!

    VS

    Internet Explorer 6 - Nice small browser, that does everthing very well, and supports all the features a web designer needs. nice interface, unlike Netscape.

    Word Processing Suites in general - Ok, they all are pretty bad, and are all trying to copy Microsoft because everyone loves Office.

    VS

    Office XP - Tight integration. This is great because i can flip to any one of there products and know what im doing... My mom, my dad, can all easily use powerpoint, frontpage, word, excel...

    Other Programming Languages - Ok, they have all fallen WAY WAY behind, and have not inovated whatsoever.. Jave will crumble in the comming year to .NET simply because .NET is sooo much better! .NET will be the greatest thing to hit computers ever. Java is incredibly slow, bloat, does not allow you to program in any language, and never really took off.

    VS

    Visual Studio .NET - Program in any language! I can use a C++ component in my VB application! I can get a Cobol programmer to create a component and use it in my C# application! And my program can load seamlisly on a web browser, on a cell phone, on my desktop... no problem... People are in for a suprise!

    In conclusion.. Microsoft may be big and powerfull, people tend to get upset at this... but they are big and powerfull simply because they have greate software! Hey if AOL makes something better... then ill jump abored... but you know what, just like what they did to ICQ, and Netscape... ITS NOT GONNA HAPPEN! :) I cant wait to use Windows XP... log into my computer anywhere.. use my files in any location... use my cell phone to check my email at home... check my flights... not have to have sign ins for a million diffrent websites... just one sign in... when i sign into windows... the way it should be.... Empower people through great software... Any place, anywhere, and on any device.
