  1. Comment - Microsoft: Office Format War Over

    (Mar 6, 2007 - 11:21 PM)

    Format Wars? Holy Crap! Microsoft isn't compatible with itself. One version to the next. They don't want it to be they would loose revenue. Every time my company upgrades to the next version of M$ Office it breaks the Access Apps and all of the saved OLE Documents in our Work Control System. Don't tell me about their compatibility efforts there are none. When we used Word Perfect the formatting stayed backward compatible. Not the case with Word.

    If Micro$oft were allowed to continue their dominance we would be in a world of hurt. Paying royalties to the Micr$oft God to allow us to read our own documents created in their proprietary formats. No, their actions speak loud and I don't like what I see nor hear. I for one am sick of paying homage to the Micr$oft Deity.

  2. Comment - Microsoft Responds to Alleged Ballmer 'Threats' Against Linux

    (Feb 23, 2007 - 11:59 AM)

    Microsoft will have to learn to play. The most profitable company in the world can only stay that way if they become competitive.

    They've been the bully on the block for so long that they can't accept anyone else moving into the neighborhood. Companies rise and companies fall. Microsoft is no different. Microsoft has hit their peak and don't want to admit it. They don't want to tolerate competition in their game. Wake up Microsoft you're no longer the only game in town. Unless you begin making the best product in town and start competing you'll eventually end up another Wang.

    If Mr. Gates is smart he will get rid of Meat Head Ballmer and put someone in charge that doesn't spread FUD, who will try to integrate compatibility with Open Source. He can maintain his philosophy for IP but knock off the threats against competition. Open Source in particular.

    I for one am sick of their bully concept and will refuse to use their products until they become more civil in their attitude towards their competition.

    Microsoft, you'll one day meet your demise should you refuse to accept the inevitable... "Competition". Software is made better through collaboration. Open Source has proven the concept. Come on Microsoft join the real world and start playing fair.
