Wrong Again, And You're A Raging Hypocrite
You've made several statements to the effect that Linux isn't innovate or creative in its efforts, and that when Microsoft comes out and has to BUY its creativity by purchasing another product and slapping their logo on it, it just proves you're in the Micro$hill camp and are too blind to see that the Emporer is just wearing the same ratty clothing he always has.

I'm not an ABM person per se, some of the things that Microsoft has done have made great strides in the computing community, it is their tactics and work ethic in doing so that have me irritated and upset.

Yes, for the record I have both XP and Fedora Linux running at home...XP I use for gaming, Fedora for office and e-mail....but Microsoft buying two firms (anti spyware and anti virus) over the past two months just goes to show that while they are providing a reasonable service to the consumer by marketing these products, they are also showing that they cannot come up with anything original and innovative on their own because it's already been done.
