Is that you, NAG?
souther_pride = bitty's latest alias.
No_Ax_to_Grind = bitty's favorite alias, more affectionately known as NAG.
usapride = bitty's alias yesterday.
bit byte = bitty's second favorite alias.

Exactly how many aliases do you have, NAG?

**************
It's official. MS TCO campaign is a miserable failure. Now they claim to be the masters of interoperability. The only reason MS does not interoperate with other systems is that it is MS choice not to.

Now MS is beginning to flood these forums with paid shills. They are such simpletons. The single goal is to disrupt any intelligent discussions. MS cannot allow the facts or truth to become known. I guess chairman billy forgot to tell you about all the jobs MS is sending offshore. A liar hates the truth. That would explain MS sending so many shills here. Does MS not understand the world is growing weary of the endless stream of MS sponsored studies proving MS is better? They convince nobody. Haven't the years of one failed FUD campaign after another taught MS anything? When is MS going to get a clue? How about some of you MS shills go back and tell chairman billy that if MS really wants to interoperate with everyone else then stick to the standards and stop trying to bastardize them and lock people into their mediocre offerings. MS problem is they've given us an ultimatum. Either go 100% MS or drop it. Not much of a choice as witnessed by one company, government or country after another dropping MS. MS drew the line. We just do what is best for our company, not theirs. When you (MS) threaten to lock our data into your formats and charge us a toll to access our data you give us one of the greatest incentives possible to show you the door. MS is losing customers as much to their arm twisting as they are to the excellent alternatives available now. It is, in part, MS stupidity that keeps this ball rolling. Ultimately it will be MS arrogance coupled with their stupidity that causes them to become just another 'also ran' software company, and not a very good one.

You shills need to report back to chairman billy and explain to him that the massive DOI (Denial of Intelligence) campaign he launched with MS shills is working no better than his massive TCO campaign. Tell him the 80s are gone and so is the era of newbies. Computer users are more intelligent, on the whole, than they were in the 80s and early 90s. No amount of MS sponsored FUD, paid PR pieces and soundbytes, and shills can overcome MS's greatest enemies...common sense and past experiences. We do not forget those that screw us. MS tops the list.
