When you write " Linux is moving ahead at break neck speed"...
... I worry. Microsoft might shoot itself in the foot repeatedly, but injuries to the neck are more serious.

Perhaps that break neck speed is the reason Linux has been confined to such a small portion of the market for so long. Takes awhile to recover.

Be good to see it up and about and moving spryly.


On Microsoft, to paraphrase an old joke, the one good thing about shooting one's self in the foot is how good it feels to stop.

Microsoft will learn and stop...

But can Linux ever stop failing?


Reminds me of another old joke. W. C. Fields.

You're drunk!
Yeah, and you're crazy! But I'll be sober tomorrow, and you'll be crazy for the rest of your life!


Let's hope Linux learns to fail up, at least.

Good to see you again, LU.
