just read that headline on a local website (dutch), who is this Robert, is he important ? (maybe the guy who did all the work for BILL)

He is one of the blogging era pionneers (I think)

OK, Marriëlle an employee from BERG Toys left the company too, lol

Hehehe.

That article was like 'webmaster gossip'

BTW who cares about Microsoft?

do you know someone?

In Microsoft you mean?

I don't

no, I mean someone who cares about MS

That's a tough question. LOL.

I guess Bill Gates cares (and none else) :)

yes and all stockholders of course...

i care because ill have to learn a different set up for a computer if microsoft fails  8) i can't see that happening though

hehe, that's from the one who eats up internet explorer lol

Unfortunately, anyone who is stuck with maintaining that junk for their company.

Whew, so glad that's not me anymore.

you're not using windows?

Yeah but internet explorer sucks lol, windows isnt that bad  >:(

yes right, most of the time the applications are very bad, Microsoft's games are cool too...

Yup, Age of Empires series are some killer games that microsoft made  8)

Yeah, I'm still on windows.  :-X

I'm just no longer part of the crazy race to be first to upgrade that I was in when I was working for a company.

yes all this RTS games from MS are really cool

Hope this year I will switch OS for ever.

Linux is not that bad anymore, and it has everything that you have in Windows (and thanks to WINE you can run Photoshop too :) )

The bad point is you loose a lot of knowledge, if you stop with windows and most companies are still using this OS

Maybe the best at this point, is to use both OS

yes absolutly right, but my first experiences with Linux was not so good :(

You need some time to see how it works, but believe me it is much better.

For personal use try an Ubuntu distro. It is very user friendly.

yes looks good how about drivers for new hardware, that was a problem a year ago...

Right now is not that big.

And there are also some tools (don't remember the name right now) that load windows drivers too :)

Plus hardware vendors now support linux more than before.

OK, I will build the next PC for the use of Linux...
