Microsoft Commits $100 Million to SUSE Linux

"...Steve Ballmer" is the one Microsoft headline I would be happy to see.

Very funny, tuxchick. By the way, at Lindependence/SFD Felton this year, we're going to host the Steve Ballmer Chair Toss event -- the winner gets prizes for hurling a chair the farthest and a certificate that says that s/he is now qualified to be CEO of Microsoft.

Gosh, I don't know how many times I read TCs comment before it stopped flying over my head.

Funny indeed.

In other humour, today, this was the opening blurb on CBC's national morning program...

(they like to start the program off with a satirical jab at some current news-story)

Quoting: Part One of The Current

It's Tuesday, July 26th.

China is shutting down three stores that were posing as Apple computer outlets.

Currently ... China had also planned on closing stores selling fake Microsoft products, but the fake outlets had better computers and more reliable software than the real Microsoft.

This is the Current.

Yup. Microsoft appears to be finally losing it's undeserved lustre in the public perception...
