Microsoft rejects IBM strategy and open source 'dorks'

Have anyone noticed that MS is getting increasingly verbally aggressive? After bad mouthing IBM over the lack of precision in the On Demand moniker he starts touting MS' cloud-based services I assume that is where his head is, maybe it's the same guy that is responsible for their latest Windows on SuperComputer push.

"Cloud-based"? Aren't clouds really just....vapor?

"Cloud-based"? Aren't clouds really just....vapor?

You mean like Windows Vista has been... vaporware?

I wandered lonely as a cloud That floats on high o'er vales and hills. When all at once I saw a crowd, A host of golden daffodils; Beside the lake, beneath the trees, Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

I wandered lonely as a clod, Just gathering old rags and bottles While onward on my way I plod I saw a host of axolotls Beside the lake, beneath the trees A sight to make a man's blood freeze

Microsoft's mantra, no? Now here's Linux, and suddenly it's "only" a developer phenomenon.

Tell that to China, suckers! (-:

LOL, 'dorks' huh.

Very soon you'll experience that wonderful new "customer experience of Windows Live". Then you'll see who the real dorks are.

Steve: "Developers, developers developers..." "Where are all my developers going?" "I'm running out of people to throw #*|&&|%@ chairs at!"

Lacky: "Well, Uh, sir you see the market"

[Interupted by telephone intercom buzzer]

Steve: [presses intercom button] "YES!"

Intercom: "Sony on Line 4 Mr. B. They say they are having a problem with their customers"

Steve: "Customers! That's it, I can throw chairs at our customers!"

Lacky: "Good Idea sir!"

number6x: That could have made a nice UserFriendly comic :) .

Hey #6, did you see the video of Steve Ballmer doing "Developers, [D]evelopers [D]evelopers...", the musical?

If you find it, turn down the audio before you start playing it! [I thought I passed it on, but I cannot find the link in my emails.]

I saw the video of sweaty monkey boy doing his dance a long time ago.

Whooooooooooooooo!

Stevie B. makes Howard Dean look like a librarian.

I think you can find links to it on a lot of Mac advocacy websites. There wasn't any chair throwing in that video, but if you have ever seen it, it isn't very hard to imagine Steve Ballmer as someone with a very short fuse.

MS has been flooding the market with positive PR for themselves as of late. I don't think they can keep up the pace. Somethings got to give.

When it does, I hope Linux grabs the opportunity.

devnet: Linux has already grabbed the opportunity. Microsoft is scared of something.
