We Windows developers are legion.
With .Net 3 WPF, WCF, DirectX10, Blend, ORCAS, etc... we will be putting your virtual heads up on a spear.
Continue crying though...
Bill Gates always kept his cool and even when things when wrong, he never showed it on camera.
Steve needs to learn this so when he's asked questions like, "What do you think of the iphone?" He can answer without sounding like a panicking mental patient!
McDonalds - you revel in your dominance as you ride the coat
tails of a behemoth and act like you are 300 Spartans.
Go ahead and eat at the trough, but making crap that runs on
90% of the world's computers is still making crap and MS is
going no where but downward. Have fun waiting for MS to come
up with the "new idea" it is only coasting right now. I'm sure
you'll do fine riding inertia - Ford did that for decades, but no
one needs to admire you for it. Idiot.

Was I the only one to catch his bad use of terminology.
I thought he was a Harvard graduate.
What a clown!

This article details that the top 3 users of h-1b visa, for 2006, are Indian IT Off-shore outsourcing corporations
Infosys used 22,600
Wipro used 19,400
There isn't an american company in the top 6.
There are only ~65,000 h-1b visas per year. So if Universities and Medical institutions are wondering why they can't get Visas, it's because most of them are being used to off-shore U.S. jobs.
Quoting this BusinessWeek article
"In addition, the (h-1b) temporary visa program includes no requirement that companies in the U.S. try to hire American employees before they turn to foreign workers"
So even if you complained about your company prefering to hire a Indian workers, you wouldn't have a leg to stand on in court. And Even if you applied for a job and were the best candidate, it could "legally" be taken by a worker from Indian, and you "the american citizen" can stay on the unemployment line.

company did what, but it is obvious that pc's would not have mice
if Apple hadn't made it popular.
MS's biggest trick was to buy out all competitors or use
monopolistic practices. Okay two tricks.
Just get a Mac. It is so much nicer.
Quit while you're ahead and stop being a stupid Apple fanboy troll. Seriously, I mean ****! Quit trying to get people to argue. I am SO tired of reading MS vs Apple comments on here.
PS. - I use a Mac.
being such a fanboy by getting people here to switch.
I'm guilty of being called a fanboy myself, but being a Windows
user too, it really does make the faithful look spoiled and
uncool.
Lets face it, point blank, the article is really about Ballmer's ego,
and how hes trying to go the distance by spreading as much BS
he can in the least amount of time to see if anyone would
believe him.
Can anyone say vaporware??

- <quote>The courage to chuck the bloated, obsolete core that forms the heart of Windows. The courage to build a cutting edge OS from the ground up. The courage to tell their customers it's time to replace their 20 year old legacy apps with modern, more secure versions. And the courage --and confidence-- to win their customers all over again.</quote>Dude, do you know anything about Windows architecture? This idea that Windows is built on an ?obsolete core? is simply untrue to say the least. ? obsolete cores? don't support 256 processors. That's like saying that OSX is obsolete because it borrows from FreeBSD which, as we all know is over 40 years old.

I love Linux. I am posting this from Firefox running under Ubuntu 9.10. But you know what? This anti-MS sentiment is just silly.
