Hi,
I think you are trolling [1] the list, so, I'd suggest you stop. In case that's
not your intention, please check and verify your facts before posting. Anyways,
I still think you are trolling, tho' I'll bite just one last time.

Hi,
There is no such thing as Novell Dos.
I have worked on it, long time back.
Then, I'd recommend (just like a lot of ppl have in this thread in the linux
context), put some effort into learning a bit more about what you claim to work
on. Netware was a virtual OS running on top of DOS.
BTW, Novell is far from dead,
Courtesy LINUX.
.....aaaand so today your point is - MS killed Novell, ..ehe, no wait a sec.
actually no it didn't, because of linux, is that correct ??
so which of them is true:
a) MS killed Novell
b) MS didn't kill Novell
...or shall we just alternate each day ?? :)
Here's an interesting article on why good OSS ideas
can't be killed once they
become popular. -
IE killed Netscape, I tried it on linux last time, its
all carcus remains from MS hunt.
IE did probably helped in killing Netscape (besides the fact that Netscape drove
itself to the ground - it could have become something like firefox, but it didn't).
Anyways, fact of the matter is, you took the quote out of context (that's what
makes me believe you are trolling).
I suggested the article as a reasoning why MS can't kill bittorrent by
pushing for strict legislation against filesharing applications. You twisted it
around with a dramatic statement about the posthumous state of Netscape.
betcha talking about www.mslinux.org ....ooooh I'm
shaking with excitement all
over !! ROFL !!!! (sad thing the site hasn't been
updated in sometime, it's
always a good one to pull off on fresh-and-new linux
zealots :))
They will update it as soon as Linux becomes a threat
to them.
Ehe ...is sarcasm lost on you ?
If you aren't then, I think I speak for all of us
when I say, I eagerly await
the day M$ decides release true OSS - 'cos that'll
be the day software would be
completely liberated.
I never said anything about OSS MS Linux. If its free
, if its as good as WinXp, then its a blow to the OSS
Linux Market Share, simple as that.
Ehe ...if it ain't OSS, it ain't linux. Simple as that.
Nothing but a competing OSS product can give a blow to the Linux Market Share.
And for the umpteen time on this list I'll paste the link for ESR's excellent
essay:
http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
There is some sound advise about netiquette in there.
