Nope...
We (the IT dept.) has forced iOS devices on every employee in the company...
...and almost everybody (except a couple of Apple haters) are very happy about it.
But we are not a MS only dungeon.
Re: Another example of why Linux fails to gain market share
Androids problem is that it is not directly compatible with any other Linux, it is the "Windows RT" of the Linux world. We do love Android but it is not the tablet Linux we all would like to have.
Ubuntu is not the leader, the leaders are RedHat, SuSE and Debian everything else is a derivative of one of those.
No we do not want to promote Ubuntu because Ubuntu is not the best solution for anything, it is not even the best UI experience.
Re: Who remembers ...
...thus he will end up with the Windoze of the Linux world.
Little correction
Is "BYOD: a bigger headache for IT bosses than Windows Metro?".
Should be: "BYOD: a bigger headache for IT bosses of Windows-only environments".
Quite understandable.
Microsoft centric IT bosses hoped that Windows 7 will be a new XP (10 year safe run).
They have not accepted the fact that there never again will be another 10 year version of Windows.
Posted in Japan still in love with the fax
In the rest of the world...
...Fax is still most popular way of sending legally binding documents, just try to ask a bank how they communicate with businesses not on the SWIFT... the answer is: by fax.
Re: Going down
OLPC is a success maybe not as a product but as a concept and TFA is a really good example of this.
The HARDWARE is the problem
As I see it the PC hardware is simply not suited for virtualization, we need Intel-based heavyweight servers which are NOT necessary DOS/Windows compatible. We need hardware supporting much more throughput than DOS/Windows compatible servers can provide. I may be wrong... but again... I may me right.

In other news...
BullShitAlliance has just reported a whopping 30% increase in downloads of pirated films in UK. Me wonder why?
GPO etc.
Group Policies are a solution for a problem that existed in Windows: the need to run with administrative rights. Now they are (mis)used for anything just because they are there.

One word
Elop. He is just on a mission for Ballmer to save Microsofts mobile platform. Thats what happened to Nokia.
First man fired for buying Microsoft
A municipality in Sweden has recently fired a man for re-buying Microsoft licenses...
The days of "No one gets fired for buying Microsoft" are finally over.
Epic Fail
IPsec probably covers all those patents and predates them by 5 years...
...and is developed by two US government organizations: NIST and NSA.
Excuse me, but isn't it a OS problem ?
In my eyes it is an OS problem, not an AV problem.
Posted in Adobe man to Apple: 'Go screw yourself'
World calling Adobe !
When will we see Photoshop for Linux ??
Until then you may go screw yourself !!
OT...
"...like ROT13 on Fidonet, mailing lists, etc."
Does ROT13 work on more developed languages (languages using more than 26 letters) than english ?
Posted in Microsoft fluffs Feds with secure cloud
Microsoft and Secure ?
Why does Microsoft and Secure in the same sentence trigger a "does not compute"-flag in my brain ?
Real world called...
I've been recently asked by one of our employees if I can get him something better than that Windows-crap he got now on his current work laptop...
...he is now running OpenSuSE. It is really only a platform for running Citrix client but so was his Windows.
I'm in a very good situation where I can give people almost anything I like as long as they can do their work. There are no real corporate policy telling me that we use Windows.
Morale from this short story is... if Windows wasn't bundled there wouldn't be only 1% Linux... there wouuld be probably 10%.
Only one in four ??
Then you don't know what you're looking for.
I'm getting what I'm looking for 7 out of 10 times on Google, and that's not porn I'm looking for (when you are looking for porn, then you are only getting 1 of 4).
Never!!!
I will never install anything from Microsoft on my Linux workstation unless it is open source... I don't trust those bastards.
Posted in Peugeot to offer in-car Wi-Fi in 2010
Real nerds got WiFi in their cars...
...we just install a UMTS WiFi router under the rear seat.
Didn't we see similiar behaviour...
...in the Stacker case many years ago.
Posted in Microsoft says US is top malware target
That's right Microsoft...
...and it is because of your poorly designed OS and your idea that running as admin is safe.
