Microshaft once again decides to control Joe Public.

/me was reading slashdot....
An interesting article by an anonymous slashdotter:

Everything I have read concering MS's future plans: Palladium, Client/Server tie in, Office 11 breaking backward compatability, 3 year licensing plans, product activation - all leave me with a foreboding sense of the potential synergy for furthering Microsoft's goals of complete domination. Now this article tells about Longhorn's new filesystem being based on the the future Yukon server. And surprise it will only work with new hardware, which they want to be Palladium enabled. And all pitched to you under the rubric of Security & Efficency. For years MS has been accused of only wanting people to run MS Software. Now according to the article, 'Microsoft doesn't think computer users should have to use one program to read and write a word-processing file, another to use a spreadsheet, and a third to correspond via e-mail. Rather, the company thinks, a single program should handle it all.' One program to rule them all, one program to bind them, indeed."

I just hope they take it the point that nothing works but their stuff anymore. The more they tighten their grip, the more people slip through their fingers.

That's so true but the reason is easy , people are getting tired of the m$ monopoly and these new plans/ideas by M$ are no good from my point of view.
