Its true that Microsoft is bad news. Irespective of what they may do to Amiga or any other company - there presence is enough to split the user base.


Shoot me if you think I dont know what I'm talking about - I really dont care. I've just been to aparty and really stuufed things up.

publied: As stated millions of times before M$ does not have it's own ideas, they just look around and pick and choose from others to get the good pieces. As we've all seen(?), the methodology is flawed.

Darin: Until the dragon spots you catching a free ride..

Elektro: We have already passed that stage already; M$ have .net.

Housey: "...AAAND IT'S ORGANIC!"  (Quote from the cartoon Duckman)

teotwin: Writing "industry standard" in the same sentence as you write M$?! Shame on you. Everyone else seems to know the fact that M$ obeys just as many standards as they have original ideas in their products. M$ not making much money of Win?! I quote from the movie A Fish Called Wanda: "Hi, you had an IQ-test and the results came back negative." Win alone probably gain a profit way beyond my countrys GNP. They probably earn more money selling office, but it's not exactly pocketchange either. I have nothing agaist you, you just earned this one.

Anonymous: Rape this, rape that. Rape yourself. SGIs UMA is no secret and SEGA knew who they where dealing with. SEGA don't exactly get poorer by selling software for X-box. Wonder if Marvel can sue M$ for a buck of two (X-Men)? SEGA-grodor (joke on Swedish, sorry for being non-intl)

BillyBobsonsirjonny: Hehehe! Couldn't help myself. Please don't shoot me!

And to potential commenters: Don't write something like "You can't avoid M$ if you're in the software buissness". Just don't go there...
*Zap! Zap!* Ha! Take that! *Kabooom!* Hey, that\'s not fair!

It wouldn't surprise me if M$ are gonna take over Amiga Inc, if they are so impressed as Gary Peak says.

Ive just had four wisdom teeth out an hour ago so excuse me if i come accross as a little groggy.

JetRacer, you have the term industry standard and standards wrong. Standards relate to globally accepted formats, interfaces, protocols etc etc. An industry standard refers to a product that is the most widely accepted and used package in it genre. So may point still stands, Microsofts Office is the industry standard, ie in the industry standard broser etc etc. Yes the make their oun standards, but the are the industry standards.

eg, Adobe photoshop is the insustry standard image manipulation packed, but it uses its own standards.

And Hello! regarding windows not making all the money. Go do some research, first of all, i did menion at im refering to the consumern level only, where they DO get way more revenue from office and other software titles. Its a fact.

Housey: I'm just teasing.

teotwin: sorry, I was a bit sleepy when I wrote that. I thought you meant that M$ followed standards and AOS not. If I had payed attention I would have noticed that you wrote *Industry Standard(tm). And I still claim that they don't loose money lessing windows =)   I speak of experience when I say: You got my sympathy (I had a wisdom tooth surgically removed once -not a nice experience).

*Industry Standard(tm) is a M$ Trademark.    ;-)
*Zap! Zap!* Ha! Take that! *Kabooom!* Hey, that\'s not fair!

god damn, some of you folks act as though you have any insight into the way the industry works.  Please, go back to reading your books and shut up already.    

Almost as bad as ann.lu dweebs.

Very, very bizarre. Mind you, it would be nice if certain things made their way onto DE, like flash etc, to load websites properly. Maybe M$ might even learn a little about what makes good apps, instead of thinking size is everything.

If Microsoft buys out Amiga and all the rights to names tech etc. then there wil NEVER (Never= as long as Microsoft exists) be another Amiga computer. b.t.w is it a Boing Ball i saw upon the My Pictures folder in WinXP

That would be bad, if microsoft learned to make apps, instead of bad promises, they`d own the world. Because then, there would be NO resistance
