Ray Ozzie, Microsoft's chief software architect, is leaving the company. There are a couple of moments in Microsoft's long history that will be remembered as when the company changed forever. One of those is, naturally, when Bill Gates handed over the reins. The other will be the day that Ray Ozzie, Microsoft's chief software architect, leaves the building.
Yeah, but Ozzie and Bill Gates were the most important people for M$. Now that they're gone, and M$ slowly starts losing money (like the direction their stock price is already going), sooner or later M$ will go out of business and we'll all celebrate.
Of course, I'm just waiting for this situation. Apple's stock is at an all-time high, but that's just due to iPhones and iPads, not Macs. And yes, believe me: M$ is failing in pretty much every market but the PC market. Their stock is continuing to go down, even when Windoze 7 was released it was going down. And thanks to Bill Gates and Ray Ozzie leaving, just watch: Windoze 8 will probably be the worst Windoze *EVER*, possibly another ME (or even worse than that), and there goes more M$ stock. I bet you that 8 will be the *LAST* (heavily delayed) version of Windoze before M$ goes out of business.
I also am rejoicing about this: Remember Keith Curtis? Apparently, he was once a M$ employee and quit. In that article, he talks about just how much Linux is better than Windoze. Cool, huh?

The M$ employees know linux is better but are afraid to admit it because Steve baldhead would fire them.
Who knows maybe Ray Ozzie might say the same thing too in the near future that linux is better.
Yeah, I would take the M$ under Gate$ over the one under Ba££mer anyday. At least Gate$ did give plenty of money (tens of billions of dollars) back to the world. Ba££mer is just an extremist piece of crap who cares about no one but himself.
Not a fan of Gate$ either, but I have to admit $teve baldhead is more worse. He spews his hate of opensourse like a rattlesnake spews its venom. The only time he embraces opensource if it benefits the company and his pockets.
Agreed and added reputation. However, I'd say Ba££mer is more like an extremely deadly snake (A Black Mamba is a good estimate) than a rattlesnake. He causes so much harm to any competition that I'd consider him on par with the Antichrist.
Microsoft is about making money not software. If necessary they build say *nix based system (as Apple Mac OS) with VMware for backward software compatibility. With powerful computers it shouldn't be difficult.
He causes so much harm to any competition that I'd consider him on par with the Antichrist.
I didn't know that the Antichrist gave a #*?t about capitalism.
Really guys, mixing religious themes in with your already over-the-top zealotry isn't helping anyone.
