This is a copy of what I’ve posted on the Daniweb forums in the JEM Report forums, and in the Semi Accurate Forums. I rather expect that in several of these places it’s likely to start a flame war – however I think it’s a valid question. This question covers Windows only. I know Microsoft […]

What would you do if Microsoft went bankrupt, and Windows became an orphan product?

Be a Martian – Part One
Caltech/NASA JPL have a new website: Be a Martian. The aim – a drum up interest in the Mars project. The problem, well read these words: This site was created under a Memorandum of Understanding between NASA/JPL-Caltech and Microsoft. Yep Silverlight. Silverblight. Silverlie. Whatever you want to call it. This was mentioned on Groklaw where […]
