Read about that somewhere - sounds a bit ambitious. Should they just do what they're supposed to? (Shut down? :D) That home of the future… sounds familiar.

Symantec just put out a list of most secure OSs... and Microsoft Windows came first. Hrm. http://www.internetnews.com/security/article.php/3667201 You guys beat OS X as well... bad day for me.

From what I hear, Microsoft is an excellent employer. Kind of like the Simpsons episode where Homer gets a job with a James Bond super-villain :) Check the comments on /. - Symantec are not a much loved or trusted company and the test may be a wee bit skewed (as in Windows is and OS but the Linux distros include IM clients, office, etc etc).

I think it has, and I've got a feeling that the underlying point of this trip is to put us in a good position for a job at MS in the future... If so, I would be like the PM: when she came for her interview with the IE team she used Firefox and Linux, and I believe she still does :D She also told the IE team that IE was less than great, but that's another story. Did you know that its development team was disbanded for four years? Anyway, if I were ever to work at Microsoft, I would not abandon the Open Source philosophies, software and Linux - they are too close to my heart to be replaced ;) They are, effectively, part of my character: heck, I've already made a small name for myself among the presenters as "the Linux user" :D</p> <p>Daryl - Yes, as Ray said, the results are always distorted because most Linux distributions bring far more than Windows Vista out of the box and as such are considered to be more vulnerable overall. These statistics are hardly comparable, which is why Symantec do not have a great name for these reports. This reminds me of the report from a while back which declared that the number of Linux bugs in a certain time period was far greater than the number of Windows bugs (it was debunked by Jeremy of LQ) - why? Because the creators of the report had not only included obscure software under the 'Linux bugs' header but had also unified the bug statistics for some other UNIX-based Operating Systems and added them to Linux's (IIRC). I will dig up a link to the report if anyone has not read it and is interested.</p> <p>On a final note, Microsoft does seem like a great company to work for. All of their employees are enthusiatic and light-hearted, showing that they love their work, and being able to enjoy your work completely changes your lifestyle.</p> <p>Oh, and I'm thinking of installing Ubuntu 6.10 on this laptop and then upgrading to the new version on the 19<sup>th</sup> April.. I don't think I will survive much longer if I continue to use Vista until then :P</p> Hari - Haha!

On a final note, Microsoft does seem like a great company to work for. All of their employees are enthusiatic and light-hearted, showing that they love their work, and being able to enjoy your work completely changes your lifestyle.

Oh, and I’m thinking of installing Ubuntu 6.10 on this laptop and then upgrading to the new version on the 19th April.. I don’t think I will survive much longer if I continue to use Vista until then :P

Exposure to way too many rednecks has left me bitter, but you don't want micro$haft to kidnap you... Anyhow, enjoy your stay in America, and be sure not to look anyone in the eye. :D Note:Born 'n' raised here, so I don't mean to offend anyone.
