"software you can't review the source-code for is like a sausage that they refuse to tell you what meat is in it. "

And you have the time to review the 44,000,000+ lines of code in Windows XP? You argument makes no practical sense. Second, are you expert enough to understand the complexity of the operating system and all of its subsystems? Ya, know, it is not written in Java. ;>

You don't know the metal in the frame of your care or engine, the metal of the aircraft you last flew in, or the pesticides used in that last green bean you ate, so why try to hammer Microsoft for not sharing their internal secrets?

Face it, you HATE Microsoft, and your efforts show your bias. You have stated in many ways that you want them out of business.

And you have the time to review the 44,000,000+ lines of code in Windows XP? You argument makes no practical sense.

It's worse than that: He expects your mom or my grandmother to review source code now as a practical test of whether an operating system is useful. What an aquamaroon.

Second, are you expert enough to understand the complexity of the operating system and all of its subsystems? Ya, know, it is not written in Java. ;>

Bingo. See above point.

You don't know the metal in the frame of your care or engine, the metal of the aircraft you last flew in, or the pesticides used in that last green bean you ate, so why try to hammer Microsoft for not sharing their internal secrets?

Please ... don't confuse him with logic. Thinking is so hard.

Face it, you HATE Microsoft, and your efforts show your bias. You have stated in many ways that you want them out of business.

Considering that he seems to post little else but an endless diatribe against MS, I might have to concur. Fear is a motivating factor.
