No, he's just a Microsoft drone. Microsoft won't allow thinking other than this.
Of course those of us who *are* independent thinkers are not running Microsoft systems ;-)

Uhm..k, I hope that by Win8 they've finally managed to create something that works, but I don't think companies would really enjoying waiting for 2014~2016..XP will be at least 13 years old by the next release. Oh, think they'll have a new kernel by then, btw? Or will they still run it on NT4s kernel with lots of patches like Vista does now?
Rite, now why on earth would we expect anything else than what he said, who would say: "go ahead skip our product wait for the next one so that we can lose money".
DUH
Man I wished they bought Yahoo and loaned more than what they are worth, then they would have been screwed big time. argh

Personally I believe the best course is to make use of a combination of both. Between MS not buggering up some of their Software and OpenSourcers actually making some bug-free mature products, There is hope for us all.

Hmmm, maybe I should switch over to IIS! Apache is soooo buggy and immature. When will the "OpenSourcers" ever match IIS's brilliance........ NOT!!

That's exactly the opposite of what I meant
I was referring to the tons of buggy and incomplete software in common use. Open source products are released far too soon when they are barely out of alpha. I mean Ubuntu only got proper 3G support a few months ago.
Most Open source products out of the LAMP environment requires some serious polish.
MS is the other way round, lots of polish, but flawed to begin with.

No. "Polish" implies "no flaws". Microsoft has bling, and they know how to con the market. They don't know how to write software. Remember, Bill Gates is a lawyer, not a developer (he dropped out of law school, not CompSci).

IIS really is not that bad you know. Version 5 was really buggy and suffered the worm attacks, but version 6 was so much better. I haven't used 7 yet, so can't comment on it.
While I'm not bashing open source, as I use and enjoy some open source products, there's nothing wrong with using Microsoft products. IIS has slowly actually been gaining market share, with more people realising that it's not a bad product at all.

It's not really all that good either. Whether or not there is something wrong with using a specific product is a very subjective matter, but with relation to performance and track record in terms of stability and such, I'm fairly sure that Apache HTTPd beats IIS hands down, perhaps even with its hands tied. As to the flexibility of IIS on a scale as I've personally used Apache HTTPd, I can't comment, because I didn't have the few million Rand lying around to get enough licenses for doing so
