Re: [PLUG] Microsoft's statement about Solaris-based Hotmail (old)
|
I have been using the production version of Win2000 for @ a month now. I
can say that it is a vast improvement over either windows 98 or NT4. I
believe that the original post was just something that was seen as being
pro-something other than Microsoft from Microsoft and so possibly of some
interest to others on this list. I for one did not take it to be MS
bashing. I found it mildly interesting prior to pressing a neat key marked
'del' and thus eliminating it from my PC. I have no problem with it being
posted nor did I give it much heed. I do however find the reaction of
others to be surprisingly funny.
