Windows "In Vista/Longhorn server, the file system (NTFS) will start supporting a new filesystem object (examples of existing filesystem objects are files, folders etc.). This new object is a symbolic link. Think of a symbolic link as a pointer to another file system object (it can be a file, folder, shortcut or another symbolic link)." More news out of Redmond: "Microsoft will add a 'Save As' function in its upcoming Microsoft Office 12 for publishing the developer's own electronic document format, XPS, another move in a competitive campaign against Adobe."

Freedom of speech, how far does it go?

Linux is the new jihad, mod it down if you want, but it is the truth. No matter how the truth hurts, it's still the truth.

Freedom of speech is what linux is supposed to be about so I find moding this post down kind of proves my point. It's overrated and so is linux.

Well, I had an opinion opposite from yours and my post got modded down as well, so should I consider that it proved my point?

You guys should study rhetorics a little more before making such easily-disproved statements.

Allow me to re-use your own words:

Microsoft is the new jihad, it cannot tolerate differing viewpoints without trying to destroy them or absorb them, mod it down if you want, but it is the truth. No matter how the truth hurts, it's still the truth.

No, wait, that's just an opinion, like your own statement. Let me correct you, then:

No matter how much you want your opinion (i.e. Linux is the new jihad) to be the truth, it's still just your opinion.

There, I fixed it for you.

Hey, someone modded down my post. Therefore, according to proforma's logic, this actually proves my point.

Isn't false logic fun?

How many people outside of Microsoft are for Microsoft and act like Zealots? Answer Not many.

How many Linux users act like pot smoking religious zealots for their OS. HINT: More than there are people that are Microsoft Zealots by far.

Thats a fact and there are many reasons for this, not in relation to anything Microsoft is doing.

It amazes me how intelligent some linux zealots are, but lack even the most basic common sense.

Freedom of speech is overrated? Or your point is? (Which would explain why it's being modded down, actually...)
