OS X Leopard will create no new jobs
,----[ Quote ]
| Researchers have discovered that Apple's new operating system,
| codenamed Leopard, will create 0 new jobs when it is launched
| early next year.
|
| This research (which was not commissioned by Apple) stands in
| sharp contrast to the findings of an industry report (commissioned
| by Microsoft) that Vista's release will create 100,000 new jobs in
| tech support and help desk positions.

Here we go again. Having illegally obtained (using corrupt and illegal
practices) a monopoly, Microsoft thinks it can commission incomplete studies
that will elude the attention and skepticism of most people.

Novell and Microsoft insist customers just love their deal
,----[ Quote ]
| More on this later when I've had a chance to digest it, but the first
| thought is that few people have claimed the deal is bad for Novell
| or Microsoft's customers. The question has been whether it is good
| for the open source movement, open source developers, or indeed
| Novell itself. Those issues do not appear to have been addressed
| by the survey.
