The answer is No they can't.
Do I get a bit of that 1.3 billion I just saved them?
Imagine that money given to any of the OS developers and you could imagine
some pretty nifty stuff coming our way. But in MS hands, it's hard to
imagine we will see anything that makes a difference.
Go on then you lot, if you had that money to spend on development what would
you do?
