,----[ Quote ]
| This just arrived and appears genuine. Carphone Warehouse are (a) sending
| spam (b) to request blog spam. I suggest not dealing with them, cancelling
| existing contracts with them, and telling them why.

Officethemovie – One to keep an eye on?
,----[ Quote ]
| Having looked at the account, IMO theres certainly room for suspicion and the
| account may be of interest to people who dont like the idea of FUD being
| spread at the expense of alternative to Microsoft products.
|
| What makes me suspicious is the fact that at the time of writing this they
| follow no people.

Microsoft on Twitter! Flanakin Microwalker on Windows 7!
,----[ Quote ]
| As regulars here are aware, in between commenting on tech issues, I do like
| to challenge comments which I think need clarity at the very least. Heres
| Flanakin hes a senior development consultant for Microsoft and would like to
| tell you a few things about Windows 7:
|
| “wow… the polish on Win7 RC is absolutely beautiful… some small things are
| astoundingly better than the beta”
|
| “repaving my oldest machine with Win7 RC”
|
| and whats the spec of this old PC? Two months old is it?
|
| [...]
|
| So I decided to give Flanakin Microwalker’s site a visit.
| http://michaelflanakin.com/ heres a snippet of what he has to say there:
|
| “I’m an open source advocate, when it makes sense, and have a strong software
| engineering and architecture background.”
