Ask Bill a question.

I still believe in liberalism today as much as I ever did, but, oh, there was a happy time when I believed in liberals.

Re: Ask Bill.
Hey Bill do you enjoy stealing ideas from Apple? Do you enjoy to watch Windows users have to update their Operating System every few days because of a new hole or a virus? Do you have pleasure when you steal people's money? Do you love the fact that your Longhorn is going to be released in 2006 with "new" technologies that Apple already have in Panther? Thanks

Re: Ask Bill.
I'd like to submit a question, but I want to think of something really good first. Maybe we should all brainstorm, and then each of us send in the same question. Then it would be a popular question and have a higher likelihood of being addressed.
Something along the lines of, "Do you have any plans to make your products not suck?" but eloquently.

Re: Ask Bill.
There won't be any "real" questions. They'll have to make it up just like they made up that Mac switcher person. They'll be totally obvious too, like "Bill, I run a small business and was wondering how I could increase my productivity, concerned customer, notSteveBallmer" "Well not, with our new productivity tools included with Microsoft Office XP you'll be able to >bullsmurf<".
Stuff like that, lots of it.

Re: Ask Bill.
What is your definition of "security"?
I dunno about Bill's definition. I personally think that the only secure computer is one that's powered-down, cast in a 6-foot by 6-foot block of concrete and stored in a locked vault surrounded by armed guards...at the bottom of the Marianas Trench.
And even then, I have my doubts.

I agree. It will be very staged. More like, "I love the ease of use of Movie Maker, how can you possibly make it better for Longhorn?" instead of "Why can't you release a stable, secure OS so that I do not have to worry about downloading patches every day?"

Re: Ask Bill.
Define Innovation without thinking of Apple. Ok, ok, too hard. hm... let's see... define Security Holes in one word.
...hint: Windows...

"Intel Inside" is not a marketing ploy, it's a warning label.

I didn't ask you.
Besides that is security, I asked about "security"
