I am fed up with the annual riot-in-Seattle May Day and want to see it prevented, but as you have outlined, the roots of the rioting are difficult to pull out.

]]> Comment on Microsoft, You Finally Did It by Rick Gerdes http://thewackinator.wordpress.com/2013/02/22/microsoft-you-finally-did-it/#comment-683 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 14:36:02 +0000 http://thewackinator.wordpress.com/?p=2446#comment-683 Tim, I was a MS guy from day one. Learned BASIC on an Apple IIe but left it as soon as I understood it and didn’t look back until Grad School and Unix took over my daytime life, but nights I was still in DOS mode. Then Win95 and I got real jobs and I was a network guy with Windows and TCP/IP. Then a rocket scientist and black networks under NT. Servers, IIS, all the MS acronyms.

For the last several years I’ve been writing code that runs on MS servers, but I’m writing it on my MacBook Air, and validating the output on my iPad. Making calls on my Android Phone, and I was very tempted to just get the iPhone 5 to complete the set with my Apple TV.

You know what? My stress levels are much lower. I printed Christmas card labels in one shot without cussing for the first time ever. The things I do work the way they are supposed to. Yes I had to put MS Office on the Air for work, but I only use it to open files from co-workers who refuse to use Google Docs.

If it wasn’t for the RDP I need into MS Servers I’d probably drop all the way down to a Chromebook, but then I couldn’t play World of Warcraft, and that takes care of the last of my stress.

Don’t think ill of Microsoft, they are doing only what they think is right. Just like IBM did…

It’s not getting old that sucks, it’s the reality of it happening that sucks. Of course, we must never accept it until forced to. Great read!
