Quoted from ZD,Net Talkback Central, in response to the
news item on the release of KDE 2.2.2 desktop environment:

This a waste of time.
The same tired old back and forth about who's on top and who's
the best and who is winning.
Microsoft lost all claim on my future business when they came
up with their "registration" scheme to tie every copy of
Windows to a particular machine, rather that selling it to me.
Their attempt to tie licenses to a particular piece of hardware
is beneath contmept.
They can whistle for my business from now on.
NEVER AGAIN!
Linux can't come soon enough.
.NET is .NOT for me and never will be.
KDE is just one more nail in Microsoft's coffin from my point
view, and when that company is six feet under I wlll gleefully
dance on their grave because THEY COULD HAVE HAD IT ALL.
But they threw it away.
BYE-BYE Microsoft! You'll make a nice paragraph in "The History
of Computing" someday.
Cheers,
Frank
