My understanding of why C# and Mono are bad ideas is this:

1. Standardization is not indemnification. The worst that would happen if MS breaks this so-called "promise" is that C# and .NET are not standardized anymore, which frankly doesn't even get as far as a slap of the wrist on Microsoft.

Who needs the Cloud? Why would anyone want to give up something they can do more reliably, much faster, under THEIR control (Especially in Linux.), and FOR FREE to something that can go down at any time, slower, without your control... for FEES?

And for no true benefit. None. Remote backups? Anyone responsible would do better to make backups locally on external media. That way you can access that data on YOUR terms and at any time, as opposed to attempting to convince a remote server on THEIR terms for YOUR backed up data?

Here is my favorite way to describe a computer system: Layers and lots of them. A compartmentalization of every aspect of the system. From highest level to lowest level, the layers are:

7 User
6 Peripheral
5 Interface
4 Application
3 Shell
2 Operating Environment
1 Operating System
0 Hardware

Layers 3-7 are collectively referred to as the "User System." It has more to deal with offering a way for the user to effectively get work done. It is also notable for being COMPLETELY OPTIONAL in some deployments.

Microsoft has launched yet another FUD campaign against Linux recently. This time instead of businesses or the general public, Microsoft is aiming it at Best Buy employees to spread the lies to customers.

I caught the news from this blog: http://www.geek.com/articles/geek-pick/microsoft-expertzone-training-tea...

I'll address the disinformation. The blog takes Linux's side, so I'll quote the FUD parts.

"Linux can require a lot of time to maintain. For example, Ubuntu (a version of Linux) may have hundreds of updates a month"

Well, I'll tell you right now, NFS is one handy little thing. When my Internet came back up (More on this later.) I jumped at the chance to bring myself back to my full music collection. The problem is my current hard disk is old and puny (Curse you, 500 GiBers for failing so much!) and can't hold my entire collection. But my sister's hard disk already had my music on it.

I don't like my old style of writing. So opinionated and angry. I am going to offer a new opinionated and angry writing style.
