Wow! With MSFT sinking like that & APPL surging like that during the
same time interval, I guess the Monkeyboy can't blame it on the
prevailing market conditions. Any breakdown within MSFT?

Sly Steve trumps Screaming Steve any time. CFOs are historians,
successful CEOs are imaginative.

Not the subject at hand but and quite a lame straw man. Then again, with
your INFERIOR intelligence, it isn't surprising.

Just doing my noble mission. Making sure that people know the truth about
Ubuntu. I need to do this to correct the lies you spread on a daily basis
about that shitty product. If you feel that you need to spread the word
about Ubuntu, try going to another country, taking 10,000 CD's, knock on
doors and try to get people to migrate to that shitty product you love so
much.

With regards to Microsoft and their place on the financial charts, you are
just grasping at straws. Microsoft is holding it's own right now, and doing
well. At some time in the future, they will probably pass Apple. Not
worried. Maybe you should find something better to do with your time.

Three things are the main reasons MS will fail:

1. Mobile devices.

2. Cloud Computing.

3. Steve Ballmer

Where I live it's raining outside right now and I have a lot of work to
do. Got any more stupid suggestions?

Neither one of you have obviously installed Lucid Lynx. It's a game changer.

CORRECTION: It's a time waster.

Ubuntu and other INFERIOR Linux distros were written by geeks for geeks who
can't get laid.

Since MS is software and Apple is hardware what are you comparing
besides nothing.

Apple computers don't come with Apple software? Since when? They (not
me) are comparing the value of the companies and Apple is number one,
kicking MS down to number two. Do you understand now or do I have to go
slower?

Apples stock price is high cause they can sell moronic devices to iIdiots at
almost any price.
Wonder if ubuntushitsthebed will run on an iPad?
Then they sucker people with their app store where the billing never stops.
Death has a line of uDumbass coming out soon.
Look for it.

uDumbass PCs will run linux exclusively...part of the uDumbass philosophy of
seeing clients as slow witted marks.
The uDumbass Updater will secretly disable various parts of the
OS...creating uDumbass service calls.
uDumbass phone techs will all answer the phone with "Thanks for calling you
dumbass. All of our lines are busy with other valued dumbasses, please call
back on the 6th Tuesday of the month."

If you call under 100% markup, from Apple's cost 'any price',
then you're right.

Are you The Rainman or something? Raining here, too, thunderstorms; but
