Huh? Going where? What? I don't have my glasses on. I'm something like -7 in both eyes.

Condolences to our Egyptian friends (4 Turks died...)
We will continue to go Egypt. There is no registry-cancellattion to Egypt. God damn terrorists show our religion to the world badly.
It s clear for Islam;
"On that account: We ordained for the Children of Israel that if any one slew a person - unless it be for murder or for spreading mischief in the land - it would be as if he slew the whole people: and if any one saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of the whole people"
(Quran 5:32)
regards.

Thanks Clearday.
Now mahora, do you really think a world heading for MS dominance in every device possible is the best? MS still insist that blue be the default for every OS ,yuck. Competition is always better than monopoly. And now were stuck with MS stupid naming scemes. Now really MS couldn't think of anything better than vista. XP was a nice name and now we get something, um, silly? Weak? Well at least sound terrible.

Thanks Clearday for your sympathy. We - all humanity not just Egyptians- will prevail over this plague.

My point is simple. Imagine a sumo wrestler fighting against our olympic gold medalist Karam Gaber. What would the outcome be? Obvious of course.
Competition is good of course, yet competition for MS had a lot of time to show their strenghth. And they didn't. MS didn't come out of nowhere you know. It had so long a time to prove it was the best, and the result was the dominanace that you're complaining abou. Don't blame the best for being the best, instead ask his opponents why did't they give him hell before he proved it. At least not well enough. And the outcome? MS dominates the world to the point of saturation (90% market share), and now MS is turning to the mobile business.
You know what else adds to the power of MS? It's lead by one of the very few individual visionaries left in this world. Do you know that when Gates founded MS he was almost your age? and that he dropped out of college to do it?
MS has been on top for a long time now, and it has managed to stay on top, which is by far harder, for even a much longer time. And this is not likely to change soon, in the near future, or in the distant future.
Dominance in itself is bad, yet in MS's case it's not that bad

And you don't even have to worry monopoly that much, coz there are those who are working on it, and even ripped MS apart a couple of years ago on monopoly law suits.
But still you're right about those stupid names of renewed MS versions of products. Take Hotmail LongHorn for example. Why did they have to choose a native American name? Are they turning nationalistic all of a sudden? or do they want to develop their own tradition, like the USAF, where they have this tradidion of naming evey new military chopper after a red indian tribe?
Well may be a slump will do both MS and the competition some good

I see why Windows is prefered by PC users, I'd love to use Linux but I'll live with Windows. I'd also like to try Apple, when I have the money. MS is now dominating the PDA market and for obvious reasons. Will MS get a big share in mobile, well obviousely its going to try. But currently UIQ and Palm are the best for touchscreen based devices and S60 for non touchscreens, the reason is that they aren't resource and power hogs like windows. Windows won the PDA war through multimedia but current smartphones can stand up to Windows and actually out preform it. If UIQ3 has arabic it might even replace s60 and be the symbian wourld's weapon fighting off the MS deamon,at least to us arabs, but that's a little bit too far ahead. And SE is not the only supporter of UIQ, don't forget.
