[Tfug] MS Longhorn

[Michael Seidner]

I especvially like this part:   Large organizations will have their own
.NET servers, but everyone else will use one of Microsoft's, a service
for which you will pay a fee.

They must be kidding right??? If this doesn't tell everyone to get up
with Linux then I don't know what will...I know none of my current
customers will be subscribing to this new Microsoft plan...
