Okay, perhaps I’m stealing from Spock (Star Trek), but it’s for a worthy cause, isn’t it?
This is my new tag phrase! I came up with it when I was sending a comment to Stu over at WServerNews.
The article reports the results of the SunPoll regarding the statements made by Gartner and Windows collapsing. (If your so inclined to see the results: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/sunpoll_historical.cfm?id=156)
This is the one thing I’ve always loved about the WServerNews, they aren’t afraid to report it like it is!
Sunbelt Software has a discrete Microsoft Gold Certified Partner on the bottom of their home page so we know there’s an obvious relationship! And WServerNews is a part of Sunbelt so you would think that they might be a little M$ biased. And at times they are, but you don’t bite the hand that feeds you - right? I mean a lot of Sunbelt’s software is aimed at securing M$ products! So, you would think one would err on the side of caution, and they do.
But, that doesn’t stop them from reporting on facts, alleged facts, and even offering up a valid poll that might be deemed as “anti-Microsoft.” Kudo’s Sunbelt and kudo’s to WServerNews!
Now I got off my original subject! I hate when I do that! ::DUH::
So, I wrote this short e-mail to Stu and signed it, on a whim, “Live long, Prosper, and go Open Source!”
And I thought to myself, that pretty much says how I feel lately!
I use Thunderbird for all my e-mail, Firefox for browsing, and I recently downloaded Open Office so I can delete the Office 2000 I currently have on my machine and call it a day.
We’re downloading the new Ubuntu today too. So it’s just a matter of time.
Little by little, I’m weaning myself off Microsoft.
Oh! And I also downloaded the programming information to learn how to program for Open Office!
In short, I’m joining the Open Source community and I’m going to be teaching you how to move from Microsoft dependency to Open Source compatible options.
So, “Live Long, Prosper, and go Open Source!“
