Microsoft’s software is a distant second in the server market.

This is a Seattle problem, not a public school problem.

You mean Swift 🙂

In a school, all you need is proctored web browsing. GSuite has a word processor and an equivalent to PowerPoint. I want our next desktops to be ChromeBoxes, since they are only $179/unit. Gotta love that Hamilton County $$$, and the Apple products it buys.

A rookie who used his GPS more than his eyes?

Every school I’ve worked in, excluding Agassi, used Linux-powered Chromebooks.

The Australian Senate can also be over-ridden by the Australian House of Representatives. From the Constitution of Australia-

I'm actually more of a Linux man. Smartphones, tablets, and servers. Microsoft was blown out of competition in all three.

Nope

I am saying MS- 1. Has always made subpar products 2. Only ever became successful due to monopolistic practices that they could only sustain through shady and borderline illegal business practices 3. Contributed nothing original or anything of substantive value or original to household computing 4. Is only able to stay in business due to legacy applications and all of this has bore out in every segment of computing outside of PCs, where Microsoft failed. Microsoft is not a company to be lauded, it is one to be despised; and Bill Gates is a parasite upon the world of computing.

All the other versions weren’t free; why should this one be?

How much did the upgrade to XP cost? That wasn’t free, and neither were any other previous upgrades to Windows.

So, Samsung pays Microsoft over everything other than the OS? I also did IP law as an online class.

What within a Samsung phone is generating royalties? Apple still uses Samsung as a chip contractor. Who makes $$$ off of Android itself?

Citation needed. They didn't need to give away Windows for free for the last 20 years.

Do you not remember the antitrust case against Microsoft? Also, the fact that the Zune or the Windows phone didn’t take off should show how well Microsoft’s products were received. Also, Windows 10 is free. If people liked MS Windows, it wouldn’t be free.

Were all of your social studies teachers worthless?

Of what?

Did the masses want MS Windows?

Let them eat cake.

Every time I see one of these threads I think of this-

It’s certainly not because we have a superior geographic position...

Because the idea in total is ludicrous.

As rightfully so. Who would try to scam a janitor into being an "independent contractor"? Agassi didn't employ its own cleaning staff, but the company it employed classified the janitors as employees.
