Don’t you think that it is funny that both Barry and I talk about buttering breakfast dishes?

That is pretty sweet.

Today, at my coffee hacienda, I ordered a croissant, and I put some jelly on it. Hell yea.

I think you have a great point, Clint. I suppose if you look at it that way, the Microsoft-Yahoo deal is somewhat justified. Thanks for the input.

I like a bunch of butter, but my favorite is butter and Parmesan cheese. Mmmm.

Yes, Linux is gaining. Yes, Apple isn’t slowing down.

But, sadly, Windows isn’t going anywhere in the next twenty years at least. It’s just too much a part of businesses and personal lives. The sheer cost for either businesses or individuals to transition all their software (legally!) is too much to justify the switch in most cases (especially businesses here specifically).

Unless all their software is on the Internet.

The Internet is the great equalizer. Google Docs is becoming better and better (Sunil and I use it all the time), Yahoo and Google Mail are increasingly powerful (you can even use GMail as a POP3 client itself!), and people are spending generally more and more time on intranets and the internet than they are on their desktop.

And that’s why Microsoft is worried: the Internet runs on more than just Windows.

Just like Nike and snowboarding…. Why do people deem it necessary to over extend and compete on every playing field?\

Spreadin it thin. I don’t know about you but I like a ton of butter on my two pieces of toast than no butter on four pieces.
