U.S. military div switching to Mac..............

[alexB]

I've seen this slander already before, quite a few times. You are very
narrow in your attempt to discredit Frank.

MS does not need to have hired hands to defend itself. You are an idiot Mr.
Indian. MS does not need Frank. Besides if the news of such a hire would
ever break out they will lose much more than they could gain because such
low life slithering scum like you would make a big news out of it on your
website.

You are a scum, Mr. Indian.

 

[alexB]

Yep, wharf rat, buy everything he owns. He is about to go short. Perhaps
this is his true motivation. He may also be one of the trial lawyers looking
for a chance to file a $M dollar lawsuit against any business in spotlight.

 

[alexB]

And what do you, wharf rat, expect from a computer? What so special do you
want to do that I possibly never thought of doing?

I am just curious. I want to take you to carpet. Come out, explain. Stop
being nebulous. Be specific! It is a fuc*king real world.

 

[alexB]

FU*CK OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS.

I am much less of a Nazi than all of you combined!

|
| Wallington, a division chief in the Army's office of enterprise
| information systems, says the military is quietly working to integrate
| Macintosh computers into its systems to make them harder to hack.
| That's because fewer attacks have been designed to infiltrate Mac
| computers, and adding more Macs to the military's computer mix makes
| it tougher to destabilize a group of military computers with a single
| attack, Wallington says.
|
| now you KNOW that if the U.S. military is considering switching to
| macs M$ must be in trouble... this is truly music to my ears....
| and I hope one day they get into SERIOUS trouble, financial and
| otherwise (legal, for example), for the piece of crap they have
| released to the world and made pass for a professionally-developed
| OS.. which it definitely is NOT...
|

Note that the US Army has mandated that Vista replace Windows XP. I'm not stating when.

However, The Army is SUGGESTING the move to MACs because MACs are less of a target of
hackers and hacktevism.

The MAC computers will be made available through the Army Small Computer Program (PM-ASCP) - https://ascp.monmouth.army.mil/
a subordinate of the Program Executive Office, Enterprise Information Systems (PEO-EIS) - http://www.eis.army.mil/.

| But will the Army deserve it too? If anything will bring Mac hackers into
| view, this will.
|
| Be careful what you wish for. It could come back to bite you on the butt..
|

Yes !

Remember what the latest MAC computer OS' is based on.

| You should also note that "adding more Macs to the military's computer mix "
| does not represent a wholesale switch away from Windows but is just adding
| more other systems to the military mix. The year on year procurement of
| additional PC and server devices is huge so adding in a few more Macs is no
| big deal.

The Army has "mandated" a switch to Vista and Office 2007.
There is NO mandate on MAC computers.

| If MACS get to the user base of Windows then they will be full of swisscheese holes from
| hackers also.

That's correct !

Maya:

Your post was on-spot (albeit, exaggerated).
AlexB is "trolling".

 

[Mr. Arnold]

that's exactly right... you never know......

if enough businesses start having serious problems with Vista
(although a lot of them pay for tech-support, so they may have a bit
less to deal with than ordinary folks..) maybe enough of them will
switch... enough to put M$ out of business.. this truly would be
grand, they really do deserve it....

really?? their WHAT?? you might want to learn proper
spelling......

---------------------------------------------------------------

What are you talking about home user? Do you hulisinate like this all of the
time about evil MS? <g>

You got a dream that's not going to happen in your lifetime. You'll be dust
in your grave when and if it happens that MS falls. You might want to stop
daydreaming on something you have absolutely no control over it and daydream
on something you might have control over in your otherwise worthless life on
thins Earth.

It came on his mommy's computer, so that's the only OS he "knows about".

No one needs to discredit Frank. He does a good enough job doing that all on
his own.

MS does not need to have hired hands to defend itself.

Then why has it resorted to doing this so often? Like free software to
bloggers prepared to support Microsoft?

You are an idiot
Mr. Indian. MS does not need Frank.

Correct. Nobody needs Frank. Even Frank doesn't need Frank.

Besides if the news of such a hire
would ever break out they will lose much more than they could gain because
such low life slithering scum like you would make a big news out of it on
your website.

Microsoft has done some pretty stupid things over the years. Hiring Frank to
do anything but flip burgers would be the craziest thing *any* corporation
could do.

You are a scum, Mr. Indian.

Mr. Nazi speaking? Mr. Racist?

Cheers.

You really haven't thought through your little rant have you?
If you nightmare of Microsoft going out of business came true - what do
you think would happen to the businesses on this planet and as a direct
result country and world economy?
Well if you immediate remove Microsoft so that the 95% of PCs and millions
upon millions of servers world wide are no longer supportable or patchable
etc etc then you force every major corporation on the planet to rip out a
truly massive amount of line of business and critical infrastructure.
This would have simply unfathomable impact to those business.
This is not like some geek home user switching from Windows to some Linux
distro - this would be wholesale destruction of the IT infrastructure for
pretty much every major company on the planet. Not to mention government
systems too.

It's already happening ... one government at a time, are switching their
infrastructure away from Microsoft. It's starting at the city level, state
level and in some cases now, the national level. The more our elected
politicians wake up and smell the coffee and start becoming responsible for
maintaining secure systems and saving taxpayer money, the more and faster
the switch to Open Source will go.

Cheers.

MS' demise won't happen quickly. They'll sell off each department as
they go and they will slowly die off while Linux and other alternatives
take over.

hehehe...don't give up that day job scamming little old ladies cause you
won't earn a dime in the marketing/predicting field.

I have XP and Ubuntu on the same machine. I practically never

go over to the XP install now but when I first installed Ubuntu, I did.
Transition, Mike, the times they are a-changing and all that jazz.

MS is changing with the times. You're stick with the SOS that's been
around now for decades.
You're sick in the head and stupid to boot!

Sorry pal but you're just dreaming.

Unlike you, I actually use Vista. It is the very best OS available today.
