Nick Gerakines — *chuckle*. Given the interfaces that i have personally both created and enforced on the public, clearly I’m guilty of this. Disclaimer: Nick’s a Feedster employee.

VxJasonxV — I’m glad you don’t have the problems that I do. I wish I didn’t have the problems that I did but I’ve now seen this repeatedly on multiple machines, multiple platforms. I’m not saying that MS should present it as fact — I just think that there’s a window here, where, if they didn’t use FUD but took the time to ask the honest questions of is it better or not on a gui front, they could attack OSS more effectively.

Paul — Thanks for the comment about OSX. This was in no means supposed to be about apple at all. Appreciated.

More in a bit.

vijucat — You likely will never get the very visible lead developers. But think of OSS developers that aren’t the lead developers as mercenaries. Mercenaries will generally work for money. And if they won’t when they’re in college, they likely will once they have real bills to pay, etc.

Michael Martine — Interesting. I’m still running Office 2K myself so I’m curious.

women — thank you for the nice comment!

Roger Jennings — I’m not an OO user so I can’t confirm or deny what you say but the comment on memory consumptions / implied leaks is certainly inline with my OSS GUI apps observations. As an ex GUI developer, I know damn well that finding / fixing memory leaks in GUI apps is annoyingly hard and time consuming.

Microsoft Future Watch — I responded on your blog.

Bieber Labs — Thank you!

Danny — I certainly hear you on the restart issue. I’ve been a violent critic of Microsoft in this regard. Right now I can’t sync my new Treo 650 because it requires me to restart my laptop and shutting down my 51 putty sessions AIN’T worth it. And, lest anything think I’ve ever been easy on MS, check out my previous blog http://radio.weblogs.com/0103807/

Martin Koose — I agree that the end user doesn’t give a camel turd whether its 5 megs or 5000 megs but they do care that things don’t crash and if apps use too much memory, even these days, they tend to crash.

Brandon Paddock — Good news on maxathon. I’ll take a look when I can.

I’ll follow up on more of the comments a bit later. Need to caffeinate.

Enough said.

Offering open source developers jobs is something to try, but keep in mind that most open source developers are either filling a hole or taking revenge on the establishment by destroying a cash flow. Working for microsoft would be a retraction of the belief that motivated open source development in the first place.

I certainly would stop writing code and switch careers before I would accept a position with a company like Microsoft based on their past anti-competitive behavior and shrinkwrapped arrogance.

I guess one reason MS “does not” hire open source developers is that open source developers (at least the very visible lead developers) can’t afford to lose face : how can you explain the volte face if till yesterday, you’ve been putting “M$ is 666″ in the code comments and on your blog and now, gasp, are an MS employee?

The other choice : of going Open Source with their own server line, is too risky: I’d just steal SQL Server 2005 code and make it better. Because I can. It’s quite possible that in the cross-pollination, the open source product actually ends up doing better.

Reporting capabilities are extremely limited and form design lacks the flexibility of Microsoft Access and other commercial desktop database platforms.

My conclusion is that the OpenOffice.org developers shipped OOo 2.0 Base long before it was ready for public consumption.

ZDNet’s George Ou reports that OOo 2.0 consumes substantially more memory and opens large word-processing and spreadsheet documents more slowly than its Microsoft Office counterparts.

Details and links are at http://oakleafblog.blogspot.com/2005/10/openoffice-20-base-matches-microsoft.html.

Scott Johnson, a cofounder of Feedster.com writes an open letter to Robert Scoble articulating his ideas on How Microsoft Can Compete Against Open Source. Interesting read and makes a lot of sense.
…

So when you suggest:

* Microsoft Desktop: It Just Works Better

I say fine, MS would have a strong position *if they could make that true*.

cheers
Martin

Joshua – I’m guessing that you’re reporting with IE7 beta 1. I have a hunch that beta 2 will be better in that area.

We all use things differently.
We all have different configurations, and thus, also have different results.
I’m sorry you’re having problems with gaim, but I’m not, and I’m happy with it.

Try using something like Opera, I’m told it has a smaller memory footprint.

If not, please use Microsoft products, or products designed for Microsoft applications.
Use whatever works best for you.

Not everyone has the same results as you, and you think Microsoft should present it as ‘fact’.
Fact for you, not for everyone else.

Useless idea. 98% of people who read this will either think, “Better than the Mac? That’s not true” or “Better than the Linux desktop? Everyone already knows that.”

What is yor goal? To sell more Windows desktops and hold off Linux? Well, Windows is already doing pretty well here, so what is the point?

If you want to help Microsoft, then you need an idea for it on the server, and there the problem is that open source often “Just Works Better”

I’m not using IE 7 so I can’t speak to it. What I can speak to is that the memory issues in Firefox are derived from memory issues in Mozilla and they’re long outstanding. Yes that’s a point — multi-platform apps are rarely as good as single platform but, usually, that’s at the UI level not something as **fundamental** as releasing memory.
