Downvotes are not going to stop me from speaking my mind. It's almost as if people think that by downvoting someones opinion they can make that opinion less real or so. Not sure what is going on in their heads.
If they would engage in debate and downvote that would be the ideal I guess :)
On /. because people can choose to post 'anonymously' and only randomly get allotted mod points instead of having an infinite supply such frustration tends to be vented by some anonymous ad-hominem attack, here it's the downmod button.
Interesting how the technical facilities change peoples behaviour.
As for the subject, I wasn't joking either. Ballmers 'reign' has been a trainwreck, so far he has consistently failed to produce anything that has caused microsoft to gain lost terrain. Vista, the Zune, MSN Search (which three months after launch is stuck in the 3% reach territory).
And I'm fine with that. Now for someone to get up and give google a run for their money.
I nearly downvoted because it reads like the standard anti-MS "troll" comment. But considering the original submission it fits the theme - so I didnt :)
