Well, Microsoft some days ago announced a partnership[ with Palm and Verizon Wireless, and a Palm Treo with Windows Mobile 5.0 was born.

I think Palm did wrong.
Palm just quit competing for operative systems (OS), and apparently are now just a hardware company like HP and Dell.

After this event, I started thinking if in 2007 there will be iBooks with Windows Vista :p

What do you think about this?

I personally believe that Palm was making a good business move. With Microsoft trying to build up it's strength with Google continuing to challenge Microsoft, I believe Microsoft will be acquiring and making partnerships with numerous corporations to make sure it is well ahead of Google.

I think that eventually Linux and Microsoft will have some sort of partnership in a move to make Google less of a competitor.

If the Linux community and Microsoft join together against Google, Google won't have a chance. Personally, I think MS, Apple, and the Linux Community should all join forces in some way to make sure Google doesn't get too big.

As for MS joining forces with Palm, they did good. I can't wait to see what comes of this.

If Linux and Microsoft join together in some way, I would feel as though Linux's freeware would slowly go downhill...

Wasn't Palm putting out a line of Windows Mobile-powered PDAs in addition to those running its Palm OS?

Wow they take over everything
Yeah. They'll take over Kellogs or something next. Even cereal will be ruined!

Linux is holding their own and are going to be the ultimate OS when Microsoft die.

Lolz yeah, maybe they WILL take over cereals and make them taste like crap, just like Windows.

If it wasn't for Mac Skins, every Windows would probably be e-junk.

BUT, going back to the topic XD.

Apparently Microsoft really wants to take over every single stuff they find :p.

Although, personally I think Microsoft WILL die, just like Batesymon said. Even though it will take some time XD.

For what I'v heard, there's only been a Palm Treo confirmed with Windows Mobile 5.0.
I'm not actually sure if Palm will quit the OS market. ALthough it might be a possibility Palm will just make the wrong move and step into Microsoft, right? XD

It would be funny if they'd made mistakes in that code :P

You know, we love to hate Windows, but I couldn't imagine using any other OS as my *permanent* OS... even a nice Linux distro. Not at the moment, anyway.

OMG! Most certanly it IS real, and probably Palm will have something like

Start_InternetExplr.exe then if memory=2kb+;
GoTo crash.exe


Crash_InternetExplr.exe

Fortunately there's Mozilla for PPCs XD

I wouldn't worry about Microsoft. That company won't last more than a few more years. It's already starting to fall apart.
Dream on Kid, dream on.

Microsoft has 90%+ of all Computer related things, it has so much money that they can buy up the rest 10% as well, and it will not die in the next centurey.
