I'm not a fan of Microsoft.Well, I would like to say that I really hate Microsoft!Why, ayo.... too long to tell you here!Anyway it seems (well it's confirmed) that they are struggling to remain alive.Their profit drop under the lost limit point.30% of their best developers ran away recently.VISTA is the biggest flop ever seen and it's much worst than any other operating system of last 10 years!

[quote from: Raja Petra Kamarudin]I crawled out off bed Wednesday morning with a heavy hangover. No, I did not spend the previous night boozing away. I went to bed Tuesday night coughing and wheezing and I knew I was going to wake up the next morning with a touch of flu.

50 years of racism

There aren't only bad people in this country.There are still many of them very good in heart, probably most of them.It's simply that European way to handle a business can't match with the local attitude as employee/worker and here is where all my stress comes true.So, at the bottom of my heart, there is still a little sweet feeling for this country and I take the opportunity, as usual to wish an

GMAIL behind the scenes
