    Nothing good would come from Microsoft controlling Canonical. They
    are diametrically opposed to each other. Should Hell take over
    the management of Heaven?

    Neither MS nor Canonical rank so high. Canonical is already as evil as
    can it can be without being run by MS.

    I don't much care for either of these evil brands. I come from the era
    of the Mighty Slippery Devils Operation System from the Gates of Hell.

    I started with the Commodore 64 then the 128 and the Amiga Computer
    which was further ahead of its time than most will admit but it had
    stupid management that sent it down the tubes. So X95 in the Pentium
    single core era running Mandriva Linux until a poor business plan sent
    it into bankruptcy. Now PCLinuxOS from the same roots as Mandriva and
    Gael Duval whom Mandriva fired ASAP after Mandrake and Mandriva merged.
    If Bill Gates is a generous devil then Gael Duval is at the opposite
    end of the spectrum and he keeps trying to make Linux better but with
    M. Duval we would not have easy to use installations utilities.
    Presently on a Dell Latitude E7450.

    bliss - brought to you by the power and ease of PCLinuxOS
    the Perfect Computer Linus Operating System(for me),
    and a minor case of hypergraphia.

    I'll see your Canonical and your Microsoft, and I'll raise you one

    and Amazon just bought th company that makes Roomba the cleaning robot.
    I bet they will add a digital microphone to record the owners
    activities maybe even a camera and internet access. It will be marketed
    as the smarter Roomba and with vision and sound capability/

    Of course I am a cynic of massive proportions having read history.

    And hidden in the "agreement"* in the manual, will be an impossibly long
    and obfuscated statement that all images and sound recordings will be
    the property of Amazon and not the user.

    * It's hard to believe that anyone would actually think this is an
    agreement, considering (among other things) that agreeing requires
    knowing what's actually there.
