THINK OF FUTURE BETTER DAYS 

The only way to not think about money is to have a great deal of it. To get something you've never had, you must be willing to do something you've never done. Unless you believe you will not understand. www.LikeSoup.com

Wow! Just think.. 

Stop

Just think how much free software they got!

All those developers, writing and writing for hourly wages. The company fires all the developers, and they don't have to pay anything to keep using the software... for free! No royalties, no compensation. What you made, is now theirs. Hope the $10/hour was worth it!

I would love to cash in on the blood of hard-working Americans... unfortunately, I have scruples.

Hold Tight 

That's OK, just wait for the middle of January and it'll all start getting better. At least that's what people have promised for most of the last few years. Obama is going to have fun sorting this mess.

In a Downturn Free Software will Survive. Will That Other OS Survive M$'s Downfall?

Pity all the developers hired to make software that costs lots of cash. They will be out of a job when folks decide to switch to free software. Free Software has a growth rate like 50-100% per annum even in a downturn. That other stuff takes a nosedive. If Vista II flops, expect layoffs at M$...

"Hope the $10/hour was worth it!"

Something must be wrong with your figures... I was charging US$50/hr during my USA stint back in '98.
