Ask Microsoft's Linux Lab Manager

Microsoft Linux Lab Manager Bill Hilf has been mentioned on Slashdot before, not to mention (as you might expect) on Microsoft Watch. His latest high profile coworker, Daniel Robbins, has also gotten a bit of Slashdot attention. Got any questions for Bill he hasn't already answered elsewhere? Post them below (one per post, please). We'll send him 10 - 12 of the highest-moderated ones and post his answers next Monday.

Re:Slashdot as PR outlet for Microsoft.

And just who might the "slashdot crowd" be? IT industry decision-makers? Stop it, you're killing me.

Some of us actually work in the industry, set up and manage servers, deploy desktops, write code, make recommendations, etc. - its' not ALL about downloading as much pr0n as possible ...

Therefore, an interview with this dude makes a lot of sense for all involved, with the regrettable exception of the zealots and the posers.

Last I looked, it was Microsoft that was the poser, with bullshit announcements like their their "we're taking security seriously" campaign - for a whole month. Big. Fucking. Deal.

Or "all the wonderful new features in LongBlow" - that have been subsequently gutted.

- or the eye candy we've had for years under Linux/KDE, that Windows users are finally getting ...

Zealot? No, just someone who's abandoned Windows as not being either efficient or cost-competitive. Since when does wanting to save money and time equate with being a zealot?

Perhaps you should stick to "accidentally" leaving the plunger in the toilet and "mistakenly" sit on it and rock back and forth like the anally fixated Down's Syndrome retard that you are.

Asshole. Try to look at the FAQ, which is a sort of detail on what the creators of the site would like to see. I quote:
