- Just a silly question:
-
- Why is the January/February release of the OS/2 refresh being dubbed the
- "Borg" release? Someone's signature had something like the following:
-
- We are Microsoft.
- Unix is irrelevant.
- OS/2 is irrelevant.
- Openness is futile.
- Prepart to be assimilated.
-
- Could I conclude that the Jan/Feb release is intended to be the Starfleet
- Federation's OS/2 attack against the Microsoft Borg? Especially since
- MS intends to assimilate all forms of software into one Microsoft species?
