What I'd really like to see is Macro$uck fall because of lies and misunderstandings. Now that would be real poetic justice. He who lives by the FUD, dies by the FUD  

Calum:
hear hear. I agree totally with that last post. If those buggers are guilty of something, hang the bastards.
If someone were to steal all your possesions, but you caught them in the act, you would challenge them. Or would you? what if they were bigger than you? Would you leave them alone because they were bigger? it would be okay for them to steal all your stuff if they were bigger than you, wouldn't it?
Yes. This is market forces in action. You can have it. I am a socialist and proud of it, that is one of the reasons that i believe theives should not be allowed to get away with it. Likewise confidence tricksters and frauds et cetera.

Anyway, what are the odds the US government is on M$'s side in the long run no matter what kind of a show they put on? I bet it's backhanders all the way.

M$ is all about dominating the computing environment.....they just can't handle anyone else doing well.

$crew the man .... run Linux

I don't usually post to boards, but I couldn't help it when I noticed  "Open Source programs are something they cannot buy."  in the original post.  You're exactly right.  They just take them at their leasure.  Look into the history of Hotmail.  Nothing is sacred to those people.  Not even the United States government can compete against them.  Have you heard the latest news about the court battle between Microsoft and the justice department?

Calum:
US GOVERNMENT PUSSIES OUT! READ ALL ABOUT IT!

bullshit. it couldn't have gone any other way though...


quote:update WASHINGTON--The U.S. Justice Department on Wednesday conceded that it settled with Microsoft in part because trustbusters failed to prove part of the basic theory of the antitrust case.
