How do they allow judges who don't understand anything to decide on the fate of the computer industry??
As the continue anti-trust battle, Chief Judge Douglas Ginsburg said
quote:
the court had concluded the code for Microsoft's browser should be left intact because users need it to surf the Web to update Windows and other functions.
Isn't that a fucking paradox or something? MS got sued for integrating its browser into the OS and thus creating an internet monopoly and now one of the judges basically says that IE should be left integrated because people need it. WHAT THE FUCK? Have these idiots never heard of Mozilla, Netscape, or just consumer choice in general?
quote:
District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly last year approved a settlement of the case reached by Microsoft, the Justice Department and 17 other states that let PC makers remove icons and other access to Microsoft products, but not the software code itself. The icon removal cannot be expected to accomplish anything," Robert Bork told the six-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals, saying software developers will continue to write programs for Microsoft products.
I'd really like to meet the mongoloid who suggested this idea in the first place. They intend to un-monopolize Microsoft by hiding shortcuts to the bundled programs?
!!!
Fucking idiots all over...
