This time it's not Microsoft doing the dirty deed, but a couple of 3rd-party companies. And they already have 500,000 users installed. I can see the lawyers salivating already."

    Hey -- if some teenager smuggles an app. onto a corporate computer, he's a nasty hacker who must be punished. When corporations try to smuggle their crap onto my computer, that's smart business. Huh?

    Just like Slashdot publishing sad notes about VA Linux and holding a discussion about the new Closed Source improvements over the Sourceforge engine: more clicks, more banner hits.

    Too sad we buried the Closed Source strategy of VA Linux with a few "kudos to VA Linux". People seem not to realize when a group of people that marketed "openness" to the world now embraces the evil they wanted to overcome.
