States Filing Alternate Remedy Proposal for MS Anti-Trust Case

cbull writes: "News.com reports that 9 states and the District of Columbia will be filing an alternate remedy proposal in the Microsoft case later today. This would close some of the loopholes, better define middleware, require Microsoft to continue Office development for Macintosh and to develop a version of Office for Linux, among other things." There's also a Cringely column about the case. Somehow the phrase "Microsoft Office for Linux" has gotten people all fired up. Do you really want a version of Office for Linux? Really?

If your kid needs to wear a helmet while he's on a pogo stick, maybe you should take it off and let him bash his fucking brains. Natural selection will thank you.

DAMN that commercial pisses me off. Fucking Republicans.

No although after I wrote that I went out and found one http://packages.debian.org/unstable/non-us/rdeskto p.html I like VNC and have used it in many places for many years. I like many people are stuck in a half and half world and I find myself with admin passwords on many Winders 2000 boxen and using terminal server in Winders 2000 often. VNC can't do it. I'll have to see how well this package does. :)
