Judge Says Microsoft Must Give States Windows Code

murphro (along with many others) writes, "Reuters is posting a story describing how the Judge has ordered the release of Windows code to the states seeking antitrust sanctions. I doubt it will actually happen (because MS will fight it this to the end). But if it did, do you think we commoners would ever see it? And if you did get your hands on the code, what would you do with it?" Here's the Yahoo link. (The same Reuters story is on dozens of other sites, too.)

    And if you did get your hands on the code, what would you do with it?

    Give it back to Microsoft, then go wash my hands with lye.

    Ah, the typical stupid windows joke.

    Did you think of that one all by yourself or did a crack-team of Linux gurus help ya?

    Long live an OS that works, Long live windows!

    Children should rebuild their kernels - it could be dangerous.

    Your so right about the MS update features. Everytime
    I've seen it update- something stops working, or gets less secure.
    They REALLY know what they're doing up there in Redmond!

    Hmm - and you're using menuconfig instead of xconfig??

    Have you compiled your kernel today??

    Sure, well did you ever stop to think you had so many troubles with win2k because you're an idiot? I mean I've been running it for quite sometime [except for last week when I switched to RH7.2] and I've never had any problems. I even ran a website off it [apache 1.3.23] for about a year.

    Besides, I've crashed RH7.2 about three times in Gnome. Just goto a fullscreen DGA application than try swapping tasks. With the base NVidia drivers you can completely lock up the OS easily that way.
