Red Hat CTO Testifies at MS trial

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the boardwalk-and-park-place dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Red Hat CTO Michael Tiemann testified on behalf of the 9 states in MS's trial. From the article on SF Gate: "Red Hat Chief Technology Officer Michael Tiemann said Microsoft adds 'extensions' to critical communications methods that computers use to transmit security information, print, and perform other tasks. Those extensions are proprietary to Microsoft, he said, and despite recent actions Microsoft has not been forthcoming in releasing details of those changes.""

    You're just too cool for your own good. The problem is, that they leave these highly extensive systems to l33t hax0rs like yourself. For real now... There are too many people like yourself who consider somebody "Stupid" for not understanding. Perhaps if you gave people a little more chance to learn, or maybe you should take the oppurtunity to teach them. Instead you'd just rather give the "I'm better than you" attitude. That's part of the reason that the many *nix systems aren't as mainstream.
