Competitors Cry Foul At Windows XP, 2K Service Packs

Posted by timothy on from the consider-the-source dept.

caudron writes "According to an article at ZDNet, a trade group partly funded, not surprisingly, by Microsoft's competitors is claiming that WinXP SP1 and Win2k SP3 contain 6 separate violations of both the letter and spirit of the proposed DOJ Settlement. Equally unsurprising, Microsoft disagrees with them. And so the Case-That-Wouldn't-Die drags ever onward."

    They just increase the credibility of Microsoft more and more.

    I got sick of these type of accusations.

    I have seen this before and I would like to know why anyone would run openbsd on a quad processor when even the current release 3.1 does NOT support SMP. I am a big fan of BSD and have a puffer fish hanging from my desk but for god's sake make but a better story !!!

    Funny - I believe I've seen another troll (or perhaps it was just you) post this very message.

    Since when does OpenBSD support SMP? It would make running it on Quad Xeon machines a bit... wasteful?
