Ok, am I going crazy (possible) or is this story already on the Apple /. page?
Hansel USA - Chut up and read!
The MSDN Site
Can't take credit for it, already posted by the Slashdot folk...Both the download and documentation download is present on this page.
- Sighuh?
Now Slashdot's gone from not only repeating articles, but to posting duplicates of articles that are still on the front page!
(See about 3/4 of the way down the Apple section's page...)
I bought a Mac so I could be free from Microsoft. This is becoming more and more difficult every day. Bastards. Is there no rest from these guys? I was willing to live and let live while MS was just destroying the PC users' little world, but now it threatens to engulf everyone.

I'll use
Otherwise, I'll become Amish, burn my computer, and find out what this "nature" thing everyone keeps talking about is.

Make a .Net category for this stuff and /. editors wouldn't miss these redundant stories. Who knows what kind of crap/interesting news will come out about .Net in the future but whatever it is I don't want to read about it in the BSD/Linux/OS X/non-.Net category.
Thanks.
A fool throws a stone into a well and a thousand sages can not remove it.
Am I supposed to give more of a shit now that you have posted this story 3 times?
For some dumb reason, I didn't check the apple section before submitting this one... perhaps because I didn't submit it to the apple section...
Thought it was interesting, as I code for the Microsoft world and am never against having more options.
Please, go back to whatever usually goes on here, and pardon the repetitive redundancy.

By using technology owned by Microsoft, you give your support for their actions used to provide the technology you are using. And by supporting their actions, you give Microsoft more power, which they already have used questionably.
I understand your negligence if freedom means you nothing, and/or you feel that the freedom is purely some sort of religious matter.
By looking back in history, we can see that the moral ignorance of the masses, has brought the 'wrong' leaders in power. In todays world multinational corporations are the true leaders in power. Therefore my only options are to vote with my wallet and talent. So for me choosing my tools by manufacturer is not a religious statement, but rather a moral one.
We could endlessly argue of what would the Microsoft-only world be like. I personally like true capitalism, where there's a real competition.
It's good to whine, while you still can.

The clearer and less strident license used by Microsoft just prove one thing: that MS product is a joke, a toy. They just hope that once you will have played with it enough, you will get the real product, with a real license.
