"xbill" for Mac OS X

An anonymous reader writes "Seems like some guys have made a GPL'd Mac OS X game called xGates. It's very similar to xbill but you get to use a chainsaw and it's awfully violent. Funny to see how the Mac community is slowly but surely becoming UNIXified. =)" Hey, xbill was a Unix app first, but we Mac users have hated Microsoft and Gates since before Linux or xbill even existed! :-)

Oh but it was

Of course it was an investment. That way Microsoft can say to the judge, "see, there's competition - Apple - we're not a monopoly", when in fact they control Apple too. Over 98% of Mac users use MSIE as their browser and over 90% use MS Office for word processing / spreadsheets / etc.. So the OS isn't sold by Microsoft. Big deal. The OS by itself doesn't do much. As Apple used to say, "it's not what the computer does, it's what you can do with it". And most people with Macs use Microsoft software too. In fact, MS Office and MSIE are more dominant in the Mac market than in the Windows market.

With 'enemies' like these, MS doesn't need any friends.

I'm not saying the Linux community is entirely consistent, either. They say Microsoft sucks but then they spend all their time trying to copy Microsoft's look & feel. But at least they're just trying to make a copy, they're not using (and paying for) the original.
