Microsoft Loses Showdown in Houston
An anonymous reader writes "It seems the city of Houston has decided against using Microsoft software. It really is amazing how much it costs to use (and maintain) software. I can't help but wonder if this will become a trend." Turns out they decided on the relativly unknown SimDesk suite, which has nothing to do with The Sims, sadly. Many, many posts about this. In additional news seldo writes "There's an interesting interview on News.Com with Peter Houston. He discusses Microsoft's changing attitude in competing with Linux -- no longer calling it a "cancer" but instead promoting the advantages of Windows."

I'm sorry to have to correct you in this patronising manner, but the fucking word is spelled DEFINITELY

That was classic intercourse!

I was somewhat surprised not to see this article posted to /. regarding the court's decision against Mircosoft not including Java in Windows XP.
Or, alternatively, how about the trash? Reliably saving deleted files on your Mac since 1984.
