Sell Your Computers, Keep Paying MS For Licenses
An anonymous reader writes "Microsoft Licensing 6.0 requires a company to pay up on software maintenance when the computers that are covered under the license are sold off. Here's the kicker though: MS is no longer obligated to provide maintenance even though the contract is paid up! Read the Infoworld article."
And the latest news: "Microsoft put an end to the unspeakable joy in Iraq when they dropped 40.000 versions of 2003 series. This incident let to many riots" haha i can see it!
GNU/Linux !!
A manpenis! Don't you?
or his henchmen
I saw one Iraqi who will be boating this w/end - if there's anything left of the hull...
That guy needs his own TV show. I bet he has the best stories, like the time he went out with CowboyNeal and they both got lucky... and not with each other!
The world would be a better place.
The Americans are driving the Iraqis to the heaven of democracy through bombs and missiles. They prepared a number of international resolutions, which implementation would mean that Iraqis will pay for the costs of the bombs that were fired on them from the funds accumulated in the UN, and which came from Iraq's oil and the children who died because of the siege.
well saddam wasn't about to leave just because you wanted to wave a white flag at him. The children died so generations of their brothers and sisters could be free. So those Iraqis dressed in tatters were benefitting from the oil before?? You're a gutless aplogist for atrocity. Ask the people of Iraq - THEY have won this war - thanks to the Brits, Yanks, and, of course, the Aussies.
The children died so generations of their brothers and sisters could be free.
I maintain that fewer Iraqi children were killed accidently by coalition forces these 3 weeks than would have been killed by Saddam on purpose if the status quo was maintained.
