CD Duplicator Refuses Linux Job, Citing MS Contract

Posted by timothy on from the bizarroworld-is-never-far-away dept.

Jonathon writes "Seems a Microsoft imposed restraint of trade agreement and concerns about the SCO suit have prevented a New Zealand company duplicating 500 CDs for our upcoming installfest. The installfest was mentioned on /. just days ago."

    And an even better case for waiting outside the guy's office with a baseball bat and a ski mask.

    Sure, MS can deny you a future contract, but one linux zealot (and belive me, there are tons) can deny you a working set of knees.

    If you haven't yet, I'd suggest reading up on "Assasination Politics". Basiclly, a group places bets on how someone will die. Once enough bets are placed, the pot grows to be huge. Then one of the betters (that word seems right, but feels wrong) decides to take matters into his own hands and make his bet come true. Very clever stuff.

    I'd rather you do it wrong, than for me to have to do it at all.
