U.S. Faults Microsoft Licensing Compliance
An anonymous reader writes "In a written report card on how well Microsoft is complying with its 2001 antitrust deal with state and federal prosecutors, Justice Department lawyers said they might need the court to force Microsoft to act more quickly." The DOJ's court filing is online if you want to wade through it.
What happened to laissez faire ideals, free market and all that.
Microsoft is argueably the most successful company evar, if the DOJ takes action to break up Microsoft or fine them I could see this as the ideals of capitalism breaking down.
People would nolonger aspire to become as rich and successful as possible? Is being greedy a crime?
If you were Bill Gates would you open source Windows or would you buy a few more boats!
There is no god
They probably would have, but then Bush was elected and one of his cronies probably had a vested interest in Microsoft.
I'm just sick of the Microsoft bashing that runs on here unabated. Clearly the justice department doesn't feel MS is as big a threat as the slashdot averageuser does, and honestly I don't think it is one either. They're a business, and they'll do what businesses do to survive,
What really pisses me off is when companies like Apple use THEIR monopolistic powers to do the same as MS, but there's no legal response against them, and hundreds of slashdot fanboys actively defending them.
Same with Sun, SGI, Redhat, Mandrake and so on.
If I remember correctly, they gave more money to the democracts than the republicans. You're just an upset liberal scum. Go kill more babies and sell the body parts for testing (ie go support the murder known as abortion).
If a baby is strong enough to survive an abortion attempt, then the doctor, or nurse, strangles it (unless the person has a moral backbone--then the put it up for adoption {illegally by the way}). Animals have better protection than humans do. Wake up from the drunken liberal lies that our society tries to shove down your throats!
Ah, so the ARU are the SS of Britian. Now I understand, but I don't understand why you'd want to live in a police state.
As the current US President.
Help fight continental drift.
Off all the communist-lefty-socialist hybrid self deprecating America deprecating cunts I have sparred with on leftist /., you arent worth arguing with.
Your "comment" is so rife with bullshit and propaganda that I wont even begin to deconstruct it.
Disarm NYC police officers, you fucking moron. Fucking moron. Go to Los Angeles, and see what a huge city without enough police is like. You sould love those guys, they keep the fucking thing from collapsing. I wouldnt ever expect a fuck like you to help anyone while the WTC crumbled. But you are sure a shit critical of the society and system that lets you lead a relativly nice life, although you could give a fuck.
America hating is so gay when you live in a Western country. If you own a fucking computer, America is your friend. The animals that maruad around, communist, dictators and unelected idiots the world over hate people, hate the internet and "they cant stand freedom."
You pukes are fucking lucky that the communists shitheads made it almost impossible for cops to ue any force even when its totally needed, else you fuckers would have gotten your ass whipped for all the fucking spitting and name calling you did to the cops.
fuckers.
