Microsoft Dislikes Nations Trying to Escape Lock-in
Johnny Mnemonic writes "Reuters, link to C|Net, is reporting that Microsoft considers a possible collaboration among three Asian nations to produce their own OS "unfair". You just can't make this stuff up. Shouldn't Asian nations also have the Freedom to Innovate? Or is this merely a dodge by Microsoft to demonstrate that they really do face competition? Will they hire Boies to prosecute their case?"

New York, NY - GNAA (Gay Nigger Association of America) today announced acquisition of The SCO Group for $26.9 million in stock and $40 million in gay niggers.
GNAA today announced it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire the intellectual property and technology assets of The SCO Group, a leading provider of Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt, based in Lindon, Utah. GNAA's acquisition of SCO technology will help GNAA sign up more members worldwide. In addition to developing new solutions, GNAA will use SCO engineering expertise and technology to enhance the GNAA member services.
"I'd love to see these GNAA types slowly consumed by millions of swarming microbes and converted into harmless and useful biochemicals." said an anonymous slashdot poster, blinded by the GNAA success in achieving first post on a popular geek news website, slashdot.org.
"This GNAA shit is getting out of hand. Slashdot needs troll filters. Or better yet a crap flood mod that I can exclude from my browsing. Seriously, a good troll is art, what you dumb fucks are doing is just plain stupid." said spacecowboy420.
macewan, on linuxquestions said "Thanks for that link to the SCO quotes page. My guess is that they want to be bought out. Hrm, think they want GNAA to buy them??"
After careful consideration and debate, GNAA board of directors agreed to purchase 6,426,600 preferred shares and 113,102 common shares (the equivalent of 150,803 ADSs) of SCO, for an aggregate consideration of approximately US$26.9 million and approximately $40 million for gay niggers that were working in Lindon, Utah offices of The SCO Group.
If all goes well, the final decision is to be expected shortly, followed by transfer of most SCO niggers from their Lindon, UT offices to the GNAA Headquarters in New York.

About S
A cartel of governments with an annual GDP in the 5 trillion range producing an OS with the intent of "compeating" with a company in the neighborhood of a thousand times smaller is not the free market. They should innovate. Small business loads, grad students. But ultimately governments making software isn't a whole lot better than governments making airplanes or computer chips. Microsoft does have a case. And they probably should get the US to go to step up to the plate, especially considering how little of the MS software in use throughout asia was paid for.

I heard that Taco got locked in last time Bill Gates took him home from the bar to fuck him up the ass.
The parent isn't offtopic. It provides a link to the Chinese point of view in this discussion. Seeing as the article is based on the Microsoft point of view here, it's definitely worthwhile. Stupid moderators are too American-centric. And you wonder why the rest of the world despises the United States.
And just accept that the growing economic power of China and Europe will consign the US to irrelevance - "just another country".
You're gay. Faggot.
Prepare to be modbombed, asshole. Fuck you.
Hey! Suck my dick! And fucking like it!
I love how those tools will support anything so long as it can potetnially topple Microsoft.
What a bunch of wankers.
In these times, just like our troops, our corporations need our support!
Corporations supply employment. Do you want to be unemployed?
How small a thought it takes to fill a whole life
And one ugly chick.
Bullshit, bullshit, bullshit.
There are at *LEAST* half a dozen ugly chicks that hang out here.
Microsoft considers a possible collaboration among three Asian nations to produce their own OS "unfair".
Boo-fucking-hoo.... My ass bleeds peanut butter for you Bill. It's not enough that you've strong-armed the rest of the free world into running your Big Brother Inside spyware package, you won't stop untill every living being has a Wintel microchip implanted at the base of the skull.
You have a "god" complex. Someone is going to knock you off of your high horse, and that someone is a little guy named TUX..
P.S. Bill, please die soon, we've had quite enough already..
You have GOT to be kidding. Let me correct a few fallacies here:
1. Linux may be winning server contracts, but it's not stealing them from Windows... it's knocking over existing UNIX installations.
2. Linux is no threat (and never will be) to Microsoft's dominance on the desktop.
3. Wishful thinking on your part will not make it so... you're just sticking your head in the sand.
4. Microsoft is not only going to win against free software, it's going to DECIMATE free software.
Awww, poor you Microsoft pigs. Japan trust the US let alone a US company to their most important computing needs? YYyyaaaaa! How about Japan throws a nuke over your fucken god damn ass like you did to them. Lie, cheat and steal. Keep it coming pigs. COME ON!
One company or two, Microsoft software is still gonna be shit.
