New Documents Shed Light on Microsoft's Tactics
Tigen writes "As the NY Times reports, even as MS prepares to face penalties from the European Union, testimony during the second week of trial in the consumer class-action lawsuit in Minnesota has revealed some embarrassing internal documents from Microsoft which were not disclosed in the 1997 federal antitrust lawsuit. Items include a 1990 letter from Bill Gates to Andy Grove, and Microsoft's illegal tactics against the Go Corporation, a Silicon Valley startup."
Newsflash! M$ sucks!
Yeah, Microsoft's tactics really suck. I like Fianl Fantasy tactics better. Oh, and FP, propz to all my dead homiez.
parent post is gostse link!
Parent says that we could have had PDA's in the 80's - thats more then twenty years ago. HELLO?!?! McFLY?!?! PC's were not that affordable back then - much less low power processers with LCD Screens.
The parent is clearly a fucking inbred retard
Heh... somebody mentions "thousands of secret Guantanamo detainees", and it's accepted without a second thought. Mention a single Andy Grove detainee, and suddenly we want proof. I love America.

I'm a Windows user, and therefore I have no way of knowing what the HECK your signature means. Would you mind if I dropped you an e-mail at rikardur@sky.fr and ask you to tell me what it does?
I didn't know they had Internet terminals at the Special Olympics ..

Yes, it only runs on Macs.
Apple has about 5% of the desktop market doesn't it? Like I said, there is no strong competition for PowerPoint.
Don't like it, but they did.
By the time Linux is a threat to the MS juggernaut Microsoft will have fixed the numerous problems in their products - so why bother?
By submitting willingly I hope to be higher in the hivemind than you.
I am very small, utmostly microscopic.
Other companies actually make software that can compete with microsoft's flagship (windows)
Too bad they dont, instead they make software that only geeks want to/could/would use.
built on fraud and deceit, just like most corporations except you dont goto prison if you wear a suit
The thing MS is worried about now is that this is setting the stage for massive suits against them. It is going to be death by a thousand cuts.
Oh yea and all you windows loving trolls remember this site is called slashdot not c colon backslash.
Got Code?
But what if San wants to use his registration when we already are? Then what will he do?!
Nothing, you asshat. If the guy had meant that we'd be using the registration belonging to San, he would've said "San's registration". See the capital letter there, which indicates that it's a proper noun? See the apostrophe, which signifies possession? This is one reason why punctuation and grammar are important, people. They allow you to specify the intended meaning out of all of the possible meanings of phonetically identical sentences.
Your stupid "joke" was based upon your (actual or feigned) inability to comprehend the written English language. As such, it was missing the main ingredient of a joke: humor.
Please try harder next time before spewing your worthless dreck onto the pages of Slashodot.
Thank you.

Clear Channel has been doing this kind of crap and worse to their competition for years. Oddly enough, nobody ever seems to go after them. Think radio sucks nowadays? It does, and you can blame it on the ugly monopoly that has gone pretty much unchecked in that industry.
