Storm Brewing over Microsoft on the Horizon?
SexyFingers writes "Robert X. Cringely, of I, Cringely discusses one of the last anti-trust lawsuit beleaguering Microsoft. It seems like Microsoft is looking bad on these bouts... words like, lie, dissemble, ignores were applied to Microsoft."
The kid is as smart as his mother and twice as smart as me.
He just admitted that his wife is twice as smart as he is. She must read his column.

Maybe Microsoft's mail servers were just having a bad day that day.
I'm sure that Mr. Ashcroft will haul Mr. Ballmers ass in at once and the commander in chief will withdraw 10000 troups from Iraq, for the sole purpose of surrounding the Microsof campus and arrest everybody in sight!
All property including cash assets will be seized and distributed to education and social security, since Mr. Cheeney finally sees the wrongs of his fiduciary irresponsibilities quite drastically and sees the light.
Mr. Ashcroft will set all steps in motion right after finishing his doobie in a white house crapper stall.
Just wait and see; it oughta be mighty entertaining.

Longhorn won't be released until Linux has reached a reasonable maturity level on the Desktop and MS has had a chance to carry over the features it deems worthy...
comspiracy...yea, i'm not really serious about it....but it does make you wonder.
Analogies don't equal equalities, they are merely somewhat analogous.
Scrooge McDuck swam in his money, he had good ethical behavior though.
Dude, they had this Linux mail server which just went and ate all that sensitive e-mail.
Microsoft? LIE? Say it isn't so? No, I don't believe it! Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer are two of the most trust worthy people on the planet. When that security is their number one priority and I continually get attacked on a daily basis, I know it's because all those piles of money blocking the hallways in Bill's House was to blame. If only they coud figure out a way to put all that useless money to work solving their problems. Sigh.
This is my sig. There are many like it but this one is mine.
Is this storm brewing on the horizon, or over Microsoft? I'm confused.

Well, if I the choice is between having the president in the pocket of Big Oil vs. in the pocket of Big Ketchup, I suppose that I would pick the latter. I guess I just really don't care that much if the administration sets our National Condiment Policy in closed-door meetings with industry insiders.
equal a large jury verdict against MS and possibly support a punitive damages award too. A large verdict could represent a tipping point in any number of tactical efforts by MS, for example the ongoing war over consumer desktop space. . . . Okay I just like the idea of a significant verdict coming from a suit which is basically called, "Burst Microsoft."
I'm laughing at clouds.
Well let's look at office suites. MS didn't have a monopoly on office suites. Corel used to make one (do they still? I haven't used it since it sucked so bad it made me puke.) What else was there? It's hard to blame Office's success on exploiting a monopoly when historically you had just one competitor, and that competitor sucked.
yeah, because having access to undocuments API's didn't give MS any advantages.
I don't really remember the difference between the two back when they wre of equal market share., but modern Corel does suck, so that was probably a part of it, but MS used their control to their advantage very effectivly at the same time.
Wow, sent an e-mail as suggested when clicking on "use classic" banner, and got a fast response that addressed my msg
