Microsoft's Longhorn Faces Antitrust Scrutiny

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the fine-toothed-comb dept.

benore writes "The Department of Justice will be reviewing Microsoft's Longhorn product as part of the company's antitrust settlement. One analyst opines that Mircosoft is appearing to soften its image to become kinder and gentler. 'They don't want people to hate them anymore. They've learned from their mistakes.' Hmmm."

    This is gonna sound pedantic, but the name "Antitrust" is derived from monopolistic business cartels at the time that the legislation was written, which were then called "trusts".

    The reason you almost never get 0 results with "netstat -a" in Linux is that it lists Unix Sockets in addition to Network (TCP&UPD) Sockets which are used by X11, your systemlogger and other programs but are strictly local.
