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."

    I did a double-take when I read this is "Microsoft's Longhorn Faces Antitrust Sodomy". I guess it would have been a funnier article.

    Who hates Microsoft? Only techno-geeks that have an open-source agenda.

    On the other hand, talk to older folks and they see Microsoft as the company that brought usable and affordable personal computing to the masses. They see Microsoft as one of the companies that fattened their 401k or mutual funds.

    So you see not everybody hates Microsoft.

    In trying a bunch of live CD linux distros, only SuSE 9.2 Live Eval will recognize my Sound Card. I'm running XFLD now, and no sound.

    Well, who's fucking fault is that? Get the proper ALSA drivers or compile your own goddamn kernel ya retarded moron! How hard can it be? Shit, a 10 year old could download the source and compile it properly. What's so hard about make menuconfig && make install?

    Here's hoping you stay with Windoze, at least there'll be one less dumbass Linux user polluting the community. Asshat.
