Possible Delays for Vista in Europe
tttonyyy writes "After Microsoft was hit with fines for anti-competitive behaviour in 2004 and 2006, it seems that the launch of Vista may be delayed in Europe. Microsoft is blaming this delay on a lack of guidelines from the European Commission. The Commission denies causing any delay, declaring that the impetus is not on them but on Microsoft to produce a product that conforms to the EU competition rules." Further,
The New York Times reports "Delaying the introduction in Europe, [members of the European Parliament] said in a letter made public by Microsoft on Thursday, 'would put European companies at a competitive disadvantage with every other company around the world who does have access to these new technologies.'"

GNAA campaign against PHP and ZEND bears fruit
Impi - Diplomatic Corp, South Africa
The ongoing war against PHP by the GNAA has finally produced results that are a step in the right direction. GNAA have been aggressively involved in a campaign to educate the public at large about the tremendous control that MOSSAD has over the development of PHP and the subsequent clandestine information gathering technology that has been implemented by Jewish developers.
The co-founders of Zend, the PHP Company, Zeev Suraski and Andi Gutmans are known Israeli MOSSAD agents; they were recruited by MOSSAD during their formative years at the Israel Institute of Technology.
On Friday, 28 July 2006, Jani Taskinen, aka _sniper_ resigned from the PHP development team.
FYI: I don't care at all what anybody thinks about me. I'm going to
be openly anti-Israel from now on. This was the last straw for me.
Fuck you Jews.
I will also quit this project. As long as it's backed by some Israel
company, I don't want to have anything to do with it.
Good bye.
This was a direct result of the ongoing war against Hezbollah which has been backed by the USA and primarily been driven by the information gathering technologies embedded in PHP by Zend.
Several GNAA members who were also part of the PHP development team have also resigned in solidarity with Jani Taskinen.
timecop, the glorious president of the GNAA has reacted in the wake of these events by extending an invitation of honorary lifetime GNAA membership to _sniper_, for having courage in his convictions.
GNAA official website, located at http://www.gnaa.us/ is powered by Microsoft Internet Information Services and ASP.NET, running on INTEL hardware.
Sony should at least give a PS3 to open source developers in EU for preparing/testing software to be stable at launch day in EU.
:) and lets make sure it can run inside a XEN virtual machine.
There might be some killer open source apps (like Firefox) in PS3 that would certainly invite more users to buy one.
As for hasta la vista baby candy OS, I vote for open sourcing all parts of it before allowing to enter EU
