US Antitrust Judge Examining Windows 7 Documents

Anonymous writes "After more than 11 years, the US antitrust case involving Microsoft is still alive, with a federal judge overseeing enforcement of provisions under which the software giant must operate. And now, Judge Kollar-Kotelly says she'll take a close look at new technical documents involving Windows 7. This case began during the Windows 95 era."

    Yeah, it is the point. Mac and linux have more bases covered every day. Windows is becoming irrelevant. The big hassle with linux now is the lack of standardization in package management. And a big pain in the ass it is. And of course microsoft seems fully intent on dragging linux through patent and copyright hell. So they have two things going for them, inertia and the law. That is the thread they hang on today. But we no longer need them. Provided you're not using a Canon printer on an RPM based system. But then, I blame Canon for lack of support there. Let me show you a little something where linux blows microsoft out of the water. If this was an open source project, a script would have been written to automate the entire process. Time to say bye bye, MS. I only tinker with it to stay up to speed for the people that need my help. But I finally got a client with an eee pc. She couldn't happier, except for the damn canon. Everything else she figured out on her own. Wireless, the works. And also, for people who want to upgrade their HPs and Compaqs back to XP, good luck finding drivers. You gotta search through older models to find one that works. Linux? Out of the box, ready to run. There is no need to be a Windows Defender.
