According to long arm statutes all you have to do is conduct sufficient activities within a state to warrant a connection with that state. That's the way it has always been and always will be. It would appear that using a server in that state is grounds for sufficient activities for a connection to that state.
So what. You should grow up and be responsible for your actions. Stop whining.
Some of Mr. Katz's quotes show a high degree of either ignorance, confusion or stupidity about what the book is about. So much so that I am saddened that he would proport to write a review, when in reality he wrote propaganda.
Mr. Katz this book was about business, not about Bill's personal life as quotes like this would appear you think it is: "Is if fun being Bill Gates? Painful? Is he angry about the government's challenge to his company? Is he bothered by Linux, open source or free software? Does he notice all those geek attacks? Does he like living in his digital castle, with all Leonardo Da Vinci and Napoleon's private stuff? Does he really wear computer chips to alter the climate and artwork of his house as he moves room to room?"
This isn't Bill's biography or autobiography its a business theory and strategy book (or lack thereof). It has nothing to do with the current problems of his company or any he may be having outside of it. I think that you apparently want to draw relations between Bills personal life and problems which you know NOTHING or very little about onto a book he wrote. It's a stretch and it shows what I have seen as a steady decline in the quality of the information posted on SlashDot. Articles and reviews like this and simply bashing anything that is NOT Linux is one of the reasons I find myself reading Slashdot less and less...

It is a known fact that Bill politely waits in lines all over the Seattle area. In living around here for 20 years in Bill G "central" I never ever heard the story about the.50 cent coupon. Sounds to me that you got caught by an urban legend.;-)
I wish people would take the time to read the EULA before they start talking about Class Action or any other types of Law Suits. The people they should be talking to are Toshiba, IBM, Dell or whomever they bought their PC from. Sure marching on good ol' MS sounds better but it isn't the right thing to do. The end result of all this hubbub will be that a few Linux users will get embarassed in court when a judge tells them they have filed against the wrong company and throws it out...
Seeking the refund is futile if you don't goto the right people in the first place.

Anyone who follows NT/W2K has known about Data Center Server and what it is proported to offer for some time now. Better late than never I suppose.
