Are you kidding me? The customer comes first always.If it was your personal info would you still be as casual about this.Full and immediate disclosure is the only morally way to go.
Wow,th is great news.The folks over at Marshall,Texas are nothing but Trashy trolls.Being from Texas I don't condone there evil ways.Greed and low morals wreak from Marshall,Texas.Long live open source,may they live long and prosper.
Microsoft is using the backdoor again to not only make profit but get another foot in the door of OpenSource.Will Google sit idly by and not take any action? Is there anyone who can stop this evil machine? Is the future of Android doomed? Just when things were starting to look up. Oh well, Long Live Lucid Lynx...
I fear precident has been set here.So may incites have been raised here with good reasoning.Supposedly you are to be judged by your peers which should verify that all jurors truly be knowledgeable enough to make such a decision.I don't think this was the case and so justice was not served.A sad day for all the admins indeed.
I am a newbie for sure on this but if it allows Linux to run better and we still can be safe then why not? Remember the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Insert name here ______.
Linux on the desktop will come soon I hope.All new versions of os's being out at aprox the same time should be a good thing.Freedom to choose - Linux - The peoples choice!
Thanks Microsoft for continuously making it easier and easier to choose Linux.
I would imagine that thru pit stops they will change the battery or something!

I'll forgive your lack of experience on this matter but I have to answer your implication that driver absence is a Linux problem.
There is a problem with manufacturers who decide to keep their hardware specs secret and so make it difficult to have device driver support under Linux. It is true. It is a lot less common, but still true.
But this is not a problem that is exclusive to Linux. There are many devices that are older and will never have support for WindowsXP or Vista or Windows 7. The devices are considered old and outdated by these same manufacturers and do not want people using them any longer and so they don't pay to have people write drivers for more current versions of Windows. It happens. This problem also happens with Mac OS X. Recently, I upgraded my wife's machine to OS X 10.5.x and her Canon scanner does not and will not have drivers for 10.5.x even though 10.4.x and prior are still supported. All I could get were weak apologies from support but there is no intention to change from their position. They recommended that I buy some software from a 3rd party that costs twice what the scanner costs today in stores. (It is pretty weak that they actually display the MacOSX compatible logo on the package and it is no longer completely true...)
My point is that when drivers are not open sourced and/or the hardware specs are not openly available, your hardware is limited by the willingness of the hardware maker to support it. This is true of Windows, Mac OSX and Linux alike. This is NOT a Linux problem. It is a Manufacturer-with-their-heads-up-their-asses problem.
How about the Golden Rule? Ever heard of it? What would Jesus do? If your Boss's heart is not Bible trained then this may be a mute point.Business practices doe NOT excuse good judgment or honesty.Simply put,Spam is not a Christian practice.

Actually I believe it is now called Haiku.They even have a beta.

Resistance is futile.You will be assimilated.
I think this is cool, nothing quite like some good old cash to help motivate a person.Also it shows a real interest in there product.
It;s only Bad when someone else does it not me silly! Besides it;s not really stealing if you don't get caught,ooops!
One correction.The US navy does use Linux.
Please don't take my bandwidth away Microsoft,I need it.
What are you doing on this forum, instead go somewhere the other boys go to!
You gotta love the proactive way that they have chosen.Not that I am a fan!
My friends it all about money thru advertising.Google wins and we lose.

Ok, where do I sign up for Ubuntu's light version? Since everything is going 64 bit and in the cloud!

Of course.Is this not the purpose of Open Source? Living and sharing the dream.
This is unethical in my humble opinion but hey this is Microsoft.All things are lawful but not all things are advantageous!

Can I get a Amen? Yes brother,yes!
I am from and live in Texas and it's a no go on MS succeeding.
Can we not use Moonlight instead of MS to view the broadcast?
How can anyone keep up with this volume of code? As a simple vb coder myself I can't imagine wrapping your mind around this much code.
