M$ consperacy...I don't think so. Netscape was the ones that first came up with the concept of frames, not M$. In fact, Netscape started most of the newer HTML additions, Microsux just copied off of them, as with all of their "innovative" software.
M$ look and feel -- Mac M$ Money -- Quicken M$ IE -- Mosaic M$ DOS -- Unix CLI and the list goes on and on
I agree with you Jon, it's tragic and horrable that peaceful geeks are getting trashed. Truth be told, I had been tempted to raise a little commotion when I was in high school. But you're bogging down the slashdot server. I just want the news, not this stuff, it's been crammed down my throught for the last week, and I'm just tired of hearing about it.
It seems to me that the Linux community is the Hippie revolution for the 90's. But some of you seem to think that any company that gains any marketshare and influence, they must have become "The Man" and are just trying to surpress the competition. Some companies will do that, I can think of one in particular..... But Redhat isn't like that. Reality check -- the distributions will not all grow at the same rate, one will stand above the rest. So Redhat moved some files, it's not like they made proprietory protocols, make a sym-link and stop bitching. Redhat has made more contributions to the Linux community than any other company, and how do we repay them, with suspicion and accusations. Personally I am chomping at the bit for RH 6.0 to come out at Cheapbytes.
