That's what I mean. If I ran a company using all Solaris boxen, and the BSA came along with some Windows crap software, I'd tell them to go ahead and try to install it.
Sounds more like a comedy than a horror story to me...
I believe the fine was actually 2500 euros. OK, the author should create his own currency on bits of paper, called 'keuros' and send 2500 keuros to the lawyers.
When the lawyers complain, he can say, 'keuros', euros, aren't they the same thing ?
It's funny, when I scan through the finance news on yahoo, I'll often see stories like 'Company X just signed a deal with M$, blah blah blah, Company X's stock just went up 500%', and I'll think to myself 'Why the hell does the share price of these companies shoot up ? In two or three years Company X will be sucked dry and their shares will be worth 0'.
I guess the moral is to buy shares before a company signs a deal with M$, and then get out as quickly as you can afterwards.

Why don't you try reading Slashdot?
If so, it is eventually stripped out.
There you go, I just reopened it for you :-)
For users outside of the US, Microsoft still owns all your data sent through Passport.
What you do is, whenever you register with a site, you write down your username and password in a little notebook.
Don't actually write your password, just something to remind you what the password is.
Amazing eh ?
I think I'm going to patent the idea.
