No I mean that any sane, honest politician just have to use this as ammo in his/her country to do the same. A bill that is presented with this kind of arguments have to be approved unless the elected government is corrupt or stupid......
1980-ish when the IBM PC came out, you had only one choice PC-DOS (later also sold as MS-DOS) a repackaged OS IBM bought from Microsoft. The original that Mr. Gates bought real cheap from a friend was supposedly called QDOS for Quick&Dirty OS. The first incarnation of Windoze came around -85-86 and was a poor ripoff of MAC OS (in turn stolen from Xerox) and ran on top of DOS.
The thing is that Copyright laws do allow you to make copies for your own use. I have on my PC at work about 1500 mp3's that are perfectly legal and their purpose is to keep me from lugging CD's to and from work. SSSCA would prevent that since the only purpose of mp3 is to steal music...
Funny, I installed a new box with various obscure H/W that needs a stack of diskettes if I were to install Winblows. I was not too confident. But, guess what, I popped in my Mandrake 8.1, selected the parts I wanted installed and off it went and installed everything. Everything works, including better graphics resolution than they promised with Winblows.
My wife just runs it without problems, she only cares if it can read email and surf.
OK so PII/200 didn't exist so then a whopping bump from P/166 to P/175 or so (yes the increase must be a half-multiplier of FSB. This is not to relate to real versions but rather to hammer down the fact that 70 MHz increase is no big number when the processor already runs the other side of 1.5 GHz.
Tell me when 1.8 or 2 GHz is here and I may feign interest.
Nope, You can get them all without M$ tax or even with Linux preinstalled (Red Hat on Dell, HP and IBM i do belive)
IBM is actually a really big Linux retailer. They even have a laptop that I do not think you can get with M$ tax.
Claming to be a democracy when the current president got less than half of the votes cast by less than 50% of eligible voters. This just proves that it is not even a proportional representative republic.
Wouldn't buy clothes on-line in the first place.
Come to think of it since many retailer on the net use Windows IIS, I wouldn't buy anything on the net.
I would certainly not buy anything from a site requiring Passport whether i run Windows or not.

With this letter Mr David Villanueva Nuñez effectively killed the use of proprietary closed software in any country governed by sane politicians.
Because politicians must do something about this problem that bothers their owne^H^H^H^Hlocal industry.
Hey, they are paying for the completely impartial /. community to bash them. Way to go ;-)
Since I had this trademark name since before the K6 I am actually considering suing AMD for royalties on their CPU sales :-)
Sorry, what was I thinking :-)
Perens is dismantling Mundies FUD in a calm, businesslike way. Let's hope that the debate on MS FUD stays this calm and reasonable
Get your facts straight buddy.

You don't pay them big bucks, corporations do. That's the difference

Same applies to Mandrake 8.1
My kids have Win for their games, and I had to reinstall some time ago. Not a very entertaining job...

Maybe you'd even go as far as change your settings to check Exclude Stories from the Homepage:JonKatz rather than post adolescent rants...

Yeah that's right an astounding leap of 4.9% is a questionable bump.
Back in the PII/200 days that would have been like releasing PII/210. Yeay!

No, more like whoever bought that very expensive lock that turned out to be a very cheap lock...
