Your answer is in your reply. No one is debating your idea that Microsoft has changed the computing industry. This change has directly resulted in the PC's that we have today.
A machine that has trampled on my freedom of choice.
A machine that allows a corporation to invade my privacy.
A machine that requires me to continually pay a corporation (lease, my ass.. it taxes me!) just for the machine to operate.
Microsoft's "revolution" is called indentured servitude.
I worry about a bird getting sucked into the engine of the airplane I am flying on. Maybe they could develop some similar removal system for birds? Eagles may soar high, but weasels dont get sucked into jet engines.
The ZDNet article says this, "UPnP, originally developed by Microsoft Corp., is a technology that allows a number of different kinds of devices to communicate via a network using standard protocols, such as TCP/IP."
So does Micro$oft control the UPnP spec?
And if so, I am sure that they would be happy to have a Linux implementation of their specification. Which undoubtedly they would "improve" shortly after a Linux implementation was done.
First thing I want to know is how that advertiser got my access into my PDA. Second: Why is that advertiser tracking my movements. Lastly: I want to know how to stop them from doing that.
Take this another step and it is the U.S. businesses wanting to *sell* their encryption to the world. What a novel way to force the U.S gov't to allow this by bribing the EU into opening up their crypt?

Now I understand why the NULL code I wrote runs so much faster!!
