Microsoft have open sources a lot of their work, you can even get to look at Windows code if you pay them.
Just the other day I was looking at the Enterprise Library for.NET Framework 2.0-January and guess what: Source code. Installing Enterprise Library places source code for the application blocks, configuration console, and QuickStarts into the installation directory. To execute the QuickStarts or the Enterprise Library tools, you must first build the Enterprise Library source code. For instructions about how to build Enterprise Library, see "Building the Enterprise Library" in the documentation.
So Microsoft does do open source, just not the kind of open source most in the FOSS community (including myself) would like to see.
I buy online (not ebay!) and read the user feedback against a company, either that or I buy from a company recomended by my friend who used to work as a mechanic.
I only buy alternators from reputable dealers, and I never fall for spam or phishers because I would never do what the email asked me to even if it was genuine.
paper books don't need electricty to read, don't suffer from bugs or require updates, and survive ordinary wear and tear much better than electronic reader
That book from 1907 would have been printed on old school hemp paper or cloth, a modern acidic ground wood pulp books would never last that long, commonly less than 50 years.
That may get you onto the sex offenders register, especailly if there are so many people watching, and you won't be able to get a job working with children for the rest of your life.
So any OpenGL application that's not GPL in the distribution I use has to be GPL becaue they also distribute MESA with the application, making the application a derived work of MESA.
I think the GPL quite clearly states that they mean a derived work under copyright law, if they don't then they need to state otherwise and since the GPL relies on copyright law I think their going to have a hard time enforcing it.
Basically I don't see how something that doesn't contain any of the code in the kernel (e.g. a binary driver) can be called a derived work under copyright law making the GPL and LGPL are esensially one of the same.
As an example of this think about an applicaiton that uses OpenGL under Linux, If they compiled against NVidias drivers and had a closed source application would they have to release their application under the GPL just becaue someone ran their application using Mesas drivers? I think not.
I can assure you that the only way to keep the kernel API from changing is to kill the project.
You don't have to stop the API chaging, you just have to stop it changing all of the time. Doing that also give you the added benifit that third party vendors don't keep pulling their hair out because the kernel API keeps changing so they may be more included to actually release drivers in the first place.
- New network stack with IPv6 in the core Already in Linux and probably OSX - New GUI / window manager in user-space (better stability / new eyecandy)
X11 is user space already and has been for years - Priority based I/O handling (virus scanner won't slow down your system because it's hitting the disk)
I don't seem to have these problems under Linux - User Account Control (not running as Administrator by default anymore)
Already in Linux and OSX - New user-space audio subsystem (better stability, program-level volume control, AC3 decoding, etc.)
Already available in Linux (p.s. I hate it when application have their own volume levels, almost as much as when they change the global volume setting) - New speech recognition / synthesis engines
Already in Linux and Windows and Mac, expect an anti-trust case. - New SMB protocol (better performance)
Samba any one? - Full disk encryption (BitLocker)
Already in Linux oh, and it's open so your not tied into using Linux. - Built in search
Already available on Windows, expect an anti-trust case. - Built in antispyware
Already available on Windows, expect an anti-trust case. - Faster installation
How fast is the uninstall? - New bootloader
Grub - Deadlock detection
You missed out, DRM and trusted paths.
Sounds like there trying to write Microsoft Gnu/Linux with DRM on the side. Given the current fealing about Microsofts bad monopolistic practices I expect they will have to ship a stripped down version of Vista without search, spyware, speech recognition and possibly even drm in a few countries and possibly even Europe.
The other person may not know what your going on about with email, but at least you do and you have a record of it. When I'm on the phone to someone I usually have a new message open, that I type our conversation into, edit into somethine more logical and then email to myself for future reference.
My understanding is that Australia does have a reasonable health & welfare system, so thats a big carrot (stick?) to wave. But it's still not compulsory.
So for poor people who rely on the state is compulsary but for rich people who can afford their own health care and don't need welfare it's not.
Wrong, the Christians worship The father, son and holy spirit, they worship the same God as the Jews and the Muslims but as part of that God they also worship Christ which in my books make it the same 'God' but different.
What about the 0.0001% of Gods that do exist but aren't really Gods, surely someone's built a religion around a real person who wasn't actually a God.... Umm.... and called it Christianity.
I thought you could break it by having a mass of entangled particals so that you could attack the stream in several ways at once but still leave it intact.
it is the latter, well european companies in europe. I'm not sure if it covers export too e.g. Enropean media companies advertising hate porno to children in the US.

Have you actually read what Abstaction filtration comparison is?
Which clause of the GPL is it exactly that prevents dynamic linking? I'm not talking about the FAQ, the FAQ isn't the license.

The GPL states,
0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below, refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program" means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".
And the way that copyright law dertermines if something is a derived work is called 'Abstraction Filtration Comparison'.
Basically I don't see how something that doesn't contain any of the code in the kernel (e.g. a binary driver) can be called a derived work under copyright law making the GPL and LGPL are esensially one of the same.

They should setup a shop front for dell with Apple branding all over the place, call it aMacs and then see what Apple computers do.
Not good enough? How about this:
- New network stack with IPv6 in the core
Already in Linux and probably OSX
- New GUI / window manager in user-space (better stability / new eyecandy)
X11 is user space already and has been for years
- Priority based I/O handling (virus scanner won't slow down your system because it's hitting the disk)

My girlfriend owns about a thousand CD albums and singles and several hundred dvds, most of them still wrapped up like it's Christmas.
She also works for blockbuster and gets 10 free rentals a week, we usually get time to watch 3 and never get time to watch any of the DVDs she owns.
