What did you expect him to say? That they're hypocrites indeed? On cost hey? I care about cost to, yet it's illegal for me to download movies and audios for free.
In short, they're saying that they welcome our help and they love our licenses but they'll maintain there stupid policies and there closed/proprietary/not good licenses.
yeah it's a real pain, I had to install WinXP instead of Windows 2000 and only the MS drivers worked, ATI ones where a disaster although my friend says that the ATI drivers has been fixed now.
I hope they do, I hope they do. The government needs to learn a lesson.
Well the school doesn't have much of a choice. Let's say they have MS Word, Windows, etc. courses, do you think that they have the time to change all those courses and find qualified OpenOffice, Linux, etc. teachers before next semester?
Seems to me like MS is taking it's revenge for the anti-trust suite by trying to audit every government institution. I don't know the details but that's what it looks like to me. But you know what? I don't feel sorry for any of them.
"I find it funny to read Americans spout this kind of stuff. From the outside, American society and law seems much less forgiving about people who have different viewpoints that many other countries, such as Russia and European countries. A good example is that girl who was recently thrown out of school for opposing what the US has been doing in Afghanistan. How intolerant does a society have to be to throw a young girl out of school for being anti-war?"
Well we didn't hear about that, nobody talked about it in the US but it wouldn't surprise me. Censorship is alive and well around here.
I have an XBox and I'll be buying a GC to but there's no way I'm gonna risk voiding my warranty so I can have a little fun with the boxes. I can't afford it. I don't like Nintendo's graphics, but they do have some good games.
I want to be able to log on to a website without having to register over and over again. As a consumer I'd have loved it. On the other hand, I don't see why would corporations use Passport. Oh well it was a nice idea. Of course I don't see why the government should use it.
I'd like to be able to use my MS passport on websites like Slashdot, arstechnica, planetunreal, porn sites, etc. but for government websites, it's another story.
How many freaking years have this lawsuit been going on? For God's sake, I would pay a thousand bucks just so they can settle this lawsuit and stop talking about it.
just like Java, you have the option of downloading or not the.NET framework. So, the fact that Java is bundled or not with Windows won't make much difference.

No one is forcing you to use Windows. You've never had so many choices. Linux, Mac, BeOS, atheOS, etc.
Obviously not many of you have been in Japan. The people in there don't like the US much and they'd prefer buying something made in Japan rather than in the US.
Seems to me like console sales nowadays are pretty pathetic but I'm sure that a huge marketing campaign won't hurt any of the console makers.

and because they mention it in the EULA doesn't mean it's legal. Anyway, it's not like this player will be actually downloaded much.

while he's at it why don't he just label Apple as terrorists? Is this thing for real or is it April fools day again?
How can someone steal and then go and complain about the same company he stealed from?
They could've gone with Linux but they decided to go the other way and steal, that'll teach them.
I hope they do, I hope they do. The government needs to learn a lesson.

Are you criticizing the most electrifying man in sports entertainment? Know your role, jabroni :)
Technology sure evolved, but did you ever ask yourself if humanity has evolved?

To be released on July 2002? That's it, I'm postponing my vacation so I can play Unreal.
Governments have a history of wasting our taxes, if they didn't waste that money on Oracle licenses they would've wasted it on other stupid things.

Seems to me like your site will have plenty of information. Using Flash for that kind of site is a really bad idea. Flash is a usability nightmare.
I used Warez when I was a teenager but now that I can afford to buy my software, I've been buying like hell. I buy at least 1 app/game every month.

You can make fun all you want. But I think that's the way to go.
Actually the XBox is a pretty good system. It's the most powerfull one as of yet.
And it's not failing. Japan is only one market.
I don't know but that's what I remember them saying. They hoped that on average, people will buy 2.5 games so they can make a profit.
You probably have some kind of visual deficiency. Have you played DOA3, PGR, Halo, Wreckless?
