When (if?) Linux finally gains a notable share of the PC market, companies will start to support it, provided it's worth their while. Until then, you've just got to accept that it's a largely neglected platform, and why reverse engineering of protocols is often the only way you can have your own decent client instead of the neglected crap you're forced to use.
I believe this to be true too. They use all their marketing resources to get them boosted above all others.
I love Bones new phone. I was just watching Human Target and watched the winphone interface while Ames took and hung up her call. Normally they'd just push a button and you never see the screen. But Microsoft is paying for some good screen time.
I was probably the penultimate OS/2 fan. Huge respect for BSD after comparing the virtual memory subsystem TOTALLY by accident one day (when only 16meg of RAM was found in my system in a test) and KDE, Netscape, et. al. ran fine but my hard drive was thrashing (Linux PALED by comparison that day) but was barely noticeable.
I still dont use BSD but use Linux every day.
But BSD "it's not dead, after all!"? You put OS/2 in that list.
I came with 1.5. I was PLEASANTLY suprised they upgraded to 2.1. Lots of other phones released at the same time are going 2.2. This one was abandonded. Android 2.2 comes with tethering and Sprint doesn't want that (without fees).
I own one and am typing this on my android connected via wifi to the GuruPlug that is my access point at home. It has bluetooth also so I can connect to my Tomtom's linux console too!
I installed NT on a DEC Alpha. So I can safely put that on my resume as my only Windows experience. Few days later I wiped it and installed OSF/1 so I could do something useful with the machine. But there definitely was a port for Alpha and it worked (as in installed). I'm not sure my company bought it. Maybe it was a demo. We were definitely just a OSF/1, SCO, Linux, OS/2, & VMS shop. No real use for NT.
I'm currently playing with a Sheeva Plug PC and loving it. Add whatever storage you want on the USB port. I "think" it only consumes 2W of power in real use.

However, you just defined "Catch 22"...
Microsoft's money has no boundaries. Never has. Never will.
They will win the phone market too.

They will win. It is history.

Samsung or Sprint (I forget which) already stated that the Moment (which I am posting this from) will NOT be getting 2.2. We are STUCK with 2.1.
So when it was forked... There were 88 flaws...
Yeah but it says 88 flaws in the Android Kernel. Android runs the LINUX kernel.
So there are 88 flaws in the Linux kernel?
I know there are so many flaws in this statement, but cmon!?!

I thought not knowing a law was not a defense?
I am searching real hard to find this "bold statement"....
