First off; Stop writing Microsoft with a dollar sign. Your look like a moron.
You gota love the EULA - its much like the bible - theres lots of midly interesting stuff telling you what you can and can't do... Except for the "you can do..".
I have to laugh everytime I see 500/1000 dollar software for a free operating system. Not to say that people shouldn't make money with software. (Risking a/. lynching) I'm not even against Microsoft. But buying a $1000 package for a free OS on a ~$200 computer (what do you run linux on) is like putting a $10,000 cup holder in a pinto.
just my two cents.
ps. I typed this over the course of a week in DVORAK - you better rate it well! Daddy needs some karma.
'Microsoft EULA:
"All your rights are belong to us."'
I still use my index finger for lots of stuff! Ever try to pick your nose with your thumb? Butt? What about dialing a wall mounted phone? Not with my thumb.
LOL @ Lotus and the guy who decided to remain anonymous when posting this hogwash.
It's truly no surprise that AOL is inadequate for a huge corporation; it's inadequate for home users.
Why does every website have to say "AOL Users click here"? Because they refuse to give up there failed attempt to make the internet a system of "keywords".
Trying to sound calm is weak tactic to sound strong. Is it possible that Mundie has some strong points, or do we all have to team up and get vigilante on his ass?

What about ALIAS? Its OK too. I dig the chick from "Dude Wheres my car"! Anyone?
This is the biggest flamebait article I have seen in a long time. Its such bullshit - LONG BEFORE Media Player supported CDDB - Winamp, and all your other favorite pr0gs were downloading track info. The only difference is the non-MS ones ask for an EMAIL address!
I can't believe this. We can't turn to TEOMA - it stinks. Has anyone ever used Overture? I thought not. Its a bloody AD search engine. "What useless spam do you want to be flooded with?" ____________ [Flood ME]
I like spam!
I send spam, I believe it to be a powerfull marketing tool. Get over it. You all spend more time bitching about spam then you do deleting it.
Smoothwall is great, and nothing listed by this moron is a security problem: look it up all you linux hags.
This is a bad; review.
A poorly researched effort at becoming an intelligent sounding critical writer.
Comments on the MS/Linux satire:
"Bashing Microsoft because you think they're the evil empire is ridiculous. Find a GOOD reason why you don't like something, rather than it being "cool" not to like it. Microsoft makes excellent quality hardware (how many of us have an MS optical mouse on our desks, or a sidewinder gamepad?) and they make decent software that can take care of most of my common productivity tasks (and all of the office apps fit together so that I don't have to do some fancy finagling to get my data out of Excel and into Word or Powerpoint or whatever).
It's considered cool by the Linux Penguinistas not to like Microsoft, so a LOT of people take it upon themselves to talk about Microsoft like something foul you stepped in, without really having a reason other than "It's not Linux" or "It's not Mac". May I remind the Mac Zealots amongst us that without the assistance of Microsoft, Apple would not be the company that it is today? Don't get started on how Windows is a rip-off of MacOS.. Xwindows or KDE or any other desktop interface looks like that too - it's just a good way to work."

Oh Come on. Is the news to anyone?
"REALLY?! A webserver _LOGS_ what I'm doing? Not just any webserver.. A MSN one?"
Im in shock! Really.
Flamebait post.
The End.
Please stop submitting NYTimes articles, all you geeks should understand that people are already signed-up for enough crap on the net.

Would you actually read this if a free copy came in the mail? Isn't your own life boring enough for you?
That's an intelligent posting.
