Because other developers tend to diregard MS warnings and use APIs and interfaces clearly marked as non-portable or "for old compatibility only, to be removed."
AOL will not do such a thing, not until Mozilla becomes stable enough to even begin competing with current versions of IE.
Preinstalling Mozilla in its current state is like asking for customer support nightmare scenario.
Developers can much productive knowing that IE ActiveX component is available on every Windows box.
What you are simply proposing is uncertainty that made Linux such a shitty platform for desktop applications.
You know what ? One could call this "a different point of view" but in view of 70 years of various experiments with having Goverment supply "welfare" I am just gonna call you stupid.
Well, there is a disagreement in scientific community as to the real roots of global warming.
Ad hoc solutions proposed at places like Kyoto do noting to solve the real problem.
I am sure they are for somebody doing something, specially since it sounds like a nice thing that won't effect them much.
However, they will change their tone if doing "more" will turn into less energy available for them and other limitation in daily life.
Trust me on this one: as soon as it hits home, people will change their minds.
You truly do seem to believe in superiority of government sponsored and run enterprises.
After 70 years of various attempts at having this done on large scale all over the world, we can safely conclude that it DOES not work
Amazing there are people who still believe this stuff.
It is going to be funny to watch MS introducing and actually implementing concept of that "long standing Sun effort."
I wonder how Sun CEO will react to this seeing his "child" being finally properly implemented after being fucked over for years inside of his own company.
Oh, so according to your sig you would love to have Gore as your president.
Trial lawyers and "scum" you mention were single biggest contributor to his campaign.
In fact, Democrats were always champions of lawyers cause ( even demonstrated that very recently with their HMO bill.)
After 20 years of welfare state and billions of dollars spend on "helping the poor" not much have changed.
We have still the same levels of poverty as we had before any governmental programs were in place and everything was handled by private charities.
In light of these results, reasonable human being would conclude that social spendings ( welfare) are completely ineffective but no, you still play that old "spending on poor" song.
Seriously, what gives ?
So where do fuck do you think all that wealth comes from?
From fucking corporations and people working for them.
How fucking incredibly stupid some people are, it is amazing.
Oh and you know perfectly how much is enough for people and t consequently at what point the rest of society should start robbing them of their income.
Move your ass somewhere else ( sounds like Europe would be perfect place for people like you.)
To put it simply, most Americans do like this kind of state we have here and there is nothing you can do about it.
PS. Your oldfashioned cries about welfare mothers, poverty in US etc... are pretty much urban ( or leftist) legend.
No matter how much you try you CANNOT help people who don't want to be helped.
Sure there is a difference.
If people don't want to pay for something they do not get to use it, while with pirated software, they do get the benefits of using software without paying for it.
If you think something is too expensive you either forget about it or save up money over a period of time and buy it.
With pirated software there is no incentive to save up at all.
I know one of them which after 100th beating run from her husband.
I guess she refused to be "well cultured" girl anymore.
BTW. If a woman can get killed for venturing outside the house without husband knowledge I am sure you going end up with one scared human being.
( a Iran style cultured human being.)

Hehe. Force them to live among Rodney Kings of the world and even your liberal friends would cheer cops beating this asshole.
Sure it is. If one tries to replace MP3 with something better that is a very valid comparison.

Fallacious ?
A pinto created as a "free" product is still a pinto.
Nothing fallacious here.
It wasn't all that better for what Windows 95 was designed for; light office/home style use.

Heh, Japanese themselves were part of swastika-circle ( or rather triangle.)
How is that "more honorable" than employing German scientists?

Frankly, I truly doubt some of them could afford luxury of having full blown airline company

Not that easy. ...
P&P specs call for unique assigned IDs, names etc
That doesn't look like it was done in the the name of "interoperability" at all ...
While I do know about that law I don't think it would apply here.
One day you will become like that person arguing about 12 cents etc ..
It is only question of time and a bit of bad luck.
This idea has been tried in 50s and it never realy worked all that well, so I doubt we are talking here only about "habits" ...
