that article... what a load of crap.
that lisence thing. LMAO! "it exists but cant proove it because its a secret". ah ha.
i know people who would leak that lisence agreement if they were in that particular part of the industry. and im positive someone would have by now. after all, its been happening for some time.
are all hardware vendors that easy to scare?
maybe MS is playing unfairly and using its power to squelch compitition, but there are many pluses for windows that linux and BeOS and the like cant comete with at the moment. the major thing being software support.
on BeOS i didnt find anything that matched what windows software offered me.
i kept BeOS installed though and kept checking the software sites. nothing. same with linux, though that lasted a shorter time on my computer than BeOS. windows has the usability, ease of use, the software and if you buy the right version its stable (NT4/win2k).
its big, its good its goign to stay. and the secret lisence thing is pap.
unfortunate that who ever makes the 'business' desitions for MS is a %^@&*. but its a capitalist thang... MS is in the position that every business wants to be in. maybe when they are in that position they will be more subtle.
