I bet you that's going to bring more lawyers nocking down on Tobisha and Microsoft if it turns out true. The EULA only refers to the Windows software. If Tobisha wants to extend the EULA, they have to draft their own. I highly doubt Microsoft wants the DOJ adding *more* evidence to prove that it's a monopoly by saying that it's now controlling the hardware itself on a mass majority of the systems out there.
RSA is calling for it to be open sourced, and subject to a lot of peer reviewing. That would be a good thing, especially with how PGP got reviewed. And since she's in Ireland, it should be OK to export the source code (if not she can mail off printed copies!)
PIRATES OF SILICON VALLEY Description: I heard TNT was making a film about Microsoft billionaire Bill Gates. Can you give me some more information? Solution: "Pirates of Silicon Valley" starring Noah Wyle as Apple Computer founder Steve Jobs and Anthony Michael Hall as Bill Gates is an upcoming TNT Original and will air on TNT in May 1999. Joseph Slotnick will co-star as Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak. Screenwriter Martyn Burke ("The Pentagon Wars") will write and direct the film.
I guess IBM is jumping on the OS bandwagon whole-heartedly, or at least mostly. First AFS a while back (which the offical announcement recently when it was "safe"), and now this. Isn't Lotus Notes being ported too?
Netcom's been sighted for using an abuse "pui" bot that "tries" to understand headers, and fails miserablly to detect faked headers. Let's hope Mindspring can gather a white hat with their abuse department.

Not a lawyer, and a bit scattered there.

Besides, there's a floppy disk drive that attaches to USB availible from Apple. I asked that at CompUSA.
Great, first Bill, and now Bill. It looks like the DOJ isn't taking any bull from MS's lawyers.

Can Microsoft survive? Should we let it?
The programming section of Palm Central (http://www.palmcentral.com) has a good basis of what you need.

Do it, it's worth at least releasing it to the public. Announce it to news.admin.net-abuse.usenet.

Goodie, now we get emergency use for a while!
