But there's no atmosphere on Mars! That's an awfully expensive way to kill millions of people!
I do not think millions of people will die.
As a long line of Mars movies have educated me, only about 1 to 10 people die because of no atmosphere. Then the hero(es) fixes it all up and Mars has atmosphere. And everyone is saved.
If there are enough companies to sue MS over a long period of time, suddenly that huge war chest of theirs will start dwindling simply on lawyer's fees alone. Couple this with the loss of expected revenue from the whole licencing and 'why would I want to upgrade from 2k' issues (that's not to say that they won't make a bundle from XP, just less than they intended), and suddenly you may have a company that has to play by more of the rules than it would like because it hasn't the horde of money to throw at whoever or whatever they like.
This is a step in the right direction, for Be and to bring MS into line.
I'm going to keep my employment by writing code that will attack those smarty-own-code-writing computers.
And if that fails, we shall see if these wonderful machines can withstand the attack of a human with a sledgehammer!
And that cyber-intelligence is no substitute for a physical presence and a hand on the power switch
