I am really surprised that even after the company has been declared a monopoly and in violation of anti-trust laws, they have the nerve to come up with a design that would might probably make previous Windows versions incompatible and still integrate third-party features into the OS. It is almost as if they are Bill feels like he cannot be harmed, or he might may be he just threw more money to shutup the breucratic bastards in D.C.
--- Down with the current ruling party. They suck
must have been paid well to write such bullshit, or maybe just one of those people "Duh! What is a computer?" kinda person. This article presents Bill as the savior of the world.
Seems to be that the government's ever expanding powers are being challenged very little now-a-days. Soon they will be tracking everything, and anyone that wants privacy will be charged with trying to hide something.
I went to college and graduated, though not at the top of the class or anything. I was never really interested in school, and I have wanted to be a programmer since the first time I got my hands on a computer. But I do have to agree that school has giving me some valuable insight will be. The best part is that I got my summer internship as a programmer. So school is the best way out to the world.
So they've created a version of Windows without some of the bloat. Great. But can't we do this ourselves?...because if someone tried to give away or even sell such a version, they would have to go through M$ and this would definitely cause problems with all the fees and restrictions. Besides, I am sure that is not in their own interest to have someone point out that a smaller, simpler version can be sold.

we are talking about someone's personal problems. Everyone needs to make their own decisions in life. How about some real news now!!!

Not some stupid bill that restricts sales. Just because I can't buy it doesn't mean I won't play anymore. Oh the possibilities of obtaining software.
I would try to buy out other companies that showed any signs of innovation. Oh wait...
