A lot of farmers knew about the patents, but a lot didn't. You must consider that there are small farmers using their products, and if you ask some of them about "do you know what a patent is?" they will think is a kind of fruit.:-) I doubt even who knows about the patents could imagine that they will become victims of it on this level. Monsanto told them that Roundup (glyphosate) was safe and biodegradable (1), I guess what kinds of other advantages and lies they told them when they started to sell their seeds.
And even organic farmers are in danger (2)(3). They affirm that their fields are cross-pollinated with genetic material from neighboring farms growing Monsanto crops. When the question is money, people are unfortunately creative.:-(

They are moving fast:
The CP is, and will be, available to everyone now and in the future for the specifications to which it applies.
Seems that there were a lot of changes since the announce yesterday. How can we know when the final version is released?
Here is something to think about:
Q: Does this CP apply to all versions of the specification, including future revisions?
A: The Community Promise applies to all existing versions of the specifications designated on the public list posted at/interop/cp/, unless otherwise noted with respect to a particular specification.
Does Microsoft conspicuously fail to answer its own question?
Seems that was the way that Miguel used to see Avalon, and the almost-defunct WinFS (check out ReiserFS4 metadata, btw), but now, surprise, is not!
Check this out:
"They are all fine points of view, but what makes Longhorn dangerous for the viability of Linux on the desktop is that the combination of Microsoft deployment power, XAML, Avalon and.NET is killer. It is what Java wanted to do with the Web, but with the channel to deploy it and the lessons learned from Java mistakes." http://primates.ximian.com/~miguel/archive/2004/Ap r-24.html
"Avalon will be a lot easier to write than the previous ActiveX; it's a lot prettier, so when organizations are using Longhorn-based machines, which I assume will be sold everywhere by 2008, it's going to be increasingly hard for the rest of us to get there unless we have an implementation of an equivalent technology." http://www.theserverside.net/common/printthread.ts s?thread_id=27453
So, what was all that crap that he told us "fear Microsoft, you morons, we need something like they have to have more 'competition' there" about?
A big FUD? A way to try to implement and waste time with, all we know, some probabily vapourware or with a product that does not work well?
Think about WinFS. He also used to say that it will be the doom for all the Linux users don't have a stuff like that, but even the Microsoft users will not have a stuff like that, at least the way all the utopic dudes wants to!
Now that the technology owner is in trouble with it, he says that it's a lot of shit? Oh, come on.
The big point here is that, with some effort, you don't need Microsoft programs anymore to do what your company needs to run your computers. And we don't need people trying to convince us that WE NEED THEM if we really don't need. Gimme a break.
Let's rewrite all our apps with C#.
Better yet, let's rewrite and compile the Linux kernel using C#.
Maybe is enough for Miguel or he wants to put C# on Mars also?;-)
Well, don't you guys forget that there is only about 10% of the.NET on the ECMA. And there is a thing called "sub-license prohibition" where m$ tells you that you can use the stuff they provide, but can't redistribute it on a different license. So, goodye poor GPL. If you guys wants to be sure are writing free software, move away from this.
Here on Brazil we have this kind of machine, check here: http://www.procomp.com.br/projesp.asp
Unfortunelly the page is available just on Portuguese, but for the core stuff you can use a web translator.
Its not a perfect system, but it help us a lot here.

Patents sucks a lot these days. Software, food, drugs ...
Not yet, but if they do, they can win.

"Longhorn has kind of a scary technology called Avalon, which when compounded with another technology called XAML, it's fairly dangerous. And the reason is that they've made it so it's basically an HTML replacement. The advantage is it's probably as easy as writing HTML, so that means that anybody can produce this content with a text editor."

:-p
Miguel's a leader of the community who deserves our respect."
Will help about this if he don't say things like "Unix is a world of pain" or "I love Longhorn" (yes, he did).
He's the guy that don't works on Microsoft but really loves them and say good stuff about them in all his interviews. For me, he can go work there.
Let's rewrite all our apps with C#. Better yet, let's rewrite and compile the Linux kernel using C#. Maybe is enough for Miguel or he wants to put C# on Mars also? ;-)
