It's still not MS' problem. Said companies didn't enter in a contract with MS to guaranty 100% compatibility for their MAPI enabled apps. The MAPI will get revised. It's inevitable. MS' doing what they can to keep backwards compability. That's the only guaranty MS can give.
Also note that anyone can have access to early builds of Windows thru MSDN subscriptions. Which enabled MAPI app vendors to get compatible with new versions of the MAPI.
Even if MS have access to a few undocumented MAPI calls, it's still their right to have those undocumented. Not to mention the little time MS has before someone trips over those few undocumented MAPI calls.
Stupid corrupt bureaucrats. A monopoly trying to punish a free market made winner.
Euros need better paying jobs? Get the government out of the market. Government doesn't have any business trying to run companies. They can't even run their own stuff.
and then I'll take you seriously about that "Games for Windows" bit. I don't want to hear about your other games made by other companies on your Steam platform. The game should alert me if there is an update at start up like in Blizzard games. I don't want to install your store.
Wrong tools: C and C++ language.
Overcomplicated APIs: Win32, HTML, drivers, JAVA, etc...
Lack of standards enforcement: HTML disaster.
All this makes it easy to derail any project.
Yes, Apple just walked in and noticed you were incompetently selling the same old crap with slight hardware improvements over the last half decade, and decided to kick you out. In reality, the iPhone is just another cellphone with flashy graphics. Everything features as been done before. What newer bits Apple brought forward are just slight software improvements. And old iPod annoyances like non-removable batteries and high prices.
IBM probably knows every vendor in Taiwan. IBM's list of PC inventions are incredibly long. IBM has tons of engineers and soft developers. They could have easily made an OpenFirmware ATX mobo with PowerPC CPUs. And flooded the market with it.
It's IBM. And when push comes to shove, you won't find them there leading the way. They'll be the guys making alliances out of fear of failure. It's how Compaq ran them over. And how Microsoft butchered their Mainframe and Mini divisions with NT.
After all, it's the same guys that said that no one would ever want a device that plays MP3s.

Hmm... You're not seeing the whole thing.

MS doesn't owe me, you nor anyone else nothing.
How does not sharing MS File/Sharing specs harm competition again?
7300 is pretty low end stuff.
How about updated NVIDIA 8800 class video cards?

Back in december, my Wal-Mart had a few on their shelves. I still can't find one now.
I should have bought it using my C.C.

I agree. There's nothing innovative about any of these startups.
Intellectual property also includes copyrights.
Playing the victim game brings more cash.
will use it. Computers are banned for Cubans.
He is making this up. I don't get any UAC prompts at all. Only when installing software.
Apple product do suck. They suck the money outta wallets pretty fast.
You get the labeled troll for disrespectin' the Mac Overlord. Ever read the posts saying "We welcome our..."?
That those kids probably all use except OpenOffice. What's the point of this again other than making noise?

South Korea never lost any "freedom." They just settled for one OS and made it a standard for everyone.
2 years buys a lot of time to find a better name than some fisher price type naming. I thought Apple was an artistic company?
Red Flag Linux looks exactly like Windows XP.

I bet AMD Live! is pretty much the same: repackaged stuff passing as a marketing gimmick.
And it's miserable "no balls" culture.

I demand that this ex-SUSE guy be fired immediatly.
His opinion goes against ours (the most popular and only good one).

That's a great perl script.
a little bug seemed to have been introduced. When playing DiVX movies, the brightness is very low. And the screen seems pixelated.
