I really wish that apple would open up to x86, and this case the x86-64. I really wouldn't mind using Mac OS X on my box, but Apple refuses to port it.

Passport vs. Plan 9

Yes, something about Microsoft, or anyone for that matter, having all of your personal information (credit cards, Social Security Number, age, sex, etc. etc.) doesn't settle well with me. What gaurentee do we have that such companies won't sell our information for profit, or someone from the company intenionally creating an insecurity to exploit the system? It is awfully like the identification system they are implementing in Japan currently and is much too centralized for my taste. There is way to much power in Passport like systems...
When I went to read more to read the comments, there was an add for Microsoft Visual Studio.NET right below the story. Is slashdot trying to tell us something?;)
Yeah, I have a feeling that Microsoft will do something really bad with this, something akin to their Digital music protection crusade. Well, that fact that it will be like a win-modem is enough.
Microsoft did sue OpenGL because they claimed that OpenGL included some things in OpenGL 2.0 that appear in DirectX, some very generic things too (sorry, I can't quite remember them).
I heard something about how Lindows doesn't quite comply with many linux standards. Does anyone know about this? Bascially, I have heard that Lycoris, a linux distrobution that is incredebly similar to Lindows is a better choice because it is a lot closer to standard linux. Course, I could be very wrong.

Microsoft, violating anti-trust laws and court settlements? Well, now I have seen everything.

Don't fear the penguin!
Just like id and just like epic games.
Unless there is an environmentally safe way of removing the methane, and I seriously doubt there is, leave it alone.
good point
that is an incredebly small number, it just goes to show how much of a monopoly microsoft has
do you think the delorean went back in time?
Those crazy deloreans are at it again, travelling through time, defying physics. Man, what a car.
