Indeed. However, Microsoft has a poor record of interoperability which only improved recently. So it needs to regain trust. The way to regain trust is to actually improve interoperability and standard conformance, no mere marketing and public affairs campaign. Real credibility stems from real achievements. I am sure Microsoft is able to become an interoperability leader.
RSF are free to write an index as they like. The interesting aspect here is that publishers do not want an open plattform and but want content control. Yet, they do not want censorship.
Not quite. Ban means penalty code. That is something completely different than indexing. And even in the case of indexing a political majority cannot influence it.
Cocoa and Openstep seems virtually the same. OpenStep is the spec. But with GNUstep you can also develop applications for Cocoa that run on other operating systems. Pretty awsome. I wish Gnustep would implement Cocoa.
Vista looks good to me, Win 7 is Vista SP3. But sure, also Ubuntu 10.04 is on equal footing if not better usability wise. All operating systems suck. Mac OS X gets overrated.
No, that is part of the usual Mornington Crescent game. New arguments get invented and the goal post is moved. Max did play according to the rules, tried to satisfy all requests.
The best we have so far is "DIB engine should be integrated into GDI32". This is not a problem, because both Max and AJ share this goal, but if I understand correctly, Max doesn't want to invest the effort (which is a lot) until the current design is validated by inclusion into upstream source.
Asshole! The point is of course that Ben Klein is also no authorative source, because the master has no time to speak his mind. So everyone keeps guessing. What about simple commercial interests or incompetence?
Read the history and read bug 421. There is no way for an inclusion of any DIB engine. When all requirements are satisfied new requirements will be made up.

Well. ACTA is negotiated in Switzerland at WIPO next week, not in the US.
It is no problem to run applications for Windows XP from 2001 with the latest Win 7 but try this with Ubuntu 10.04 and SuSe 7.0
No, Microsoft now takes interoperability very serious. Your mindset is so 1990ths.

I remember Guido Sohne tried to sell free software bar codes to the people of Africa. He is now dead. You can't make a living from that.
Government spending is not lost, large parts of the US budget are borrowed.

So, IE6 users use it because they prefer IE6 over IE9?
Why doesn't anyone have an issue with Microsoft's "lockin" for XBox games?
Because XBox is vintage technology.
Not quite. Ban means penalty code. That is something completely different than indexing. And even in the case of indexing a political majority cannot influence it.
Indeed, and it pays off. But the main problem is the insane spin in the media: iPad will rescue the publishing industry.
It is technical censorship. That is something completely different.
Most parts of the US are not affected by the oil spill.
Nurse! Nurse!
This reminds me of the Monty Python brain specialist
So what, then ship a SP with IE8
Ubuntu 10.04 is the first to feel good.
So what? Just another Service Pack.
1. Or develop a small script for website users: Whenever you use IE6 you get prompted to upgrade.
2. Get is on a popular porn site
3. IE6 dead
Anyway, Ubuntu 10.04 is just great and it is not getting worse.
In any case, they just have to issue a service pack which replaces IE6 by IE9.

And it is gone. Flight Simulator is discontinued, so the whole market will be taken over by open source.
