You CAN'T fight spam with bills - You can fight spam with technology. It's like we've known all along, a few nerds can get ALOT more done than a gaggle of politicians. Now if I can just figure out why we're still paying these guys...
In capitalism, your dollar is your vote. If a product's use is restricted by contract to the point that it won't do what you want to do with it -- don't vote for it! Spend your dollars elsewhere. When enough people do the same thing, only then, will change occur. If everybody stopped sending MS their money, soon they'd be just like SCO. {whine on} If you don't send me your money, I'll sue you! {whine off} I'd like to sell tickets to THAT show!
When all is said and done, GUIs will have little to do with it. People will choose a desktop that will run the applications that they want/need. The GUI is just a preference (like MS or Apple now). We need to educate people not to send emails in proprietary formats (.doc comes to mind). Developers need to be educated that Linux can run their product better and make money. So long as developers think free means no profit, there's no incentive to write the kind/quality of applications that will make Linux a force to be reckoned with on the desktop.
These bugs are mine! They're my IP. If you want to continue using these bugs you must pay me alot of money or I will sue you. In fact I have copyrighted bugs - ALL the bugs belong to me. If you have any bugs, you must send me all of your money today. Besides, I'll soon be out of a job and need the money.

Linux ports you! So two years and XP is vaporware on this thing - time to Open Source.
The beagle has landed ... Bwaa ha ha ha ha. That's too funny!
Such a nice young company ... Slashdotted in their prime ... tis a sad, sad shame.
Imagine a beuwolf cluster of ... oh ... it's a phone? -- never mind.
Oh sure! You're laughing, Darl's laughing and my karma's sinking like quicksand you insensative clod!
How is parent funny?
Humph
Morons with mod points! Flame me now!

They don't call it "OZ" for nothing!
More trailer trash web sites, THATS what we need.
I think if you use free software, and don't like it - you should get back everything you spent ... Oh wait...

I make exactly $0 from my home network. They are welcome to 9% of that.
Off our medication again, are we?
Never heard of QRP? Low power radio, no voice. Uses Morse code. Software sends/receives and translates to text.
Actually MSDOS - to run their Morse code software.
Yeah! Hold your fingers about an inch apart and say ..."sobig"
All SCO code (Caldera) is just a derivative work of Tetris, must not pass Go, and go directly to jail, or Pacman will gobble them up.

... to a billion dollar problem. In countries without free speech, they just take 'em out back and pump a couple slugs in'em. No problem!
Imagine a Beuwolf cluster of 600 Apple IIe's!
For the demise of the world's formost virus transmission protocol. Snif.
