Under WTO rules, Antigua has the right to a remedy
I think the US might have it's own remedy. A free, all expenses paid trip to Vegas (VEGAS BABY!!). Our man, uh.. Vito will be there to pick up and give you a free ride... um, the rest is a surprise.
And if every PC sold from a retail outlet to a widow came with an option of Microsoft Windows XP or any of the dozen or so Linux distros that are more popular then the others - what percentage do you think MS would garner? Seriously, do you think the average home user would pick anything other then the platform they've grown accustomed to? Right, wrong or indifferent, people aren't comfortable making a home OS switch without the dedicated retail outlet and onsite expertise that Apple offers. Your average Best Buy/Circuit City/Walmart buyer is going to pick MS and we both know it. You and I may strip it off and load , but the masses aren't concerned with the same things you and I are.

We all had a good laugh.

There is no denying, not matter what life form you assume, the undeniable draw of a bucket of extra crispy. If you get it the right part of town, you can get spicy hot as well.

End result is always extinction; I don't like this game let's play something else.
Can we make a hole in the ozone so some of that CO2 can leak out and make everything right again?
