See... that's exactly what is the problem, price gouging and price fixing makes the market sour. That's, ever so more the reason, why OEM's shouldn't allow them to bid as an equal to their competition. Everybody knows when Microsoft bids certain "small fries" drop out, causing the market to, once again, be filled with Microsoft's bigness.

The problem is they're enormous. They use their bigness to influence decisions on their venders and partners. For this very same reason, this is why they're always being sued by Countries and States and big companies like Real and Adobe and others. You just can't forget that they make up over 90% of the Desktop OS market, that percentage just won't go away because we're trying to think fairly.
JamesG
THEY'RE DOING THIS BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANT TO GET SUED AGAIN! I'm sick and tired of them making it sound like this is some new fangled approach they've created out of their labs of deep. Hearing crap from Microsoft about what they're going to ALLOW in the future just reminds me of their new approach on uumm... NOT BEING SUED OUT THERE DONKEY TAIL (AGAIN) By some State, Country, or big ass company like Google; they're just doing this because they know if they don't, that'll be the next big lawsuit debacle headed their way, there's no innovation there. I really REALLY hate Microsoft.
lol... I saw that I had an update ready to install and I was going to install it until I checked out groklaw and saw this news. Now I'm like darn, I should have turned off the auto updater when i had a chance to.
But, what does being a sex offender have to do with being a wifi thief? It's like saying "The man sold drugs to minors. IT's also reported that he is black". What does one thing have to do with the other? Child molesters aren't the only people who steal wifi just like black people aren't the only ones selling drugs to kids (I said aren't the ONLY ones).Was he looking at porn while sitting outside in his car? If not then one thing has absolutely nothing to do with the other.... And for the record, no I'm not a pedophile and yes I'm a piggybacker.

Here's the opportunity of a life time for Oracle to purchase a company who really wants to buy a linux OS. Before you flame me for thinking OpenSolaris is under the GPL (cause it's not), just here me out.
Oracle stated earlier this month that it was interested and attempting to purchase a Linux OS vender, namely Novell and Redhat. Of course this was spurred on by the acquisition of JBoss by Redhat and it certainly made Novell all squishy on the inside when they heard of the buy. Oracle has been wanting a OS for itself for some amount of time now and has been looking into buying into the open source community (I know... bbboooooooo!!!). This would be an opportunity for them to aquire Sun and take that crappy CDDL licensed OS and stick it under a it's own GPL compatible license.
Unfortunately, there is still some software code that is in Solaris that can't find it's owner and there's still some SCO code lingering around in there also. They couldn't put it under the GPL because that would cause an epidemic of lawsuits that would be even bigger than the SCO vs. IBM case. That doesn't mean they can't put it under it's own GPL compatible license like Sun didn't even try and do, start a venture of ownership of lost code, and a swap out SCO code, if possible.
It seems like a lot of work but it's still something very possible and delightful for the Oracle shark to tear into.
If Microsoft could aquire a hardware company, it would be Dell... hands down. If it purchased a processer chip, it would be Intel, obviously.
If you were sooo versatile and sooo innovative, why haven't you really put any muscle behind the adoption of linux (like your competition figured out how to do a long long time ago)? Or any other open source OS for that matter? Why haven't you done much with OSDL besides just being there? Sure, you've done something (some things = enough to save face) but you've hardly done enough to say you're an innovative beacon for developers and hobbiests alike.
Face it lapdog, your place is beside your owners... Intel(not completely the devil) and Microsoft.
JamesG... TINK! (As I sit here typing this on my Inspiron 2500 dual booting Gentoo and SUSE.)
Ok, for starters, Why in god's name would anybody have a carring interest in what she looks like and where she gets the funding for her website from? It's not what she looks like or how old she is, it's what she says and how she rallies the open source community that makes the difference. How can you post somebody's phone number and address online, what happens if this person isn't the person you claim she is? Then what? And even if she is this person, who by the way, prefers anonymity so we should respect that, what does it matter how old she is or all these other things of nonsense?
I'm very upset and am posting this message in protest to Mrs. O'Gara and her stewards for her level of non-professionalism and her high level of stupidity.
Just because the site was defaced doesn't mean someone from the linux community did it. Frankly, if they don't know how to secure their website then they deserve a good defacing cause after all, this isn't their first attack. You think you'd learn from the first time.
This smells like twisted sco PR to me.

LMAO! I feel the exact same way. I have no problem with Sun opening up anything, I'd just wish McNealy would stop with the double-sided coments and stay out that damned blog of his (it's just full of foolish talk and opinions that don't even matter).
It sounds to me microsoft wants some of the limelight that OSS has at the moment. One thing though, I wonder why, if "linux can be out proformed by windows"(as they say), why would they even try to consider making some software packets on the linux side? Sounds to me like a conflict of interest.
Micro$oft, you'll still be a stingy fat guy in a pool full of angry kids.
P.S. How many people think microsoft was the one downloading those projects that many times?... seeing how those P.O.S. software bits they've submitted under the GPL is just that... P.O.S.
Ok, I'm so sick and tired of everyone jumping on the GPL. Please, remember that the GPL licence wasn't created for large companies to squeeze into, bump elbows, and then try and change it... no. It was created so that people could use software freely and change the source code freely and share software freely.
If a company or person does not the GPL, DON'T USE IT! Plain and simple. The GPL was first, not the OSS business model.
Hey dip-shit, that was the second post, maybe you should get a clue and realize that other people can still reply to the first message... sabbatical you say?... yeah, maybe YOU should take one yourself.
p.s. Up Yours!
people don't take in concideration that microsoft still is number one in the market, so really, people are still use to MS technology and don't really have a care in the war between linux and microsoft.

I just downloaded it. It's pretty buggy but it has great potential.
Yep, that's why the saying goes, "Fear makes the stubborn jackass move". Arrogance only befalls the larger fish. JamesG
