Because they are afraid to "get into" anything that his/her competitors do noy use or understand. PHB's can only compare what they know or what others have, they have no idea what else there is. So, basically is all FEAR.
"sustained downloads of 375Kb/s is now possible...that's just shy of 3Megabit..."
This I do not understand. If 375Kb/s = 375,000 b/s, then how can this be more than 3,000,000 b/s? Define: Megabit: Approximately one million bits of data
IBM is actually trying to work with the Open Source community, at least to be thought of as a "nice guy". It would be very interresting to find out their real plans. Does anybody smell "conspiracy" here?
Why then is the patent office so moronic when it comes to patenting ideas that are general knowledge?
Money! IMHO, I tend to think that $$ is handed to the people involved in granting a patent by the applicant. That's the only explanation for this whole situation.
I visited the microsoft site to get the free power point viwer and got this message:

I use Firefox 0.8., what was I thinking!
I buy a movie at the store, and want to play at my pc. It's my movie, so I can give it, or lend it, to whoever I want. Why is this illegal? If I then choose to "lend" my movie over a network, how is it different than doing it in person?
So when the latest virus attacks MSFT systems, your life will stop until they can issue a patch. But...they will pledge to restore it to the point before the attack.:-)
In order for Linux to appeal to the masses, these "choices" must be available in an easily installable "package". It would be great to install only those options you need, want or require. And, I think most important, is the time it takes to set up the system.
It used to be SCO, refered to as Old SCO, and it's now SCO Group. But, what does SCO stand for?
SCO (Old): Santa Cruz Operation -- the old
SCO Group: Standard Criminal Organization -- the present
SCO Group: Successful Criminal Organization -- what they acheive to be

You used to "worry" about "Big Brother" watching you. Now there will be two "Big Brothers" watching over us at all times. Whew! I feel secure.

but, why hardware? Ahh...because he does profit from it. What the heck, let all hardware vendors go down just pay for software, must be his thought.
It is like he is saying that cars and trucks will be free, just pay for the gasoline, which he happens to sell.
And hardware vendors still support this insane man!
What has the world come to!
