Being an unfortunate UK rail user, I get through at least a paperback book a week - I either buy these for 30p (or whatever) from charity shops or swap books at work with similar readers.
But on ALL the book covers (no matter which book), it is always a 'best seller', 'No.1 seller', 'award winning', 'Now a latest Hollywood film', etc. etc.
So, Internet or not, somebody buys them 'new'. I never do, nor ever have done.
I dunno who is ripping who off here? WTF does MS care about it? Naff all, the same they care about any other spammer (unless, of course, the world adopts _their_ closed source, licensed, and patented anti-spam design, designed to run the internet mail base).
What is not mentioned yet is MS get so much hassle from patents due to them ripping people off/copying and claiming as their own - we have all seen it over the years - entering an agreement, signing NDA, getting the IP, then shitting on the [usually small] Company so they go out of existance.
Also, why are MS patenting over 3000 'patents' a year, if they do not like them/use them? It is their arsenal, and with the cash pile they have, over time nobody else will be able to compete, even if the IP is original - as MS will have some fingers in the that patent pie already.
Of course, money to buy what you need from Government etc. needs to be said no more.
The guy from Ubuntu is dangerously mistaken (Neville Chamberlain: "I have here in my hand a piece of paper...")
"Fully-patched computers running Windows XP with Service Pack 2 and Internet Explorer 6.0 are vulnerable to this issue, security monitoring company Secunia said in an advisory. Secunia rates the problem as "moderately critical" but says people can avoid the risk by not using Microsoft products anymore."
To be honest, being a sysadmin, users haven't a clue at work or home anyway, so I think that they feel 'safer' at work due to extra security measures is a dangerous false presumption.
I expect the real reason is that doing it at work doesn't bugger up THEIR computer at home, and as it is at work, it is then not their problem (cue feet up on desk reading newspaper 'sorry, my computer is not working, I am waiting on IT _again!!_).
No matter how many times you tell them, the same resultant behaviour remains.
SCO will be able to use this when then publish their 'millions of line of code' found in Linux. Obviously IBM will charge them $10,000,000 for it...

I still believe the whole issue of why they will not release certain criteria, and also the extreme delays they suffer fromis due to them using FOSS/OSS/GPL stuff.
Why re-invent the wheel (not that MS ever did, but you get my drift)?
I think they have certain stuff in their code _they_ cannot allow to be viewed due to this - hell, if you got a monopoly then what is there to be scared of? Nothing...
I would also say that I bet pr0n on the Internet is the only real Internet industry that makes *hard cash* everyday, rather than the otherwise 'dot/com' bubble money in useless stock values.
Are they allowed to vote? Over here in the UK, it is mandatory that all ethnics/immigrants/terrorists are allowed to vote (even if not living in UK) so that Tony Bliar and Co. can get in power again ~ indigious people are fed-up with all lies/corruption so don't vote as there is nobody to vote for.
"At times, Rogers asked for help from Haystack's neighbors, and in several instances replaced a certain brand of answering machine that was sending out a radio signal with one that did not interfere with the experiment. The interference caused by one person's stereo system was solved by having a part on the sound card replaced by the factory."
So how can they prove Mr. Alien doesn't have dodgy sound cards too, and these are giving false positives?
Very good point. One thing that *really* buggers up accountants is things being free with no spreadsheet 'cell' to accept NULL.
Unaccountability according to the business world.
Now to Linux users. How many? Who can guess? Nobody... Microsoft measure sales (and as it is almost illegal to sell a Computer without MS Windows [pre]-installed)...
MS don't get it that people use GNU/Linux because it is "free".
The propation war they like to think is a battle isn't at all. People/Company's are using it because it is there.
It is pissing in the wind.
The bad shame is the techy sites that relay 'news' to the common plebs are read by the common blebs, and don't know what the hell anyway.
I would say out of 'any company' Microsoft have the worse security record. In other fields of business (finance, banking, stock market, health, manufacture, aviation etc. etc.) with a record like Microsofts' you wouldn't last in business.

Oh wait, his brother already has!
The hackneyed saying; "Microsoft allowed people to use computers of which those people shouldn't be allowed NEAR a bloody computer".

When will people get the message?
... is the BBC heavily regulate (I will not say censor) these 'Have Your say' topics.
I try to post a few every few weeks, but they never get published. Just read some of the remarks and names, and you start to see a trend of bullshit.
Treat these as a you would a political broadcast funded by MS.
'Excell - this helps to run programs on your PC.' Ummm. And reading articles like this really helps the lusers too.
