They had the documentation forced into existence thanks to the courts. Without a doubt it is 100% accurate.
I wouldn't be worried about anything here - nothing MS can do can fix this, and the timing is as perfect as it gets considering windows 8 adoption is poor and businesses are sticking with windows 7.
that was the first thing I was thinking as well - this isn't even a benefit for anyone other than those in windows 8. Also, GPL (even V2) in windows for things that go in the actual windows store seems pretty much impossible.
those who are capable of regulating this are those who take advantage of it.........
so they wont' do shit unless they're about to go out of power. Not unlike how Obama was ready to restrict drones substantially right before he won the election and immediately shelved that.
I don't know what you're thinking, but easily more than 50% of the global population cannot stand the MAFIAA or the BPI. SOPA/PIPA really woke people up on the matter. All you have to do is explain that BPI supports SOPA as an arm of the RIAA, and the connection is made. So no, you are mistaken.
I'm actually hoping (noone knows till we find out the results), but I'm hoping that the only way google would sign on with apple is to defuse patent warfare, not "just protect ourselves".
thank you. I typed up replies to troll garbage for sake of "not letting their factless post sit", but I think what you said is more succinct and does the job.
Really, you act like google is doing something bad, while pulling a false flag troll, and saying that google has done too much since they were doing search?
Then you mention BING, which is not something Microsoft was always doing, and yet trashtalk google?
this is the laziest troll I hvae ever seen, made more explicit with a title of "GPLfella".
MS has made non-secret deals with the NSA, CSI (who don't matter) and FBI. If you think MS has shame, you forget they've been doing this for 20 years. Why do we defend google? because they're fucking honest, and actually improve their products. Is MS? You tell me after shit like http://www.pcworld.com/article/2018707/microsofts-droidrage-twitter-campaign-backfires.html . Is Apple? You tell me when they're losing lawsuits that were basically patent extortion attempts all brought around by the rockstar consortium consisting of apple/ms/nokia (basically everyone not google).
So yeah, umm, let's act like google's the bad one here, and not even look at apple either? If they're together on this the question is if the patent warfare can be defused, not "omg google is evil", you lazy fucking troll.
if you think you have to upgrade to do IPv6, you're either foolhardy or not buying the right equipment in the first place. If you buy the right stuff no upgrades should be required for IPv6 functionality, including hiring people.
Umm, no. Steam is situated to take advantage of a gaming convergent xbox + desktop combination with their big picture mode. Catch? It works with Linux.
Microsoft creating an exclusively console based environment and stopping desktop development would guarantee they fade away from relevance.
That doesn't matter. Not only that, but nobody can ever possibly know because Microsoft refuses to ever give honest answers about marketshare and never has. Sold licenses doesn't equate to active users doesn't equate to number of activated devices.
That's not the point. The point is that there's a false compromise here - nobody asked to have their information given to amazon. So dealing with the result was never acceptable. Users never agreed to compromise, as this is a dick (and dictator) move.
52 pounds implies that a seriously small subset of the RT marketshare bought his game. That is easily the fault of the developer, not the platform. I still think RT will be a failure because BIOS DRM is asinine.
we're not talking about putting your head directly on a radio tower's transceiver. That doesn't mean it has to cause explicitly brain cancer, either. Ear problems? head problems? skin problems? nobody knows.
The answer as to the danger has yet to be confirmed in the US, but other countries appear to imply that their initial results simply warrant more research.
Surely that's great for your health. It's not like it's known to cause lung cancer or anything. Or that we should try to make as little as possible from plastic, considering it is (in it's cheapest forms) manufactured from oil, right?

hahaha :) a ton != all.
Android (linux) is so far ahead of Microsoft and Apple in sales that your trolling is comedy.
umm, you realize that a ton of troll accounts were created in the 175k-230k UID range, right?
He basically forgot to click the Anon box.
windows is fading out of relevance, but never let a lazy microsoft troll poo poo on the bashing of an irrelevant OS!
I wonder what trolls are going to move to in the next year or two?

well you have the picture
you have the picture taken in different light
you have the same picture taken in
aww hell, the patent office successfully never read 1100 patents and just rubberstamped them. That's basically what it was.

Of course, that's because it was denied when he applied for it in the first place.

No, I'm not. I'm saying the actual marketshare of RT is simply irrelevant to the statement. You're misreading into a statement I did not make.
easy answer #1:
no pirating is required, no "stealing" is required, and since the OS is free it's always going to be kept up to date.
Nothing other than Linux is free to keep up to date, and allows you to do so essentially for the life of the hardware.
That doesn't matter. Not only that, but nobody can ever possibly know because Microsoft refuses to ever give honest answers about marketshare and never has. Sold licenses doesn't equate to active users doesn't equate to number of activated devices.
"we have violated your privacy by default" is not a phrase reflective of actual choices being presented. It's exploiting users.
That's not the point. The point is that there's a false compromise here - nobody asked to have their information given to amazon. So dealing with the result was never acceptable. Users never agreed to compromise, as this is a dick (and dictator) move.

Why yes, the microwave in my kitchen is the same as an industrial one, right? /facepalm
I have never taken a gun safety class but this was the first thing that came to mind for me as well.

Lazy obvious troll is lazy and obvious.
how about melting plastic?
