from http://www.mslinux.com/ We are now offering the MS Linux Introductory CD at a special introductory price of only $249.99 (plus shipping and handling), if you order before it ships.
MS Linux is released under the provisions of the Gates Private License, which means you can freely use this Software on a single machine without warranty after having paid the purchase price and annual renewal fees.
What!? So let me get this stright MS is embracing Open Source yet it is not free downloadable and there are anual fees?
How about record companies sign bands that are fresh and innovative not the same old crap and perhapse overall record sales and legal downloading revenu will go up.
just got done watching the NBC live feed of the launch. It was far better then watching a news channel where you would have to deal with crappy comentators and commercials.
No one goes to an MMORPG to acvcually role play, at least not on any official servers. The problem is that there are too many people some who are roleplayers and some who are not and the roleplayers differ vastly in their view of what is proper roleplay. I'll take UO for example. The OSI servers were pretty much filled with non-roleplayers and worse yet powergamers and pure PvP players. But I still played because it was still fun not from an RP perspective but from just a gaming perspective. Since I also wanted to roleplay more I switched over to unofficial UO shards. I absolutly loved playing on unofficial RP servers in which people accually role played . The reason is because most of those servers were made up of small tight-nit communities. For RPGs less is more. so you can't have an MMO that is also an RPG.
But I still play MMORPGs such as WoW, I just don't expect going into it to RP, I just go to have fun and meet people and play with friends. If I want to RP then I'll play D&D (or any other tabletop) or a MUD.
Does this really matter? The answer is no. We all know this isint going to stop or even hinder most copywrite file sharing. It will just insure that all new programs will come with a disclamer saying that:
"this product is for the use of shareing files that are in no ways protected by any copywrite law. Any other use of this program is strictly prohibited."
This is just going to make program developers a bit more cautious and a bit more aware of the law.

Is it already autonomically correct or will that come in the next firmware upgrade?
