So we should let Microsoft that has random guarantees of the future licensing of their operating system be the main stream? Yeah sure, let's give them full power to charge us an excessive amount when theirs is the only kid on the block. If "it's everywhere" was a valid argument to give up, nothing new would be created. You need to start from somewhere if you want greater acceptance over time and there will always be a "it's everywhere" deal when you start something new from scratch.
I see a spade and I call it a spade.
True. In spades.
Microsoft is trying to appear to be playing fair and make people think, 'Oh, poor Microsoft... so misunderstood.'
But we understand Microsoft. Too well. But Microsoft is playing with the big boys now.
1. First they ignore you.
2. Then they they laugh at you.
3. Then they fight you..... (Where MS is STILL)
4. Then you win.
5. How about a nice game of chess.
No... they don't have to. All they have to do is 'threaten' to take a small company (with a lot less money than MS) to court over a patent.
Tomtom for instance. All they had to do is 'say' that 'linux' violates their patent and if tomtom doesn't pay up they'll be taken to court and have all their money disappear in years worth of lawsuits.
All MS has to do is say which patents linux and open source violate and it could be fixed. No....Microsoft is still a bastard company run by bastards playing the bastard game.
When they stop playing like bastards, maybe 'WE' will start believing they have changed.
Tell that to my wife (and the billions of windows users who starts to shake and cough just like the old man in that book by Nabakov) everytime i say "Why don't you just open another tab instead of going back and forth between web pages?"
Her response is, "I don't know what you mean!"
In Canadian English, it means "Holy crap, it's just a whole lot of poop and immaturity with very little intelligence... why did we even start with this thing, eh?"
And letting them actually get up and talk about security "cough, cough", is like letting them get up, whip out their John Thomas and sing "Every sperm is sacred", while their condom leaks all over the podium.
Yeah, that about sums it up... Microsoft's "Trustworthy" computing has always been about locking the damn thing down so tightly you can't use it, relying on their own proprietary technologies so that everybody pays them, and pretending like it's not the security holes in their OS that is the root problem.
You misspelled Linux. Funnily, it came out as Microsoft. Go figure. A Freudian slip perhaps?
And just how is Linux locked down, proprietary and a security hole?

Yes... it was Ballmer who brought us... uhh..."the monkey boy dance"!!!
Good for him!
I think he patented the copyright on it.
;-)
I thought they had the cure already... just ask tom cruise and john travolta... scientology, the cure for all your problems and money!
Yes, but plan 9 is worth watching ALL the time:.... night...day...night...day!

Same argument... this is why i use gnu/linux.
This is most noticeable in their wimpy definition of a pint.
This is to go with their wimpy definition of beer.
Oh man... i was singing 'the cave' by mumford and sons today. Don't sue ME!
No... no one else caught it. You are indeed leet.

They have Professional Liberals who look in on you while you consummate your marriage?
Do they give advice too?
Harder, she likes it like zis. Now, put zee handcuffs on her.
But if 110% can't do 38.3% of the 76.4% needed to graduate, how are the other 3.2% going to graduate out of the 680% you didn't mention?

It's a jelly.

either way, that's the coolest fucking thing I've seen in a while.
5 minutes pass...
Now this is the most boring thing i've seen in a while.
I haven't did the coke out nose thing on /. for a while. Thanks!
Hey man, it looks like you've been doing a bit too much of the coke UP the nose thing for a while!
--sniff sniff--
ANY day, right you are! She can handle my joystick ANY day!
Hope mothballing Discovery goes better than it did for the crew of the Battlestar Galactica.
I'd hardly call hosts files obscure...

The aliens will invade after they get sick of so many reruns of friends reaching them.
Wrong, they'll invade earth to watch the end of Single Female Lawyer
Wrong... they'll stay away after watching Doctor Who and Torchwood!
