They didn't ask for "budgetary discipline". They demanded policies that destroyed the country,impoverished the people,made the country a protectorate,gave boost to a nazi party,resulted in GDP to tank more than 25%,unemployment to be more than 25% and more than 50% for young people.
Either they were misguided or they were and are malicious or they are fanatics. Either way,they did too much harm. I have zero sympathy for them.
They should blame themselves for their problems,not Microsoft,Russia,Amazon or other countries.
The way they treated and continue to treat Greece and the European south in general is despicable.
What the heck is that supposed to mean?!
So the Greeks and others in the south of Europe collectively borrowed a huge amount of money to fund an unsustainable way of life built around not paying taxes, barely working, and retiring early.
Then when it comes time to repay those loans they find that they can't. After all, you typically have to do this little thing called work in order to generate the wealth necessary to repay loans.
And now the countries that initially loaned the money should just let Greece and the others off the hook?
That would be irresponsible!
I suppose you were hiding under a rock all these years? It's the only excuse for your ignorant comment about what's happening more than 6 years now here.
We work and a lot harder and longer hours than the Germans for example. And for much less wage (for the people that still have jobs).With the stupid and criminal austerity policies (that Finland along with others insisted) the economy tanked,the unemployment soared,the country destroyed. So,if they really wanted their money back, they could just designed a program that would generated growth and jobs. They didn't do that though,they did the opposite.
Not to mention,as even the Handesblatt wrote a few weeks ago,the "bailouts" wasn't a rescue for Greece at all:It was a rescue for the incompetent German and French banks.
It seems that the Euro (and austerity policies) are wrong even for Finland as it is obvious from it's economic performance lately. They can blame Microsoft,Russia,Amazon all they want. They should blame themselves and get down from their high horse. I will not shed a tear for them. They can rot for all i care for the destruction they caused to my country and to other countries in the crisis hit regions.
I have zero sympathy for Finland. Zero. The way they treated and continue to treat Greece and the European south in general is despicable. They deserve the worst. They made their bed with Microsoft let them lie on it.
Yes,but the Immaculate Conception is an invention of the Roman Catholic Church.
The Orthodox Chruch don't have the Immaculate conception thing,the Filiogue and some other stuff..
Of course they do...they are busy trying to sell Vista,Zune and stuff....
And laughing at the price of the first gen iPhone of course...and throwing chairs..and..feeling sad about Bill leaving Microsoft..
Well,i am sorry that you are not satisfied with it,but my experience is totally different than yours..
I find Leopard to be absolutely fantastic.And it works.
Well,i am in Greece and obviously i cant purchase music from there...it's same that if i want to support them i have to use fake adress and stuff...
Why is that and all the cool things are "USA" only?
Amazon DRM-free,movies and tv shows downloads etc..
When they will be absolutely sure that Microsoft will be shot down completely.
Difficult stuff but it can be done.
All Microsoft can do is to have the illusion that it has the upper hand,meanwhile Apple and Open Source are winning the hearts and minds of people all over the world and Microsoft is stuck with a dead end technology and useless threats.
Because he want to expose himself as a great christian crusader against the evils of this world and shit.
He is just an imposter,a nobody that all his power is via TV.
I think this threat that he is doing is empty,just theatrics.You know,for the ignorant grandmas of this world and for the hard core republicans like the ones that are the core voters for GWB.
Isn't it stupid for a company to sell MCE and then to resctrict what a person can and cannot watch?
What's the point to bother marketing such a product?
And then they wonder why customers hate DRM and their stupid "IP rights"..
The funny thing is that MAFIAA will never learn...
Sometime in the future they 'll talk about some new "unhackable drm" and such bullshit...meanwhile,everybody else they will laugh at them watching their pirate copy of The Matrix....

I live in Greece,a country that we have very very strict gun control laws.
Only the army,police and hunters can have weapons and with very strict control.
This is a country that exists from 1928,freed from 400 years Turk oppresion,we've been through Balkan wars,World wars,dictatorships,and again,we dont have the insanity that you have about guns.
In My country these tragic events rarely happen.
Only in USA i here every now and then about some whako with a gun to kill innocent people like this.
Your attitute about "the right to have guns" in your country is suicidal.
Well,i think that it is major news today.
The other labels now must respond or else they lose..
And the whole thing is a major blow to Microsoft as well with the "Universal tax" in zune and the stupid drm restrictions in zune player...
Hopefully the market will adjust to drm free high quality music in reasonable fee.
Oh,i forgot..and without silly litiligation against mothers and dead poeple ans such.
(please excuse my poor english).

I understand that novel does not violate the GPL, because they did not license the patents from microsoft, instead microsoft licenses the patents to novel customers. Since microsoft is not distributing the software to them, the GPL does not apply to them.
BUT WAIT, Microsoft is distributing the software, didn't they receive 70,000 copies of SuSE? unless they plan to just throw them in the attic, or use them internally, they will be distributing those copies, and thus are restricted by the GPL. If they put any restriction on the people receiving the GPL code (other than those specified in the GPL itself), then Microsoft is indeed in violation of the GPL.
So I don't understand, how microsoft can use those 70,000 copies without violating the GPL. Can anyone explain that to me?

I think that Microsoft will give those SUSE licences for free to the customers that want a Linux deployment...

http://myoldkyhome.blogspot.com/2006/09/microsoft- zune-product-demo-review.html
IN the link above is a blog that reviews Zune and it has a photo with the program that works with it.
Not only that helps Linux,but ensures that a possible patent fight from Microsoft it's likely to cause the ban of microsoft products from china..
