News: Microsoft Threaten to Drop Windows

[sir henry]

i agree with the views of the members starting with hot Ice, it's just wishful thinking that billy boy will give up on Windows, it's called blackmail. It would be nice though to have a stripped down bug free version of windows, a thing called a stable version, now that is something to dream about. I the moment I'm testing out Crazy Browser and K-Meleon browsers, they both seem a lot faster than explorer.

The trouble with Explorer is every new edition is bloated with things most of us never use, even if we ever knew they were there.

Most people get a computer to go on the web, yet the settings are for non web.


You only have to look at download sites to see the vast range of programmes available to make windows better, but does M/$ ever incorporate either the prog or something similiar. uh-uh.

So Billy Boy make good your threat and lets have someone come up with a stable system.
Windows won't be missed.

they are doing the "im taking you down with me" technique, hoping that their case would be reconsidered.

WINDOWS SOURCE SHOULD BE READILY AVAILABLE!

I should be able to search google and download a txt, compile it, and have an operating system. I mean, I think Microsoft is involved in "black ops" I am almost sure of there involvement in weapons development. They are definatly dirty. Bill Gates is going to be the first cy-borg.

It is interesting on what M$ is trying to do. Like many of us said, we'd call their bluff, but they may actually be selling off their OS to either another company or to a brand extention of themselves, playing with the whole consept of Monopoly.

In any sense, they are losing the battle and they know it.

It's sad how "history repeats itself" We take history 101 in school only to ignore what people before us did and do the same thing over......

When will we learn.....

Sympathy gets you no where! The courts are not the badguys in the M$ case, yet that's what M$ and the media are trying to make it look like.

M$ is discovering a few things lately.
1-Linux is getting support and it's picking up
2-Most people don't feel like spending 200$ every year for a "new and improved" POS OS
3-Most people stick with what they know and fear change (ie: 98 to Me to XP)
4-Mac's are cheap
5-Nobody feels bad for the "Iron Giant"

I am looking forward to see where this goes....
