[MS BASHING]

but everybody knows that the price of Media Player is included in the price of Windows
I may have to second that, perhaps. I dunno. Seems every time I look on the tech-oriented sites, there is something about Microsoft getting sued again. I swear, there must be some tax writeoff for lawsuits, or why else would Microsoft leave some of these companies no other choice but to sue them?

non-productive talk between MS and European Competition Commissioner
. Wow, you mean talks about friendly and fair competition were not productive? Are any talks with Microsoft about reducing their monopoly on the global market productive? Well, maybe just for the Steve Ballmer who can sit, pick his nose, pretend to listen, say no, and walk away with a triple digit paycheque. I can just see Bill Gates waiting when he walked out, "So son, how much did we get sued for?" Steve, "Well, we beat our old record by 25 million dollars!" Bill, "Congrads my laddy, you get a raise in your salary by 250 000 dollars a year!"

The next day, Steve opens what he thought would be his pay, but instead gets a letter from Bill sayin, "Your cheque will be NFS, don't bother cashing it. Oh, and you're fired."

Well, on a more serious note, suing M$ for a few hundred million Euro's is like taking 5 Canadian cents from my wallet. Not gonna make me cry or change my mind. Microsoft needs something much, much, much, worse if they are going to change their ways. Chances are, it will never happen.

Lets hope for a Linux revolution
