I dunno when it's ever going to sink in with these people. M$ even
took Java and tried to make it proprietary! They were sued and
convicted...again.
M$ hasn't complied with the DOJ's orders to unbundle the applications
it has been ILLEGALLY DUMPING onto the market via Windows. This would
not be a problem if M$ wasn't a monopoly. You know that's the whole
problem with monopolies? When is it going to end?
I wouldn't complain if what M$ produced actually worked right, but IT
DOESN'T! M$ produces piles of shit that the rest of the industry must
deal with.

It's getting very close. I think you'll see noticeable advancement
this year because Linux development has gotten some major financial
boosts.

That's true. Seems like they're working on it though...
