| Gates VS. Supreme court Well guess what M$ got turned down of the appeal..(All the Nix heads cheer) I just read the new on Fox the Supreme court has turned down M$'s right to appeal in the anti-trust case. I can see it now if things keep up at this rate ~Daniel will be right in 5 years Linux/Unix will overshadow M$ 10:1

| I didn't get it either at first Ridenow!  Anyway, I'm learning Linux and Unix right now. I only have Windows installed on my own computer because the folding client is faster for Windows, and Win is better for gaming. Thats about it!

| Who knows what will happen in the future? I'd love to see Linux overtake the Billy Bully Boy. I'm not holding my breath, nonetheless. It's a rigged game. Those at the top do the rigging. Even if MS finally accepts the fact that they're a monopoly, chances are that it will mean nothing to the man in the street. MS is plunging ahead with changing the way that people own software. Perhaps "rent to own--but you'll never be able to make the final payment" is an accurate description. With "all your data are belong to us" thrown in to sweeten the deal. Can't forget the delightful "all your cookies can be read by anyone who pays for the privilege." MS Passport. Let freedom ring. Big business can do no wrong. They murder with impunity, and take no reponsibility for their actions. The corporation, what a beautiful artificial construct. All the rights of a person--and none of the responsibility. "We're responsible to our shareholders." Which means? If a person murders with malice aforethought, that person is dealt with severely by the law. If a "person" that is a corporation commits cold blooded murder--what happens? $9090 fine. Now that's an example of corporate responsibility! Brought to you by the fine citizens in the boardroom, the courts and the government. Go team!

| And that coupled with the EU leak is bad, bad news for Microsoft. They could be fined up to 10% of their yearly sales.
