In fact, until I got this flu bug my clothes were feeling a bit tight. Bwahahaaa. Bill Hilf works in open source? Uh huh. And I'm a princess in a luxurious castle, with lackeys and toadies to obey my every whim. Off with their heads. Kneel, worms. "A certain Mr.Levy from Novell says "we cannot control how people react to this agreement." " Bingo, sparky. We aint stoopid. |

Is everyone who works for Microsoft required to place their morals in a box at the door when they arrive, to be picked up when they leave? " ...the free software audience is becoming smaller." How blatant can the lying get? Yes, that a hypothetical question, not deserving of a real response. I'm certain that Microsoft will demonstrate very shortly that their lies can get even worse. |

Next we'll be seeing Gartner and IDC reports that Linux causes impotence, excess sweatiness, and chronic gas. |

Microsoft still doesn't get it. The forces of commoditization that brought them to where they are today, due to the hardware getting commoditized, will be the same forces of commoditization that will bring them down, due to the software getting commoditized. It may take a long time, but it's not merely possible -- it's inevitable. Or perhaps Microsoft does understand. And that's why they're putting so much effort into fighting it. |

The common assumption is that free software is bad for Microsoft. It is as long as they oppose it. If they would use it and contribute to it like normal people, instead of trying to kill it off like rabid megalomaniac bullies, the company would be a lot stronger and better-positioned for the long-term. Just think- Microsoft software that doesn't suck. A radical new direction for the Jabba of software. |

> Next we'll be seeing Gartner and IDC reports that Linux causes impotence, excess sweatiness, and chronic gas. They're always trying to ascribe the aliments of MS Windows to Linux... |

Is 'aliments' a deliberate pun? quite clever if it is. |

so um...does this constitute libel, or what? Where is the line drawn? |

I'll have them to know, not only am I shrinking, I'm getting bigger. |
