Stricker goes on the dustbin... as for Windows, well, it just vanishes... but
Microsoft gets to argue that your computer was built with Windows and thus
it maintains a bogus 'market share'.
All these discussions get me thinking. This newsgroup will cease to serve a
purpose when Linux is installed on every desktop machine (this will also, in
due time, solve a large portion of the cybercrime epidemic). Additionally,
Jim Allchin, Steve Ballmer, Bill Gates and others who were involved in the
SCO scheme, the OEM chokehold tactics etc. must go to prison where they
belong. Then, and _only_ then, /some/ justice will have been done.
Ultimately, some politicians ought to be questioned as well. But the world
will carry on with corruption... just follow the money trail...
