Microsoft sue the opensource community? HA! MS has ripped off everything they have from open source and Apple’s OS X (of which the core is open source) and then they want to sue! ROFL 8)
Hi .:Mac:.,
Well it is rumoured that MS and Linux are coming to terms, well they are seeking an agreement and interoperability, in that way FOSS is rendered toothless. The only reassuring thought is that Mac will be a runner up. One sign on the wall is that MS had to admit they have loads of trouble to keep their code secure, they cannot manage that on their own. So something has to give way, and I hope it is not the prelude of big “grey merger” computing according to the formula that always has been so attractive to Micro$oft.
