Its impressive how some few people that use linux have such obsessive, compulsive, insane behavior on talking about microsoft, posting news about microsoft, creating theories about microsoft, repeating ad-nauseam that microsoft is bad, and other bla bla bla etc, etc, etc. They talk more about microsoft than their own marketing team.
While there may or may not be an MS connection in this suit, there was one with SCO. Also, take a look at what happened with OOXML & ISO or the EU recently and many, many other examples over the years, as to why some of us are so openly anti-MS. MS has repeately "competed" in a criminal manner and yet so many people are oblivious to this fact and seem to thing MS is the most wonderful thing to hit the computer industry, despite all the harm they've caused. MS has the computer industry by the throat and they must be resisted in any legal way possible! As an example of how they've got their tentacles wrapped around many people, yesterday, I attended the Ontario Linux Fest in Toronto. One of the presentations was about how someone was arranging computers for very low income high school students. They would take donated computers and install Ubuntu, including OpenOffice on them. One of the things they have to do is change the default file formats in OpenOffice to those of MS Office. She tried to get some teachers to use OpenOffice and found they weren't allowed to have any software that competed with MS on the computers, due to the contract the school board has with Microsoft. This is despite the fact, that the Province of Ontario arranged a province wide license for StarOffice, for all tax funded schools. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
