Especially the bit about unified drivers.

Thats the article I posted before,the more you read of it the bigger the nightmare.

In a nutshell M$ believe they have the right to own and control everything remotely linked to computers.

NOW............if you think that is bad try reading this....."M$ = world domination"!!

M$ PATENT APPLICATION

You will probably feel sick after this one

[Nerval]

YUK!!!

I don't think they'll stop at world domination.  They're even more power-crazy than Tony Bliar

Sorry, must have missed that. I'll go and stand in the corner and be sick there

Now that is worrying! Have you ever noticed that you don't see Bill Gates and George W together. They couldn't be one and the same could they?

I'll let you off RiK

This will make you feel much better,I laughed long and hard when I read THIS   Long live the Romanian President  I like his style!!

[Rik]

LOL!

I would like to have been a fly on the wall of Bill gates' brain...

So that's why he's so set against piracy in vista.

Daft thing is he ought to know that the harder you make it to pirate stuff, the more determined it makes people.
Not that I've ever pirated anything, of course

It's really a war isn't it? Measure and counter-measure. MS will penalise the many for the few, and eventually, we'll be so unhappy that we will buy Macs or move to Unix. MS should remember what happened to Sony with their audio CD fiasco.

MS should remember what happened to Sony with their audio CD fiasco.

Indeed, that finished my love affair with Sony.

But they won't care..............if you read that patent application it means that IF ANYONE develops software that can be said to be an operating system
for a computer (or computer like device) then M$ automatically have the right to own it/claim patent on it.

Which is hopefully why the patent will never be granted. Has anyone told Apple?
