      sam: thanks for your insightful remarks but I'm not sure Denise is against Linux so much as against freedom as a general principle. Also he seems to really dislike Soros, who is one of the richest men in the world. So he must be against rich people too. Maybe he's just an old white racist who regrets the passing of Empire and the availability of cheap ethnic labor? If you ask me, his analysis and writing is based more on the need to get another strong drink than to get facts.

      Who is paying for Denise's Drivel? MSFT? If so, is this not a pure waste of Microsoft Tax dollars? If I had MSFT shares instead of AAPL (which to be honest is doing a great job of executing Windows), I'd be selling them asap, because if this is how MSFT defends itself, by employing clowns as bloggers, wow... I mean, just wow...       May 17 08:01 AM

      RV, I support Denis Biron's right to say freedom is for fascist terrorists who speak foreign languages. Clearly the world would be a better place if we all spoke English and ran the same operating system. The only free software would be viruses, which is good for the anti-virus industry. Lastly, I disagree that accepting free rides does NOT make you a fascist/communist. May 16 07:09 PM

      From the terms of use, one may not:

      # Post any comment that is unlawful, harmful or injurious to others, threatening, abusive, offensive, harassing, derisive, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, libelous, hatefully, racially, ethnically or otherwise tortious or objectionable.

      Now I'm no Microsoft supporter but IMO "fascist terrorists based in countries and regions using the Farsi-based suffix “stan.” is threatening, abusive, offensive, derisive, defamatory, vulgar, libelous, hatefully, racially, and ethnically objectionable.

      Dennis, I'm no microsoft fan but seriously, you should apologise before lots of angry digistanis write to contact-editorial@seek... expressing their shock and dismay that such comments would be published on a site like this.

      Just sayin'.       May 16 12:54 PM

      simion: it's obvious MSFT invented the internet, like they invented the operating system, the PC, and the mouse. Linux stole everything from Windows. Everyone knows this, which is why no-one wants to give you the source code for linux. Sure, they say they will, but have you ever actually tried to get it? you see what i mean. Anyhow, i'm not a Microsoft supporter but i think hippy anti-capitalist freedom loving europeans should be forced to swear allegiance to vista. May 16 12:42 PM

      I'm no Microsoft supporter but I have to admit DennisByron has a point. After all, Microsoft invented the internet in 1995 with Windows 95 and gave this to the world, free! They gave away internet explorer, when netscape was trying to screw people into paying for their browser. So MSFT has a long history of giving stuff away. Now, their profits are falling - didn't they make a loss last year? - so they need to tighten the screws. If this means patenting everything they can and trying to kill free software and open standards, well they have a godgiven right to do this. Nay, an obligation to their shareholders!

      Like I say, I'm no Microsoft supporter, but on this one I have to say Denise Byran has it absolutely right!
