So that means that Michael Dell, CEO of Dell computers, is using illegal DVD and multimedia codecs (well, not definatly, but thats one of the major reasons for using automatix). Note for non US residents, the dvd decoders and audio codecs like mp3, wma are illegal here unless you pay for them.....dont ask, we're not sure why either. This is awesome, Dell is just like the rest of us! I wonder if he bittorrents his movies too.
  • TZRick, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0That's a huge bit of news there! I'm not against Microsoft per say...I'm just pro-choice. Just like AMD made Intel honest, let's hope that desktop Linux can do the same (and better) with Windows.
