Everyone should watch Accepted, it's a great movie, the end is great, the beginning kinda sucks. But it's worth the road. It's related to open movement vs the closed movement.

I know that MS is making perfectly legal usage of BSD code.I'm just saying it's hypocritical to criticize the FOSS for stealing *ideas* when you're explicitly using *code*and yes, Linux is under the GPL, not the BSD liscence. But I believe that Ballmer is really trying to take a broad swipe at the whole FOSS community.

MS is one thing, but there's no alternative for some software offered on Windows.That is the ONLY reason any sane human being uses Windows.And many now use multiple OSes and systems anyway.Don't worry, in a few years OSes will mean less than they ever did. MS is destined for destruction. That's always the way with these evil empires.If you think that's hard to believe, look at IBM's PC business today!

I use windows because it is freeI won a copy at an IT group meeting where they give out a few copies of Server 2003 Enterprise w/ 25 cals every month. The only condition is I can't sell it to anyone, I can use it for anything I want, even in production. If it wasen't free I would have used Linux, however I found that Windows is a little simpler.I got copies with computers through a club at school where they were refurbishing and giving computers to kids who cant afford one. Not all of them worked, but I got 3 and made one work out of them, and each came with Windows XP Pro. They couldn't get the 3 10k rpm 37gb Ultra 3 SCSI drives to boot right, so i got it, 2 really broken ones, and a 22 inch monitor because it was too big for other people.The only thing with those copies it they are bound to which ever computer they are first installed on, they were even pre-activated.Also, if Google buys youtube, wont M$ sue the hell out of them for those monkey clips of their ceo made by M$ haters?

I would support any X-box 360 Supercomputer project, It would hurt M$ and would have to run Linux to work.

I've read all the comments, I do not like MS, neither I am a Gates or Ballmer fan at all, I also think MS dominance is a USAs hazard and is just a question of time for the Big Brother to take care (As was made with AT&T, Enron, etc).However, almost non of here has understood Mr Ballmer words:1.He takes care of shareholders, not users, if your are in the second group, your comments does not matter at all, neither if you stop buying Windows. It arrives to your home, school and office computers without your intervention. The money comes from Corporations and Public Sector.2.If you are already a shareholder, the message is “Do not worry, we are the smartest, we did not lost and as usual a lot of money is coming, by the way we will sink Novell as we did with Apple, Sun, Spyglass, etc.3.Why Novell? Because they have Mono (And the soul of Genome), SUSE is not important but as a distraction. Also because Novell's new management made it easy. If Open Source community splits, it is a secondary earning.Now, Miguel de Icaza as Novell's Vice President of Developer Platforms has the chance to be the developers answer if he is smart enough to protect the Ximian legacy, smarter than Steve Jobs, Scott McNealy in their times, Ballmer and Novell's bureaucracy today.
