SoulSe Posted January 9, 2003 Report Share Posted January 9, 2003 Thanks for the links, tyme. We have been expecting Microsoft to release software for Linux for a while now. Although, I expected the first release to be MS Office or IE. They need to find a way to control Open Source and the first step is to release software for Linux until they gain enough ground to ensure that Linux stops becomming a threat. Similar tactics were used to stop the threat of Macintosh. We must fight this. At first, many people will think: Great! They can't beat us, so they are joining us! This is the wrong way to look at the situation. They are trying to control us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted January 9, 2003 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2003 I agree SoulSe, it would seem they are trying to wiggle their way into other markets. Tricky tactics. The only time I would _ever_ start to even consider trusting MS is if they open sourced their kernel (erm..Windows). And, as the very deepest deep deepity deep depths of Hell would freeze over first, I don't see myself trusting them :) We ARE many, we aren't stupid, and we won't let you sneak your evil code into our lovely O/S. they'd probably add some code to format our drives and install windows from a remote server....those bastards! okay, maybe that's taking it a bit far. then again...maybe not?

ral Posted January 10, 2003 Report Share Posted January 10, 2003 Don't really care about WMP for Linux. Quicktime for Linux would be great though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
