Yes, unfortunately dirty politics seems to be more important than
fair and reasonable. It is not the first time something like this
has happened.
Nobody will forget what happened in Massachusetts, the home of Free
software. We have it all very well recorded. Microsoft corruption at
its best.
Well, we had people like Erik F and Billwg here arguing for years in
denial of the illegal actions which Microsoft used against, for example,
DRDOS, but in the end, the truth came out, and was published. In this
case, we have the history so well documented at the time that it will be
impossible for a new generation of deniers to be paid to do this with
anything remotely resembling even a minor hint of credibility in the
future.
Simply amazing ....
I think it is interesting how the truth has been coming out on the dirty
dealings, anticompetitive acts to maintain the near monopoly. With court
documents in hand, it is very easy to refute the weightless arguments of
Erik F and Billwg. They have tried to damage the credibility of advocates
with their baseless arguments but to no avail. The truth always prevails.
Latest rumblings with the EU has even exposed actions of the near monopoly.
Imagine, 12,000 pages of documents to document a network protocol system.
I rejoice that they were called on it.
[OT] In reality, I think one would be better off abandoning CFS/SMB and
going to something more open and straight forward. I play devils' advocate
and perhaps it is not, but could there be Halloween code in the desktop
OS', to prevent such from happening successfully? The corporation's
creditability or lack thereof does not help in defence against such.
Even the baseless lightweight Ms. Polly Ester,

posted a new blog with advocates as trolls, but it is of no avail. The
troll has already discredited she/he/it by continuous nymshifting and
derogatory trollspeak. The person really needs to get a life. Does
she/he/it think she/he/it is doing Microsoft a favour by posting such gobshite?
Microsoft might have to try to compete on merit. Now wouldn't that be a
thing?
The concept seems frightening, doesn't it. :-)
