Ballmer and his gang took ASUS to the boiler room. Days ago:
EXCLUSIVE: ASUS Speaks on the EEE PC
,----[ Quote ]
| TechTree: States like Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka promote the Linux

| Benson Lin: Currently, we're closely tied up with Microsoft and the EEE PC

Prior to this, Microsoft tried to use the EULA to fight Express Gate (restrict
hypervisors). Antitrust issues with Phoenix Technologies forced them to modify
the EULA and they tried to claim credit for it (not revealing the true story).
Gangsters will be gangsters.
But let's wait for concrete proof about Express Gate...
Being a company that lost $90 billion in value so far this year, they'll do
anything. A few hours ago someone commented on a post in Digg saying that
Microsoft is no longer trying to hide its crimes. It's desperate. Just watch
the OOXMXL corruption.
