I play music and view video's "LEGALLY" under Linux without /paying/
patent royalties. How do you account for that?

You don't know what clandestine means, do you?

There's a single word that encompasses this concept of "bordering on
theft" ... it's called "legal". Much like the single word that
encompasses the concept of being "almost late" is called "punctual".

Linux ten years ago. Yes, legally too.

Egads no. I don't hate Microsoft enough to embarrass them with a /Vista/
advert. Surely an XP advert would be more appropriate. Or Win3.11 even.

I'd have to check, but I think SuSE is now just a service pack for XP.
