Novell stickers it to Red Hat
,----[ Quote ]
| Having pointed out the cheeky banner that Novell hung outside rival Red Hat's
| annual conference in Boston, I later found out from Red Hat's chief executive
| Jim Whitehurst that Novell also put a "big sticker" on the floor outside too
| but Red Hat managed to get it removed.
|
| Well surprise, surprise, I got an email today from Novell with a nice image
| of the sticker in question and what a sticker – it must be twenty feet
| across – I wouldn’t like to have on the crew that had to lay that let alone
| remove it.

Novell: Microsoft number 2. Microsoft too used such tricks against IBM back in
the days.

Novell ushers in Moonlight

| The binary version of Moonlight does not have audio and video support

| Moonlight from source using the instructions on the Mono wiki.

Mono, The Road To Hell: Final Proof
,----[ Quote ]
| This is a Microsoft-branded piece of shit.
|
| Now, if there are still Linux users still loving Mono, and still believing
| they have anything in common with FREEDOM & Open Source, they're idiots like
| hell.
|
| Proofs of MALA FIDE from Microsoft's part:
|
| 1. NOBODY interested in a good-faith patent protection would restrict the
| protection to the downstream recipients of a UNIQUE source — but this is
| what Microsoft is doing!
|
| 2. NOBODY interested in a good-faith patent protection would restrict the
| protection to the UNMODIFIED AND USED "AS INTENDED" ("for the intended
| purpose") for an OPEN-SOURCE project — but this is what Microsoft is doing!
|
| 3. NOBODY interested in a good-faith patent protection would restrict the
| protection in any ways. Simply imposing restrictions means WHATEVER FALLS
| OUTSIDE THE SPECIFIC CONDITIONS IS SUBJECT TO FEAR, UNCERTAINTY AND DOUBT!
|
| Yes, this is Microsoft. Yes, this covenant is ONLY and ONLY for the benefit
| of Novell's SLED and SLES, and for the benefit of openSUSE. This is for
| people to ONLY consider openSUSE as a "safe" Linux way to use Moonlight and
| Mono, and therefore to increase the penetration of SLED/SLES as "the" Linux
| for the Enterprise.
|
| This is the abjection of the Microsoft-Novell fascist conspiracy.
|
| Have a nice day.
