Are you a lawyer? Have you had the EULAs gone over by a lawyer to
make sure Rex is wrong? Which EULA? Do you know if it is the same
one Rex is complaining about? Are you sure there is _nothing_ in the
EULA that could ever give MS an opening? Nothing they could fight you
in court about? Remember, it will only cost you about a million
dollars to be proven right in the court system.
Why would I believe Rex? You don't know much about Microsoft, do
you? For starters, they have a EULA for their retail products. That
right there is a red flag that they have no problem with fraudulent
sales tactics. When I pay hundreds of dollars at the retail counter
of Best Buy for Vista, they have sold me the right to use it. Thats
the way the retail market works. Its been like that for what? Just a
few THOUSAND years? Any claim that a EULA is also required to use the
product means the sale was a bad faith fraud.
So tell me again how Microsoft is too moral a company to ever attempt
that, even with their current EULAs.

They have their reasons. I don't care about them. You are a puzzle.
I have long wondered why super smart people, hardworking types, would
work for a company like Microsoft. The team that dreamed up ACLs did
a wonderful job ... only to see it all made useless because Windows
makes it sooooo easy to root. What is the point? You are good at
what you do? Why do you fight for a shoddy product? Paid or not?
Making sure your stock options will still be worth something?
Some of the goons here claim they just want to make sure the lies
don't get out of hand. Trouble is they never complain about the wild
things in pro-windows posts. Take a look at the thread about
thousands of Nigerians dumping Linux for Windows on the OLPC. Even
Ghost got suckered into taking that seriously. None of the regular
wintrolls spoke up about that bit of idiocy.

"Richard not stupid." Very generous.
Here is one of your posts in that thread (reformatted to allow Google
to reformat) ...
"Richard Rasker":
Being a college teacher, my spouse has to mark students' tests. In
this particular case, the test was a 'digital paper' -- i.e. students
had to do the test on a college Windows computer running XP, and save
it on a 3.5" diskette. So far, so good, and some 70 students took the
test. Only afterwards, it turned out that some 90% of diskettes handed
in were b0rk3d --
You:
It's clear that Linux users still rely on floppy disks to transfer
data around 1.44 megs at a time. Meanwhile the rest of the computing
world has learned to send a 1.4 meg email attachment in about 1-second
vs the 3 minutes Linux users spend to format their floppy and then
write 1.4 megs of data to it.
Sorry Exekiel, I don't see any "Test procedure stupid." in that post.
Oh! There it is. I see it now. It was very cleverly hidden in the
"Linux users stupid" part of the message. Ezekiel, you _really_ are
good at this.
Wait a minute. "Linux users still rely on floppy disks". Richard did
not say that. The school is running Windows, not Linux. Windows is
using floppies. Why did you say Linux users? Perhaps you are not as
good as I gave you credit for.

I see. It must be misinterpretation. Can't be what you wrote.

No more so than the claims that Linux is stuck at 1 percent, or that
there is no market for preloaded consumer Linux computers. It can't
be Microsoft interference. No no no. "There is no PROOF". It has to
be that there is no market. Must be.

Only for us niggers, apparently. It doesn't seem to slow down Bill
"Wow, just Wow" Gates.
How about Microsoft "let's sell Sun a license to make an ABI and not
tell them its for last year's Windows" Company? Does that count? Not
quite lying, lots of wiggle room there. Just good business to betray
your customers.
Wait, is this more like it: Microsoft "lets take IBM's OS/2 money and
use it to develop Windows" Corp?
Here is another ... Microsoft "let's buy an ISO number for our
obsolete Office file format" Corporation. Does that count a lying?
There _is_ a moral component there.
Should I go on? There is an embarrassment of riches here.
You are running with the wrong crowd to be claiming any moral high
ground.
