[Satire] Microsoft promises to play nice this time

| The overwhelming dominance of Microsoft was
| assured, he said, pointing to their success
| in paying netbook manufacturers to use
| Windows XP and paying US retailers not to
| stock the Linux versions of the computers.
| âWeâre also enforcing our patent on right-

Analysis: How Moonlight 2.0 Fits into Novell's Linux and Open Source Plans
,----[ Quote ]
| But to critics of Novell's moves to align with Microsoft to offer Moonlight
| as a way to make Silverlight-enabled content work for Linux users, the bad
| karma continues. Instead of this being a good thing for Novell and Linux
| users, critics argue, the Moonlight project helps Microsoft maintain a
| leadership role in a development platform that only gives lip service to the
| open source community, they say.
