Week in review: Microsoft one step closer to kernel-only Windows

[balonga]

Microsoft claims are nonsense. Their efforts attack the right of people of not having to pay them (Gates) to use a computer : free OS, open source and language normalisation in a further scope. All who are in the side of freedom -hope CNET includes- should oppose MS actively and recommend them to improve their very poor and weak products instead of bothering others efforts.

You're wrong on so many levels. No one *has* to pay Microsoft. Opensource OS's have been available for years. People choose to buy software from a company since the software works best for them. You must be from Europe.

Is there an equal position for Microsoft and OpenSource community in the court? - Definitely not!

OpenSource community should ask in the court to review Microsoft's initial position which is not fair !

OpenSource has their source open to the entire world, so even Microsoft can sneak for possible "patent breaks", but Microsoft has CLOSED source code, so nobody knows - are there any patent breaks or not.

Is this equal position: if one player play with open cards, but another has rights to play with closed cards and asks judge to look closer only that player with open cards?

At least at the court both parties should be equal and should come up with source code just because of there is no other options.
