Their mere existence once again proves you were lying or ignorant when you claimed nothing existed. That is not the only litigation either, just one you have no excuse not knowing about if you choose to post on these threads and claim nothing of the sort exists.
Thanks for the link!!
BTW, still can't find that img on deviantart--do you have the author or the img # by chance?
Which img are you talking about? If need be, I'll put it up on my Photobucket.

Then show me the verdicts from each of those cases--and any other applicable full Circuit, Court of Appeals, and Supreme Court rulings.
As usual, you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about--and looking stupid in the process.
Your background img from your screenshot in post 100.
Ah, OK, that I didn't get from Deviant Art - I'll put that up on Photobucket.

Thanks!!
Link is in your private messages.

Thanks again!!
Whoa, Apple isn't going that far. Anyone can download the Boot Camp software for free, but buying a copy of Win XP and installing it is entirely up to the end user. And Apple provides zero support for Boot Camp.
LOL you were the idiot claiming no such thing had ever happened. LMAO again.
No, I said there was no precedent--so legally they don't exist--as far as case law is concerned.
The actions are current; they cannot exist in case law until after the trials--which as I said start next year.
Clearly you know absolutely nothing about computer security, *nix, and law.
So, what you're saying is, you have only one example, and in your opinion, that constitutes a "mass"?
GE,
I have patiently read this entire thread from beginning to end, and I must tell you that your behavior, Sir, is that of an entirely unbridled penis with ears. You exhibit the rhetorical agility of a damp soapdish and all of the social grace of a battleship in a bathtub.
Whereas everyone else in this thread has posted material that constitutes "opinion" and "debate", and whereas many have also gone to the extent of posting "examples" demonstrating the foundations of their statements in real world fact, you, by contrast, have consistently mocked, maligned, hectored, and heckled with overbearing assertions nearly wholly devoid of factual backup.
You are not arguing, Sir, you are, quite frankly, "compensating". Poorly.
We collectively wish that you were, in fact, 1/10th of the "man" that the braggadocious nature of your posts strives to imply, at least then you'd be okay enough with yourself not to take your inadequacies out on other posters to these threads.
I'm sorry to seem so harsh, but give it a rest; if for nobody's sake but your own.
"As usual--can talk but can't actually produce..."
It would be nice if he also couldn't REproduce.
Eloquently stated. Thank you.
"We collectively wish that you were, in fact, 1/10th of the "man" that the braggadocious nature of your posts strives to imply..."
As my grandpa would say, "I'd like to buy him for what he's worth and sell him for what he thinks he's worth."
True, true...8^)
And you're the idiot claiming that all kinds of stuff is happening or about to happen, and then being silent when asked for proof.
Again, please provide evidence that:
1)People who work on open source projects do so at the expense of their employers, and...
2)That there is a "mass" of lawsuits coming against OSS. To do that, you'll need to provide more than one example.
That's what I am seeing a lot of recently.
There just isn't a *need* for it. Most are perfectly content to keep 2000 Professional or what little XP they have deployed. Throw in a surprising amount of Linux in the back office and you get a not-so-rosey picture if you're Microsoft.
You know, if they could have done 2000 Pro sooner and spent the requisite time hardening it, they would have been a lot better off. Personally, I think 2000 was their best release. It was what NT4 should have been.
As for Aero...Note to Microsoft, you aren't Apple. Never will be. Get over it. You're viewed as a stodgy corporation now. Kind of like IBM minus the aura of competency. All the marketing in the world will not change this. Besides, you've shown time and time again that you can't even get the basics right. Cut down on the featuritis and make a stable operating system. Only if you can manage this, should you concentrate on pretty widgets for executive types to click,
