Lawsuits in China?
You lying imperialist dog!
Every one. Every one. And usually because of their damn browser.
There should be suits against Microsoft for this.

"Ballmer, speaking in Singapore at Microsoft's Asian Government Leaders Forum, said that Linux violated more than 228 patents. "
It's my understanding that many countries outside the U.S., including many Asian countries, do not recognize software patents. I guess this just provides more incentive to continue that practice.
Fixed it.
Anyone that challenges Microsoft is a friend of mine.
Does anybody here use Linux or know anything about it? I have been toying with the idea of switching for a long time, but have never made the jump.
And how many patent lawsuits are there against M$? Hypocrits as usual.
I think Microshaft and Ole Bill should be happy about Asia not using Winblows...afterall, MOST of the pirated copies of Windows are in China. If they think a lot of Americans pirate Windows...I don't know if I have ever talked to an Asian person who actually paid for Windows...
Secure, huh? Secure as in, "my boot sector failed last week from a virus that I didn't get by my own fault?" or Secure as in "that holiday greeting card that says they sent you a cupholder for Christmas and then proceeds to open your CDRom Tray"? I know it's not a harmful virus, but still, it's just a tiny example of how you can do things on someone's computer that they don't want you to do.
Monkey Boy has got to be as irrational as Darl if he thinks that kind of talk is going to give people warm fuzzies about Microsoft.
Ballmer... said that Linux violated more than 228 patents.
Yeah... and Microsoft later kinda issued a retraction.
"Someday, for all countries that are entering the WTO (World Trade Organization), somebody will come and look for money owing to the rights for that intellectual property," he added.
In yer dreams, Stevie. Thanks to SCO, people are going to want to see some proof next time.
"We think our software is far more secure than open-source software. It is more secure because we stand behind it, we fixed it, because we built it. Nobody ever knows who built open-source software," he added.
And, as I suspected, Microsoft doesn't really know where its own software came from.
[T]he Redmond software vendor, like a growing number of corporations, is availing itself of a variety of tools for monitoring the source of its own source code, Microsoft officials said.
David Kaefer, Microsoft's director of business development for IP and licensing, told Microsoft Watch earlier this month that Microsoft has been creating process controls to ensure that Microsoft knows from where its own code is coming. Microsoft has created a number of tools and is licensing others that will allow the company to make sure that there is no hidden code (open-source or otherwise) in its products that shouldn't be there, Kaefer said.
They just don't seen to like free markets and capitalism.
MicroSloth is rather accurate, imho!
