There was a pool. And I won. (Thanks again!)

You're a Redmond shill. Hence, a buzzard.

You've said as much in the past.

And Microsoft gave the source code for their OS to the Red Chinese.

Deal with reality, man.

I don't support anything going to China for free, not even the peeks at Windows they're getting in response to all the free software IBM is giving them. But you can't legitimately make that argument since you support the complete and total givaway of software to them, including the right to copy, rename, even resell.

And, the open source crowd is very aware of this, and quite comfortable with it being done. Just as I'm sure you are, but you'd rather shout names and blame Microsoft instead, in an obvious distraction attempt. Fact is, you'd be quite pleased with Microsoft if they made their software "open source" so the Chinese could copy it, rename it, etc, without violating Microsoft's copyrights.
