"My response was right on the money - you can't fake concern over Microsoft when Cuba and China get much more from your free Lunix than they ever do from anything else."

Your responses have nothing to do with the message you post them in response to.

Btw, I'm not faking concern. One of the reasons MS gave the DOJ in its monopoly trial was that showing the source to it's OS was a security risk. So what did they do? Show it to the chinese. Either they endangered security, or they lied to the FBI. Which is it?

Yes you are, quite obviously. Microsoft doesn't give every country in the world the right to copy, modify, rename, or resell Windows. Microsoft only allowed some governments the right to view most of their code under strict circumstances, that's it. And they only did it as a response to Linux anyway. You try to complain about Microsoft's response, but ignore the original problem that China LEGALLY takes the latest copy of "Red Hat Linux" and promptly renames it "Red Flag Linux" and "Asianux" and resells it across the world without a dime back to the U.S. They'll soon be doing the same thing to this "Red Hawk Linux", what's to stop them? Maybe they'll rename it "Red Star Linux" since "Red Flag" is already taken.
