So I guess you're admitting that OSS 'stealing ideas' is nothing new MS perfected it years ago.. Every time an OSS application (or in Opera's case a non-OSS system) builds in some functionality ms schrills scream about how OSS does not innovate, yet MS does the same thing its blown off as unimportant..

now morphing into a music company and rumor is they're soon to out of the pc hardware business completely, making software only. I hope thats true I would pay 200$ to run OSX on my PC but I wont pay for the hardware Apple sells (It is far better than the i86 stuff but I dont need it).

Leave it to you to twist my words and run off into never never land. I've always said MS copied Apple and I wasn't happy about it, I think Apple should have won something in their lawsuit but it was pretty poorly organized and late. But these were two US businesses fighting it out in the marketplace, not a bunch of apparent socialists such as from Finland trying to disrupt the US software industry completely by making everything free.

Actually it will suck big time because not only will we have reduced a former icon to it's dying breath but the US needs to maintain our industrial base as it's almost all gone already.
