I love that because it pisses you off!

You are very strange. But not unexpected. The argument was that M$'s new attempt at a contract with Dell violates a previous consent decree with the court. The best you can do is obfuscate/distort/insult/deny realty because you've lost the argument. The court records speak for themselves. Your next move is probably to deny the records .. etc. I don't care. The consent decree clearly states that M$ cannot influence what OSs are installed or not on the PCs. Dell is the manufacturer .. Dell offers naked PCs -- remember those points? -- ... It wasn't that long ago a company I did some consulting for bought some naked PCs from Dell and you know something-- M$ didn't get a dime from that transaction because gasp! they were not involved in the sale! And their software wasn't needed.

Read any of this the way you want and point your IE browser with the newly discovered security flaw somewhere else. I get a headache having to think down to your level. M$ shills -- stupid to the core. Give me a Linux shill anyday. A Linux shill is so friggin' irritating, but at least they have a brain in their head and don't simply deny realty to "make a point". Read the court documents (and the consent decree) if you can.

You are welcome to submit your comments to the court and even to file your own suite, but guessing at what I know, I'd say you'd might as well write Santa Clause.
