Bill Gates has
changed his story. For the last three days, Gates has been arguing that this was technically impossible, but today, he reversed his story.
Gates admits stripped-down Windows possible
Rudedawg's opinion- [img]graemlins/twocents.gif[/img] I do believe that Gates and M$ should be allowed to get away with everything they can. I believe that the DOJ has over-stepped their authority, and are making unreasonable demands.
I also Believe that M$ stole the technology they have marketed so well. But they have the right to profit off the ignorance of end-users who continue to throw money at the M$ temple.
Instead of forcing M$ to give their code to competitors (think of the precedent this will set) the DOJ should just make it easier to buy a "clean" box, a computer with no OS on it, or an alternative OS (Linux, for example).
And, of course, you could go Mac... [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]
