| 625549 | 2007-12-29 16:03:00 | Look at SCO, The SCO Group has been removed from the Nasdaq Stock Market because the company declared bankruptcy in September, not long after they tried to take on Linux . . . "Worrying it like sitting in a rocking chair, it gives you something to do but it doesnt get you anywhere" -- Van Wilder : Party Liason Anyways, when somebody actually gets sued successfully, maybe a few people . . THEN it might be time to get worried . In the mean time, its just spreading FUD needlessly IMO! I agree with your post . . . . but the idea is just to harass and cost the defendant a lot of money and then slink away having harmed the defendant in the purse . That's the cruelest strategy . It offers no recompense for the sued if the sue-er goes away into BK and cannot be responsible for their lawsuit . The obvious nastiness of this kinda of blitzkrieg is just a last ditch effort to cause a lot of peripheral damage before they die . |

| 625550 | 2007-12-29 19:30:00 | It seems to me that Linux has killed themselves . Linux has been out for year snow, has less share of the market than Apple and very few useful apps / games run on it . If You can't get a reasonable market share when something is free, and supposedly good, then you will never do it . Windows, for it its shortcomings, does work out of the box and people can use it and understand it and zillions of apps and hardware work with it . Regards Digby |

Regards Digby Good lad :) You stick to your guns, as a reward, you may have my copy of Vista. It is in a shop somewhere. Could we interest you in a Packard Bell to go with that? :yuck: (Unfortunately for me I require my OS to work in the box, so it's curtains for Windows.) |

| 625553 | 2007-12-29 21:15:00 | But Atari is still alive... unless they are all zombies back from the dead. Only the name, Its been onsold a few times, and always ends in the purchaser going bankrupt. Pretty sure I read somewhere that whatever company last purchased the Atari name and started using it as their brand is now on the brink of ruin. |
