...citing provisions in the Digital Millennium Copyright Act... --- Let's see, "Digital Millennium Copyright Act" - That would be the embraced and extended copyright legislation that the special interest Micro$oft lobbied the GOVERNMENT to enact. <shock> --- At the heart of Microsoft is always the implicit threat of GOVERNMENT remedy at the hooves of M$'s billions. --- This (/.) threat is over publishing of a recent M$ extention to the OPEN Kerberos security standard. --- This company is lucky it has great patriots, such as those on this thread supporting it. -JCJ

Gee, Rusty, re: your embrace, extend, censure link. Surely the actions so portrayed are taken out of context? MSFT trying to be underhand; lying; cheating; being untrustworthy; being all of these things and more... surely that can't be true! The Government's case was nefarious characterization taken out of context: I know this because those really nice MSFT supporter's on this list have said so. Besides, I am sure that I heard Mr. Bill state that he had established MSFT with the core values of integrity, honesty and "vigorous, but fair," competition. Next you will have us believe that MSFT is against free speech! Shame on you. Where is the lucid analysis of Ed when you need it? Mike,please give us your nice motherhood and apple pie MSFT spin on things, and restore my faith in this glorious software institution without which the global (if not galactic) economy could not function.
