Don't you think that it is ironic that Bill Gates and Microsoft are
upset that someone has borrowed an idea from them. They are calling
the kettle black when they say that the guy creating Lindows is
stealing. What about when they stole from Apple  and took the GUI
from them, and Xerox. They pretty much ripped off the guy that came
up with DOS they bought it for 50,000 and have made millions upon
millions off of the operating system. I bet the guy that sold it to
them is kicking himself right now.
I think that is pretty pathetic that Microsoft is so worried that
they might actually have some competition that they would try to sue
for something that they did twenty or so years ago. Are they scared
that Lindows might be and probably is a better platform. So what if
they lose a little money so some can afford a better operating system
such as Linux. Maybe Bill will learn that what he did to Apple was
wrong. Knowing him though he will sue and win, and then try to buy
into to the Lindows concept, just like he did Apple in 1997 for his
personal gain. If that happens I think that it would be the end of
Linux.
