Big deal so you have a Linux distro that does not want to help the market by
enabling it to interoperate with the platform on over 90% of the worlds PCs
and a huge proportion of the worlds servers; unlike Novell, Xandros and
Linspire who all signed patent agreements
So they can sit there not wanting to open discussions with Microsoft and can
just wait for the inevitable patent infringement suite.
Frankly a pretty poor and petty display from a Linux distro (and more
accurately its parent sponsor) who appear to be unwilling to actually help
the consumer by working together to make the IT world a better and more
interoperable place for all.

Something that Ubuntu is changing big time.

Most servers are Linux. Oops.

So they could get millions of dollars of MS money. Cop out and selling
out come to mind.

Does the "suite" come with a jacuzzi? Or did MS patent that too?

Do you really believe this FUD? MS says Linux is violating 235 patents
but won't reveal what patents they're talking about. They should put up
or shut up and so should you.

It's great news unless you want everything on your computer to be MS.

No spite involved at all nor am I sad.

The sad person is you who can only insult people.

News to Alias: This is a Vista group, not a Ubuntu group. If people wanted
to hear about Ubuntu, they would look for it.

Even if you win market share it is not good enough anymore to try and stand
alone - you must interop.
Something even Microsoft has learned. As are other Linux distros. It is
just a pity and plainly petty for 2 players (Redhat and Ubuntu) to take such
parochial stance on this and not wanting to play ball for the betterment of
he game as a whole.

I never said "most" but the number are not inconsiderable. If not then why
all he bitching about making the internal protcols for the server platform
more open so that others can interop too?

Or wise business move that helps them and the wider IT community with better
interop.
You have such a narrow view of things. You need to take a bigger picture
view of the IT landscape and then your realize how important interop and
coop are.

Or you can talk to them about the deal they are offering, or play the
waiting game and let your product and its interop stagnate while others move
ahead in the industry.

Viable alternatives? You're trying to pass off a toy os as a real
alternative to Vista? Don't make me laugh!
You're joking of course?
Also "Viable alternatives to Vista is ON TOPIC' is something you made up
to suit your own sicko agenda.
And because this ng is not moderated, scumbags linux loser trolls like
you get by with doing basically whatever you want to do.
Try doing that over at your open sores church-trash dot.
You're pathetic!
