You are really delusional
Now you are quoting me chopped up and left stuff out. You are a piece of work. You need to provide links to your claims because following you is too much of a chore. The links you are providing I have bookmarked.

Do not worry we are not impressed.

Well it did break it. What did you expect from total removal? Technical problem MS warned them it would break functionability in the first place. Including the DOJ.

Like I said you didn't like the link from MS's site. They are under the microscope. They are not lying. You need repeating to. Don't worry, I will not repeat it again.

But the EC didn't say that. Just Carlo Piana did. Just because Samba is broke doesn't make it MS's problem. Also if the license cannot work with the GPL, too bad. It could with modules from MS. Then they would claim them too expensive. We know how you guys operate.

Did you read the rest of the article where MS will provide them interoperability at a reduced cost. Discounts dude. But not free. Still cherry picking the sentences.

I know about the fine they already paid. When is the $5 million a day going to kick in. We are past the deadline. Maybe the EC didn't realize the technical problems would be greater than they thought.

If the GPL cannot work with commercial software or MS's they have to part company. MS doesn't owe the GPL squat.

When the EC ordered them out the first time. MS removed the WMP library. EC realized they went too far and ordered MS to put some back. They are always changing. Now you know why the government shouldn't program.

It has always been about the money. Those who don't have it do not provide jobs or pay taxes and have a little or no voice. The EC is not going to trash a taxpayer like MS or IBM for the likes of the GPL.

I introduced material that you refuse to quote correctly. But then you don't quote me correctly either. Everything is out of context. I guess everything is a lie unless it comes out of a linux publication. With you it is a waste of time.
