– Microsoft using it’s most skilled department, Legal. If Microsoft would just spend money on making a good product, they wouldn’t feel like they needed to do this. Pretty pathetic Microsoft.
– And after Gates comes back, they’ll all ride Unicorns. Really.
– It’s sad that there’s still so much IE6 out there. It is a perfect example of the stagnation of the computer and Operating System market.

– You’d think spending that much money, they’d be able to make a decent product. I can only think that bureaucratic meddling getting in the way of real progress.
– Interesting news. Oracle not giving us the full story?
– This kind of thing makes me sick, and makes me want to format the hard drive of every Windows computer I see and install Linux on it.

– I wonder how far you have to follow the money before you reach Microsoft or Apple. My bet, not far. Of course, this could just be some company wanting to make a nickel off of Google’s success. Wouldn’t be the first time.
– I am looking forward to seeing what this could be. The Galaxy Tab has been very interesting. Here’s hoping this is a worthwhile successor.
– Seems like you shouldn’t bother, but it’s possible. My recommendation, Fix the Windows machine by installing Linux.
– Ray Ozzie seems like he’s got a few more brain cells floating around upstairs than Steve Ballmer. This seems like a huge loss for Microsoft, and a huge gain for Microsoft’s competitors, who ever they are.

– I keep my hopes up for MeeGo, because it is a Linux based phone OS, which pretty much automagically makes it better than a Windows7 phone, but I’m starting to lose faith here.
– I can’t wait for the Verizon iPhone, just so all these stupid rumors will finally stop. Please Apple? Please Verizon? Make them stop?
