**They got in trouble for Forcing the inclusion of their products as a condition of licensing to third party mfg’s **
That makes more sense.
Wow! This is really sad news. But i hear what you guys are saying with mozilla. but a problem will still lie there, you are using the Netscape kernal right? and arent most sites coded prodomadly for IE? I think you can see what i mean. still this is horrible. I really think a petition to both MS and Mac would be great. But not one on the boards, one on a site, that way we can post it on were-here, tutorialforums, and billybussey. Seriously, we cant let this go to far.
The newest versions of Netscape and Mozilla (which both run off the Gecko engine) do support more than previous versions, there are still things that don’t work, but those are usually “decorative” things and not functionality things.

**The costs of the Ivory towers must be waaay up …
…Ol’ BillboFaggins and HandJobs seem to need a cost of living raise…say a couple hundred-thousand more per hour … that…
Or both need to be beat in public…hmmmmm
start with Billy-Boy and see if Stevie gets the hint
what a couple of Maroons, what I would hope would happen is that the open source market will flourish with such fervor that it puts them both out of bussiness … one can hope, right ? :sure: **
Reland… I think you are right that we start with Billy and the evil empire, Jobs may fall in line…it would be in his best interest. not that Mac is all that great but Apple allows for the existence of MS in building software but MS does allow mac …I think this should change…
Yeah - I’ve got to give him credit … I can open and deal with much more window~centric stuff with my Precious than the other way round with the …er… appliance next to it =) =) =)
…but seriously, I still feel under the gun all the time to spend more just to keep up. I mean all the neat stuff and there flying out of Cupertino faster than I care to make so many changes.
You see? That’s why I would much rather choose to use another OS if I could. I can’t possibly use Linux because I’m not a network freak, I don’t want to use Mac OS because then i’d have to buy a whole new computer (i’ve built all my computers from scratch, i’m not stopping now), and i don’t wanna use BeOS because nobody’s heard of it.
That’s why I propose from this day forward, i’m going to start development of my own OS which I will call “Doors”, or “Thoridoors” whichever one sounds better. It will be free to the public, require all deletion of any trace of any Microsoftware on your computer. Of course, you will still be able to run all your windows-compatible software on it because the shell is going to be a direct rip from the XP version of windows. The only modifications i will make is to change *.crappyOS to *.goodOS and of course plaster my name and image all over the “floor” (which will be a replacement of the traditional “desktop”).
Developments should begin last June.
[size=1]My OS will require Flash player 6 or higher[/size]
HAHAHA, Thor you rock!
what i really would like to know is why people complain about it when most people on the net are using pirated OS, pirated appz among other things, but it is f@cked up that these people can do as they please and thers nothing we can do about it, because in the end we can b!tch all we want but they will always have their way
Grim - This is honeslty not a problem for the home user. It’s more of a corporate problem.
Huge companies are the ones that will feel the tingle in their wallets, cause they MUST have new software, new browsers, new OS’s.
I honestly couldn’t care less about which OS I’m on as long as I can use it as easily as windows, and I care even less about which browser, so long as it’s as good or better than IE. It’s not like there isn’t five hundred options for each.
Thor -
Will this Floor have a wallpaper-like functionality? Perhaps Tiling, or Carpet?
I’d like a floor carpeted with the kirupa logo.
hm…i was thinking more along the line of cherrywood, but carpet…hm…
60’s hippie shag carpet, dude.
oh that reminds me, i gotta get started on my flash lavalamp…
