Subject: Re: [NTLK] convincing arg against MS OS
maybe their licensing schemes?(the oft postponed "you've got to keep paying
us for upgrades whether you use them or not) or the way they force
companies into OEM contracts? (you pay x dollars for windows if you don't
manufacture pc's with any other OS installed, or y dollars if you want the
freedom to install the OS that your customers want) or perhaps their track
record for theft of intelluctual property ?(W2K actually credits apple
ciopywrite in some spots of the source,so they're making progress) or the
way they say things like "we've got kerberos" when they're kerberos is
different from everyone elses to the point of not really being kerberos? or
perhaps the way they insult and beat up on the federal government the
anti-trust lawsuit (wait a minute... i think i got to take that last one
back....) JMHO
