Microsoft and Hollings' bill

Posted by: static on April 11, 2002 03:44 AM
I don't think M$ wants that bill to pass. If no one ever used a pirated version of windows (or office) less than half of the PC's in homes would be using M$. (instead of whatever it is now) Then they are suddenly not "the standard" for software or file formats. I used M$ right up until february, but I have never given them a cent.

This bill would cripple them because people still want free stuff, but they'd have to go elsewhere for it. Like linux.
