I don't know anything about Vobis, but the claim flies in the face the facts
so is most likely false. It (ppla) didn't land Microsoft in trouble. The
DOJ, after wasting 12,000 man hours crawling up Microsofts ass looking for
ANYTHING, found absolutely no prosecutable offences. And thus had to stand
before a judge and declare "We have found no prosecutable offences" but have
reached an agreement with MS volunteering to cease and descist on a couple
issues. MS was being extremely generous agreeing to ANYTHING because the DOJ
didn't have a leg to stand on.

Does the exclamation mark "!" indicate that that was news to you?
Well... Even without VC's, you can multitask on Linux with a 386.
Simply learn to suspend a program with Ctrl-Z and bring it to the
background with the shell command "bg". Learn also the "fg" command
and "jobs" command. Learning to put an ampersand "&" at the end of a
command to start the job in background provides more convenience.
I used to multitasking computers that way on Linux and on console-mode
SUN workstations. That's a simple skill and knowledge which doesn't
require a Ph.D. as prerequisite. And the assumption that you NEED a
GUI to multitask is simply ungrounded.
