I just wanted to say "thank you!" It's so great to see people interested
in providing tools to make the lives of others easier, as opposed to
Microsoft, which seems happy to interfere with the work of its
"valued" customers, in order to play dirty tricks on those it views as
competitors.
It's also great to see that their dirty tricks don't work so well against
the nimble competition provided by free software.
Couldn't this kind of behaviour be raised in the antitrust trial to
further illustrate Microsoft's unwillingness to change its conduct? I
supposed it's really to late for that now, since appeals courts don't
accept new evidence, but hasn't Microsoft done this kind of thing to Samba
before?

Marriage is not defined as "the adult of your choice", marriage
is defined as "the adult OF THE OPPOSITE SEX". Gays are just as
free to participate as non gays.

Yeah, but that's why I mentioned it to my colleague. It's so G*DD*MN
obvious! He fully agreed with me, copyright infringement is largely a
bogus argument.
Sorry, but I tend to get a bit worked up when confronted with inconsistent
and/or illogical reasoning (no, I don't have pointed ears).

I've dealt with Win2K systems since B3, and I've never had it.

Apparently you are unaware that doing such a thing is illegal,
and a ban on guns would not change that situation. In fact, even without
a gun, according to what I have read lately, he would be legally
entitled to anally electrocute you.

You own some little ribbons you like to flaunt when you're among

Bah.. 2 buildings?!? That's child's play. :)
We have 20+ buildings in town here.. and networked together. The backbone
between some isn't gig (I think ATM) but we also have engineers that sit in a
