Any day now I expect to see some OS asserting that users can't research how to utilize another OS with that OS as a condition of use in the United States. Good point. There seems to be no limit to what a vendor can stipulate in their EULA. I have seen one that prohibits benchmarking of their product. That is close to what you describe. * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *

Re: [CGUYS] Evil Apple...
It is time for legislation to set our cell phones free. Just making cell phones free or independent of carriers likely won't really improve things. I point to the up and down ability of the Palm pre to masquerade as an IPOD with Itunes under windows and on the Mac as an example of what can be done even if phones could easily switch networks and carriers. I'm also cynical about the type of legislation offered when said leglslators are willing to allow RIAA suits to proceed with outrageous penalties for what amounts to a claim of copyright infringement and unlawful distribution. The legal penalties are actually less for photocopying a book and distributing said photocopy than downloading an MP3 and leaving it available to be distributed.

Just a correction here., The Palm Pre does not run Windows. It runs the newest Palm Software.
