Spoonman, I admire your passion and spirit for linux. however, nothing will be achieved by trolling the list and ridiculing me (and others) publicly . Let us end it here and talk sometime offline (say in the next ILUGD meeting). That might be more educational for both of us. With Warm Regards Tarun Upadhyay P.S. meanwhile you keep using mutt and I will keep using outlook. What is open source movement if not about choice? -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] i.org] On Behalf Of Spoonman Sent: Saturday, August 16, 2003 9:54 AM To: The Linux-Delhi mailing list Subject: Re: [ilugd] Office Depot Aids Monopoly{This is not a troll} -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 On Sat, Aug 16, 2003 at 03:19:56PM +0800, Sanjeev Ghane Gupta wrote: SanjeevWhy shouldn't he?

[ilugd] Office Depot Aids Monopoly
Interesting article about how Microsoft is extending its monopoly control over the PC market. It's interesting how devious and indirect these attempts are... I had to actually read through the full article to figure out how the Designed for Windows XP logo can be used by Microsoft for monopoly control. Amazing. Sometimes I admire the raw ingenuity of those chaps. I know there has been some adverse reactions on this list to discussions about Windows, and those opinions make sense to me. However, I have decided to post this message about Microsoft, because it may help some of us (e.g. Tarun Upadhyay) build a stronger case for open source alternatives, which after all attract all of us. http://www.aaxnet.com/editor/edit030.html Shuvam ___ ilugd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd
