When will M$ learn ?

Microsoft has always done everything to prevent others from accessing their platform. The Samba and OpenOffice teams (among others) must go through hoops just to make sure their products work with Windows or MS Office. Now, we're told that people should pay 99 $ for what would be better achieved with free software, had Microsoft really cared for interoperability ? That's sick.

Yesterday, the GPL was viral, anti-capitalist, communist, anti-american. Today, all of a sudden, it is good for business. My goodness, even whores have more dignity than Microsoft executives.

This legalese surely sounds like this : "Buy this product, it's better than the competition. But we are not sure of what the previous sentence means".
