Andy Martin of The Committee to Fight Microsoft on Tuesday announced his intentions to block Microsoft from releasing its Windows Vista operating system. Martin intends to ask Microsoft for an unconditional warranty that the operating system is free of bugs that could result in security vulnerabilities. He argues that no company in America gets away with selling a "defective" product the way Microsoft does.

Believe it or not, I was getting better quality news streaming from RealPlayer. But forget it: just tell MS to make WMP for Linux (I bet they won't)

Do you think people in Lin$ux community will buy? Lin$ux community if full of cheapos who will use substandard tools if its free and will never pay. Let aside enterprise users which anyways won't need a media player in most cases.
