acer-boxUpdating is a problem: I suspect that during an update they swiped/wiped a link and files to my art work.....I suspect that it was deliberate. as no other files seemed to be disturbed..They do not like Foxfire and I don't like IE.  Also, I see they are copy catting MAC by updating the next spy and AI ......I can tell they are reading my habits just in my sign in.  urgNov 25 03:55

schestowitzThe old saying: “A leopard does not change it’s spots” is still so very true. I am seriously skeptical of what Microsoft is up to. Also, there is an amazing amount of media coverage of things like " Edge is coming to Linux" “Microsoft is one of he main contributors to open source” and so on and so forth. I think we are seeing the old embrace and extinguish tactic at play again.Nov 25 08:13

schestowitzHonestly, I think Windows is too complex to clone properly, beyond what Wine has done, after decades of development. It's good enough of a clone to run games and quite a number of office apps, but it's too big to clone completely. That's why I got curious about FreeDOS.Nov 25 17:24

schestowitzIf the Oracle v. Google lawsuit isn't reversed (again), and APIs are deemed copyrightable, then the pendulum on IP will have moved in a direction not seen since Lotus won their "look and feel" lawsuit against a competitor to 1-2-3 (which they put out of business with the suit).Nov 25 17:24

schestowitzI think the strongest points against Microsoft are that it's bad to have a single supplier of critical infrastructure who abuses IP law (copyrights & patents) and FUD to push out competitors. That's all you have to say. They're not also putting in backdoors on purpose for spies.Nov 25 17:24

schestowitzRoy, the essence of the article was 'judge plans to rule on  case'. When you set aside that attorneys have been waiting for the judgment for two years, it isn't exactly groundbreaking. Judges always rule on cases - that is their entire job descriptionNov 25 17:26

schestowitzI agree they should answer all questions fully and transparently. They have said some things, but not without outside pressure. Answers have been selective and/or evasive. This raises red flags for sure. I am avoiding them until they answer.Nov 25 17:53
