As background, and in order to reduce repetition, consider previous posts about the subject, notably:
Well, it seems final now. Microsoft's CEO
will be deposed, having been pretty much proven an involved party in this massive collusion, which helped Intel make billions of dollars at the expense of innocent customers who followed Microsoft's fraudulent guidance.
A federal judge ordered Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer to testify in a class-action lawsuit revolving around Microsoft's marketing prior to the launch of its Windows Vista operating system.
This is also covered
here. The litigators will hopefully tape this one and the plaintiffs share this too. It's the victim's (public) right to be made aware of all evidence.
IDG is
covering this too. It shows that not only customers are pissed off; Microsoft has severely wounded its relationship with OEMs.
Microsoft Corp. asked a federal judge yesterday to end the class-action lawsuit that has been the source of a treasure trove of embarrassing insider e-mails that have showed the company bent to pressure from Intel Corp. and infuriated longtime partner Hewlett-Packard Co.
This may explain why Hewlett-Packard has proceeded to developing its own GNU/Linux distribution. It happened more recently, after the company
had dumped Novell's SUSE as it should have [
1,
2]. Like many others, H-P looks ahead and sees what's coming. Vista 7 is just
another scam and
claims that it is thinner than its brother Vista might return Microsoft to the same trouble they face court for at the moment.

One of the previous posts in LINKS pointed to a Preston Gralla post: http://blogs.computerworld.com/what_the_vista_junk_pc_suit_means_for_windows_7_netbooks where he says, "What will happen when Windows 7 netbooks hit the market? Will they run all of Windows 7's features, or be partially crippled, as were the "Vista Capable" PCs?"
It seems that ASUS is upping the hardware to be able to run VISTA-7. Steven Sinofsky, Senior Vice President of Windows and Windows Live, showed off Windows 7 on an ASUS Eee PC "This one is a 1 gigabyte ram, 16 gig SSD, it's got an Atom dual-core chip in it, 1.6 gigahertz, and it's running full Windows. So you don't have to go down-level, you don't need anything stripped down, this is a full Windows experience on this PC."

You should tell your friend to uninstall it, otherwise he's infected with Novell taint.
(I'm being sarcastic and mocking your hypocrisy in case you couldn't tell)

I'm also not interested in defending Microsoft.

You're a clever guy. You can spot it. ;-)
Voluntarily or not, you have that effect.
