| schestowitz | successes. They attack people who help the cause, using defamation, blackmail, | Oct 25 09:39 |
| schestowitz | and libel. FWIW, not replying to the trolls does not mean they are right. | Oct 25 09:39 |

| qu1j0t3 | expenditure of more than $100 million to crush linux? | Oct 25 13:58 |
| qu1j0t3 | nonsense. as the single greatest threat, they have certainly spent tens of billions to crush linux. | Oct 25 13:58 |
| qu1j0t3 | which is a losing tactic | Oct 25 13:59 |
| MinceR | imagine if they spent that kind of money on developing a product that does not totally suck | Oct 25 14:02 |
| MinceR | :> | Oct 25 14:02 |
| qu1j0t3 | right | Oct 25 14:02 |
| qu1j0t3 | there's no way there from here | Oct 25 14:02 |

| MinceR | and there's the UEFI "secure" boot issue | Oct 25 14:21 |
| schestowitz | Microsoft also has a lot of power over government and can force its way into some contracts for years to come, although there too they will lose. | Oct 25 14:21 |
| schestowitz | Google seems to have taken a lot of their pie along with Red Hat and IBM | Oct 25 14:21 |
| schestowitz | Not as much revenue for them | Oct 25 14:21 |

| schestowitz | I wrote to Google about Microsoft patents | Oct 25 17:08 |
| schestowitz | "I know you are not associated with Google's legal department, but Google's reluctance to engage in legal action or invoke the RICO Act in defence of Android seems to be disappointing many people who are cheering for the success of the platform (the "desktop Linux dream come true" as you put it). By neglecting to take legal action and also accumulating its own patents (some months ago you told me Google was exploring the | Oct 25 17:08 |
| schestowitz | purchase of patents, shortly before the Motorola news came in) GNU/Linux platforms such as Ubuntu are left ever more vulnerable to extortionate moves from Microsoft, which the latter will use as "precedence" -- a sort of credibility test for assertions made without substantiation. Google does have the pocket to stand up to abusive behaviour that constitutes antitrust violations." | Oct 25 17:08 |
