| oiaohm | That version takes different product keys. | Feb 15 08:36 |
| oiaohm | So windows 7 6 main versions. That then get printed in 3 sub versions per language region. ie OEM Retail and NRD | Feb 15 08:37 |
| oiaohm | Then you have each OEM makers remixed Installation disks that will auto install crap. | Feb 15 08:37 |
| oiaohm | Distrobution numbers of windows grows really quickly. | Feb 15 08:38 |

| schestowitz | Remember Microsoft's product placements in Family Guy? This not only caused resentment from me (I liked that show) but also got the producer under heavy fire before he pulled out, IIRC. The same goes for Jerry Seinfeld. Myself and others can no longer stand this sellout. It's all about perception and is xkcd turned its back on FOSS like Digg did (2007), it would be the domino brick leading to mass exodus. | Feb 15 10:02 |

| schestowitz | My friend Christian reminded Kevin Rose of how he started Digg from scratch with some Debian server/s and then turned to just drooling Mac fans, then Microsoft cash. Then there was editorial impact. Now the "Open Source" section of the site (where I am a leader with 2730 followers) has sponsored MS ads for IE, added into the section as bolted-in "content". | Feb 15 10:59 |

| schestowitz | another thing that occurred to me on Friday is | Feb 15 20:33 |
| schestowitz | the reason we keep calling CHina "thieves" and "pirates" is because it helps us justify our exploitation of them | Feb 15 20:34 |
| schestowitz | Or put different, our robbery of their lives and theft of their youth | Feb 15 20:34 |
