Re: [MLUG] Sun, Microsoft Pact Viewed As 'Unholy Alliance' AgainstLinux, IBM

So what are normal beings like myself to do.  If it's all true.  Yes 
Windows may go os x but when they have a steady or gaining markey its 
going to be the same old song and dance again, faulty software that 
won't do what you want unless you buy more software, bigger computer, 
more software bigger computer.  Doesn't work, lets virus in, more 
software, bigger computer.
Sorry but I think this is a bid for microsoft to be able to call 
themselves part of open source somehow.  Not a good thing???
