All Things Microsoft > Microsoft as a Company
We won! (sorta...)

No, I'm saying that, for example, instead of people complaining to Adobe that they want a Linux port of Photoshop, it would be better for the community if they would instead use the money they would have spent on Linux Photoshop licences to funding development of free alternatives such as the Gimp. But if they have to use it until the Gimp is adequate for their needs better they run it under Wine (if photoshop ran under Wine) rather than bring the whole body of proprietary software over to our free OS.
Doogee:
Wine is shit just like WineX and anything else that encourages develepors not to make NATIVE Linux Ports. If people want to play there games they should pester the developors or dual boot.

Code leaks>>> People use it to pull WINE out of Alpha stage>>> More people switch to Linux>>> People start making ports for Linux>>>M$ is sqaushed away
It is a failed plan. Just compare it to OSX, Apple withholds some code but the core is open source and EVERYONE can edit it.
Those people cannot edit it and only look at it. Only M$ can edit it. We all know M$, M$ ignores bug reports for at least half a year or so.

The kernel of OS-X is open source, which is bullshit, i want aqua
they just did the kernel to suck you in and not make them look like dirty barsteds.

i know, they should atleast release specs on it, or give it away like mit did with X11, then agian, mit just wanted x11 to be the most "successful" software

yeah right. that is their fucking baby. i dont ever see aqua going open. i wouldnt ever release it either. if i had developed the dopest graphical interface, and wanted people to keep buying my systems, i would never show anyone the code for aqua.
im glad to see them keep their core, safari, rendezvous, etc.. openSource, but not their interface. its too clean. if xWindows can't do something as least as clean as aqua, then fuck xWindows. fuck m$ cheap ass UI too.
what i would love to see, is a graphical interface that puts the mac to shame. i just dont see it happening. (waiting for the flame, but its cool, i have got the fire extenguisher.)
