Down with XP!
jtpenrod:
It seems that they never learn. We've heard this before. Isn't that basically what Ballmer said when he threw that temper tantrum in court a couple of weeks ago? At that time, it seemed to be nothing more than an empty threat. Now, I'm not so sure. Macro$uck seems to have grown so arrogant lately that they may actually believe their own bullshit. They may really believe that pulling Win XP from the market will cause the sum total of computing to come to a screeching halt. Fine by me. This would give *NIX such a tremendous boost, that M$ would never recover once it began to dawn on them that the universe doesn't revolve around Redmond, and never did.
Dare we hope?(!)

HAHAHAH! While looking for stuff about M$'s crusade against open source and the GPL, look at this bucket 'o bull dropings I found on their very own site! If this doesn't smell like FUD what does. Look at the totaly cheep conspicuous use of BOLD and large text:
http://www.microsoft.com/Windows/embedded/xp/evaluation/compare/notlinux.asp
This is why I say: DOWN WITH XP AND M$!!!!
WOW! I started finding more M$ Linux stuff besides this embeded systems crap:
http://www.microsoft.com/sbserver/evaluation/compare/linux.asp
In each one they site the GPL as a fault in Linux.
Very interesting.

Well after reading that I am going to get up at 5am and go wait outside walmart until it opens so I can run in a buy a bunch of copies of XP.
NOT!!!
HEHEH
Seriously this sounds like just more propaganda.
Do anything, say anything to stay on top. Apparently that is the way it works.

I'll grant Macro$uck one point: embedded systems isn't one of Linux's stronger points. However, they are so obsessed with Linux that they could be setting themselves up for a real fall. The major strength of the QNX op-sys is embedded systems. QNX could easily fly in right under M$'s radar and blind-side them.
Wouldn't that be poetic justice? :D

BIGGEST LOAD OF FUCKING SHIT I'VE EVER SEEN
For example:
* The MP3 basic decoder costs about $0.50 per-unit. If an OEM wants the enhanced functionality of MP3 Pro, it will pay an additional $2.50 per-unit royalty. For MP3 Pro encode and decode, costs can run an incremental $7.50 per-unit.
WHat fucking drug was the writer taking.
I didnt pay anything XMMS or MPEG123
I think someones been into the crack
