The best way to make something go away is to either ignore it or embrace it, not fight it. If I were a large company owner, and saw a lot of news programs speaking of microsoft stock plumeting, and microsoft in court for antitrust issues, I think I might be looking for alternatives. While looking for alternatives, I happen to be browsing MSFT's website, and see MSFT vs Linux. Well now, I can see what the competition has to offer.
Thanks for the advertisement Bill.

Wink i know, but its ok, bill wont live forever!

ok, for one thing, who in the shit cares if you have to log in twice. ive never had to log in twice... what the hell are they talking about? you only have to login more than once if you want root privilages. man this world is full of liars and screwheads who want to rip you off. how long will microsoft get away with this shit? the one thing microsoft doesnt mention is that there are many different customized versions of linux and if some aspects of linux are not right for a job then it is possible to change them.
microsoft makes billions of dollars off of changing a few dozen lines of the code off whatever their previous os was dont they? lol
