Not a VM but if it is a Win98 game it should run well on Wine.

Moonlight will never catch up with Silverlight, Microsoft should just release Silverlight for Linux or admit that they want to undermine Linux.

I should have posted a link with the stats, sorry. http://marketshare.hitslink.com/browser-market-share.aspx?qprid=2

True, and thanks to many convoluted reasons this wont happen for a long time. I can see IE7 and 8 dropping to single digit before IE6.

I wish this happened 9 years ago when they released IE6 and not now when theyfinally started to care about standards and performance. IE9 is good that I wont have to go to friends and family and talk them into the merits of switching and I don't mind seeing IE being at top if all IE instances were IE9 and later future releases. Then again Microsoft would have never cared if they didn't bleed market-share on a constant basis.

How is this anti-Microsoft? I think it is a good thing that Microsoft is using Freetype.

IBM says hello.

Do it Microsoft, I wont mind trying out IE9 on my Mac or Linux box.

Whoa there! Someone is getting ahead of themselves here! Reread what you typed and then reread it again. Ubuntu is still Free Software and for no charge, for the most part, and you can remove it if you don't want it.

how is this an advantage to Microsoft?

It is amazing how much support Adobe gets online and how much hate Apple gets for badmouthing Flash, when Adobe itself has a shoddy history of supporting many OSes, Apple is not to blame for their attitude towards Flash. The web is meant to be universal, but with some OSes lacking Flash support, and there are thousands of Flash sites, it'll never be. Adobe never cared about any OS other than Windows and Mac, so I'm glad that Jobs made it his mission to kill Flash.

No one can stop the x86 train, not even Intel.

If the reviews are any inclination, the iPad would do spectacularly well.

You are making it sound like a lot.
