Comment Nothing new for Borg Gates and Miclone$oft (Score 1) 712
Is it just me or does this seem terribly reminicent of the never-ending battle between M$ and Netscape? This is nothing new. Micro$oft is known for their exploitive behavior. They see something useful in another operating system or application and they assimilate it. How much of netscapes inovations now reside in the M$ Internet Explorer? Unix is just the target this time, and it will continue to be. There are many inovations in Unix systems that will be absorbed by M$. I would suggest that the Unix world start taking some ideas from M$, but we were the one who came up with them in the first place. It would be like pirating from ourselves! I don't know about anyone else, but I'm all for creating an exclusion in the GPL for microsoft and all its employees.
