Come on Amiga Inc :) - Jump on the Sue MS bandwagon :)...

Infact, being that they are to announce something very soon with MS, that might not be the best idea :).

"We believe that Microsoft's ultimate goal is nothing less than to establish Microsoft-controlled choke-points to Internet access so that Internet access is available using only products made by or approved by Microsoft," Morris said.

About time someone said that  ;-)

Looks like there gonna have a go at .net aswell as the java thing...

Yes, I would like to see Amiga Inc.. sue for breach of contract, stemming from the agreements that M$ and Commodore had for software developent that never eventuated.

This is getting boring. M$ sued for the 111:th time. But on the other hand, this morning when I sat and read the morning paper, I saw a statement from some microsoft asshole that they "...will make the internet Microsoft Net.".

Could someone please nuke Redmond right now and deal with the consequences later... Or just brand M$ as an illegal terrorist organisation and put them behind bars in Cuba.

The situation is just as alarming as if the cigarette corporations would start to buy up all existing (snail) mailservices in order to spread smoking advdertisement to children no matter what the law says, and threaten to cut of all mailservice if someone opposed to them.

Posting stupidities anonymously is the lowest of low. Atleast I put my name on my stupidities.

Maybe I should be the next person to sue Microsoft.  I figure 14 years of mental anguish using its blasted InOperating System at work should be sufficient for a court case. :)
