Microsoft stakes IP claims on OpenGL

And the human genealogy is next..

M$ decline started when they got scared by Linux. The non-success of the X-Box just confirms it. Eventually stockholders will see a pattern they don't like, figures that won't match up and that will be the end of it.

The console market is where hordes of pirhanas lurk, M$ was a shark that took a wrong turn.

@createcoms: You have to accept things like that if you keep on promoting M$ by giving them money. You vote for this behavior by buying M$ products. There's really just one thing to blame here; consumers of M$ products.

Besides, keep spontaineus outbursts of rage for yourself (no offence). I know I posted something similar myself back in the stoneage (nuke Redmond), but I wouldn't do it again today. I really don't blame you. The point is that rage is a substitute for real arguments. Sit down, think and find the real arguments and people won't dismiss you as a raging nutcase. That the power of slow communication; you actually have the time to find the killer argument.

The giant crushed another hundred developers, and there were no goliath in sight.

@createcoms: Ok. I'm not a 1oo% purist myself. I use my Amiga for everything except gaming (well, sometimes). Then it's either x86 or PS1 (soon PS2). I'm having serius thoughts about buying Amithlon; it's cheap and would keep me busy until the A1 arrives.

See the light and salvation:
C:SetPatch QUIET SKIPROMUPDATES=exec.library

An exec written in sluggish C? No way! Performance increase: about x4.

@teapot: A spineless SEC? SEC can't do anything but but talk. For real. They have no authority whatsovever. It's only an advisory. Harsh language is their only weapon. It seems like the only time they can (indirectly) fine a company is when they commit an outright fraud. Immoral and illegal conduct they can do little (if anything) about. Stuff like that is up to the (real) justice system. Whenever they discover something illegal they have to politely ask a judge to do something about it.

Removed incredible stupid comment. If you read it I appologise. Sorry. I'll blame it on the summer heat.
