Microsoft Takes Linux For A Test Drive (TechWeb)Microsoft Takes Linux For A Test Drive (TechWeb)Posted Aug 1, 2003 10:05 UTC (Fri) by beejaybee (guest, #1581)In reply to: Microsoft Takes Linux For A Test Drive (TechWeb) by wweber Parent article: Microsoft Takes Linux For A Test Drive (TechWeb) "If they find a way to subtly "customize" their Internet protocols to totally hose any *nix/Linux systems trying to talk to them" What about the Java fiasco? Are M$ actually shipping a standards-compliant Java with Internet Explorer yet, or just their own broken version? How many e-commerce sites have you come across that won't work with Opera/Mozilla/Netscape because they have been coded to use only M$'s broken version of Java? I'm aware of quite a few ... when contacted, the web admins of these sites (at least, the few who bother to reply) state that their concern is for the majority market, they're simply not (much) worried if a few "screwballs" can't use their site. It's already happened. Anti-trust legislation has been tried but hasn't worked. In any case, by the time the legal process has ground to its conclusion, the point is moot, as technology has moved on & M$ have a virtual monopoly. So M$ are free to continue to tighten their stranglehold. Any ideas?
