You call that "funding"? They got fined for their illegal behaviour.

And they're upsetting everyone as well.

The German government has already moved to Linux.

Most web servers already run on it.

Ubuntu seems to be a 'human friendly' Linux that works.

Microsoft seem to realise this and seem to be trying to get out of the
operating system business. Why else do you think they're trying to buy
Yahoo?

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland
I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate
All these moments will be lost in time, like icecream on the beach
Time for tea.

US should fine them too - antitrust/monopoly as they keep prices just low
enough to keep out competition. They copy the best apps out there and
"bundle them" thereby putting the first company ( "the one with the
vision") out of business.
