Story: Microsoft's antitrust concessions are 'pointless'

To MS users, who do actual IT work...
How misinformed and idiotic is your conclusion and debates. People still work on computerswithout knowing a word of the code its running, and thats what ought to be, but people like us who have to support know how difficult it is to support MS when something goes wrong, usually the first and last word is format and reload the OS (-:.
Software is a domain rembling mind. if tomorrow, someone says dont think because I have patented and $ucked it, and if you support it, theng go live with them, spare the readers here!
I prefer a more free and transparent world, where If the S/W is available and its not patented and yes its source available, so that in case the company goes caput, I can always do something. And free or not free is not a debate.. Redhat is earning! Samba geeks are well paid (-: and I am sure MS would be dreaming to recruit such geeks ;).
Dont worry, Like MS you folks should learn the hard way, which is coming...
IF MS decides it's next future versions will be closed OS's, they will have taken the worst buisness dicision.
