I disagree, MS coding for *nix? All the time I am hearing from them that
open-source should be illegal!!! and now contrivuting to unix by making a
really good browser? They made a bad one so that you will be forced to move
to windows. thease days there is no competition for browers on the *nix
market: mozilla, konqui and opera. do we need more? is there room for more?
the ms way says: buy them. how could they buy konqui and mozilla? opera
could be bought, but anyway they dont have place here... what they could do
is make a close-source emulator for windows executables. They will do it
beter then wine. wiune will be more popular, but this is what I think.
