SUXX! - What King of printed Gates declared war?

           SUXX! (2)


(C) MR.JOHN / JS / TNL



           Hello!



  With you again I'm on the line.
And again, I'll tell you
something antimaykrosoftovskoe.
I just terribly pleased
fuck'at this idiotic company and
its leader deBilla Gates.


  At this time we have matured scandal global scale, where
poor (not that he is poor!) Bill want to fuck. Well
OK, go straight to the point.
I read here once in the "KP" one short article and I want her 
to share with you: 



  WHAT COMPUTER KING

    Gates announced WAR?


   American wealthy ago

    in Russian: dislike
 when they are reminded that before

      law all are equal ...


  While in Russia, tentatively moving toward a civilized 
market, to combat monopolies are just beginning, the 
connections of the States, it has long been the case habitual. 
But even the Americans were impressed new scandal: the 
all-seeing fly American justice has got

the richest businessman of the planet
- Computer magnate Bill
Gates ...


  Who is Gates? According to recent calculations of "Phobos"
state of the 42-year old owner
Microsoft Corporation is estimated at nearly $ 37 billion ...


  But the antitrust committee of the Ministry of Justice is 
trying to to prove that his billions

Bill is making absolutely illegal methods. This
conflict threatens to escalate into a real war that has already
dubbed the "browser wars" -
so-called programs to work in networks. If you take the upper 
hand rivals Gates, Bill can

obliged to pay fines on
one million dollars a day!


  In the 95-year Microsoft has banned the use of their monopoly 
position in operating systems market to put pressure on 
manufacturers of computers. Indeed, the only "maykrosoftovskie" 
Windows programs and Dos set at 80 percent

all computers ...

J> Do not forget, we are talking
only pisyukah ...


  But the Web browser, Microsoft - "Explorer" - receives far 
less in demand than a similar product in the company "Netscape" 
under the name "Navigator". Because of this

actually broke the entire
fuss. Browsers are the most promising product in the
computer market - they
particular, allow the owners
personal computers to enter
Internet. Strategists
Microsoft has failed to timely
to catch this trend and money
already flowed into the pocket more farsighted rival firm.
Way out ambitious
Gates found quickly - should be obliged to computer 
manufacturers, systems using Windows,

install in their cars
exclusively browsers from
"Microsoft".


  From Gates said he quickly moved to
case. The first lesson was presented to the company, "Compaq 
Computers": a clear sympathy for the Netscape browser it was 
denied the right distribute Windows'95 ...



  So, Gates, according to his
Foes, encroached on the most
holy market economy - freedom of choice. Here is his word
said the U.S. Department of Justice, or rather the head
its anti-monopoly committee
Joel Klein ...


  Who it is preferable
chances in the duel Klein-Gates? On
side of the first - the perfect knowledge of the spirit and 
letter of the law. Gates is clearly trying to tighten further 
and further into the maze of his opponent purely technical 
disputes, where feels like a fish in water.

Gates' main argument: "Ekplorer" - part of the system
Windows, which means that they must be implemented together. But
here it is disingenuous - to this process, the browser of 
Microsoft and advertised and sold as

completely samostayatelny product. Another thing is that the 
system Windows'98, which in future date

will be the way, the browser
really be in a "package".


  Wait for that game, it remains
long - the final trial is scheduled for Dec. 5.

                Jaroslav Karam.
