I wasn't to sure I saw things correctly when I went to the FireFox homepage to download FireFox 2 onto my notebook.
But much to my surprise, I wound up at the MS FireFox home page!
I have not heard of anything about this, and it took me quite by surprise. Did any of you guys hear of anything like this happening?
How do you feel about Microsoft's acquisition of FireFox?

Our debute will consist of a lucious female santa that gives all good boys whatever they ask for, and all the naughty boys a good spanking.
Oh goody, first I'm gonna be real good, tha get the 'pressies'....then I'm gonna be real, real bad so I can go across her knee.
And NO - MS dosen't own Linux....
Maybe not...YET, but you'd be surprised at just how much MS actually owns and markets under alternate labels/brand names.....deeper investigation into components and software can often reveal Microsoft is the 'parent' company/manufacturer.

MS will never own Linux. You can't own something that is free and is not owned by anyone.
One of these days you all will open your eyes...

well no, MS can't own Linux, but it can package a distro like so many others, and sell it.
You need to open your eyes my friend. SuSE is currently sleeping with MicroSoft. The news I here is together, they are speculating on developing a hybrid Linux/Windows distribution.
Ain't that an eye opener?

That's f**king sick. Of course Bill's always late, the Mac boys got there first, just as Steve did the first time, well... when he 'jacked Xerox.
Ain't that an eye opener?
Here's another one for ya, only it does the penguin a big favor in the fight against Microsoft.

Gee, I wonder what MS SuSE will do to the Mac OS? That will be interesting. I think it's interesting enough booting the Mac OS to current many Windows boxes.

I suppose you never heard of "The Great Wall of China"?
Anyway, nobody really "needs" anybody, but I suppose when you hold a majority of the market share by a LONGSHOT....well you draw your own conclusions

Not true. I hang out at Linux forums most of the day these days and everybody is pretty much ditching SuSE becuse of what they did. I dig up some links for you later. The story is suppossed to be that Novell did this to keep MS from sueing them over what MS claims, MS claims that the Linux kernel uses some form of MS code.
So anyhow talk to you later.

Well ain't this just a perfect world....we got Linuxers hating MSers & Macers....we got Macers hating MSers & Linuxers....we got MSer's hating Linuxers & Os-Xers.....
Oh bugger it, let's have a 'small minded' all in brawl to decide who's best....last man standing wins.
Yeah, the companies wheel n' deal to compete....but it's the one eyed, small minded twit fanbois who make this OS wars thing such a farcical (idiotic) affair. In some respects, this takes me back to kindy: "My dad's bigger than your dad!"
At least back then there was flesh n' blood evidence to back up or disprove the claims, but Oses/software are a bunch of dots, zeros and ones that, when loaded into various assemblages of electronic gear, will work differently for different people, alternate uses, so what sense does it make to get up on the fence at daybreak and crow to the world about OS preferences/what works best for you....
I mean, some people use Kleenex, some Wondersoft, and others just tear up strips of newspaper: some prefer the roll end to the front while others like it facing the wall...then some fold while others scrunch, but you never see those preferences being adveritised, bandied about all over the net....peoples hiney wiping preferences, that is. So what is it that brings out the childishness/bickering when it comes to OSes/computers?
There must be more to life than OS arguments....think I'll go check out some recipe books to see who claims to have the best curried cabbage.

M$ can't own Linux... it's a different freebees piled as an OS and called Linux... If M$ DOES own Linux, I'm shocked, but trust be, I'm not shocked.

Well most Linux users hate Windows and MS.
I think it's pretty stupid to hate a person because of the OS they end-use.
If M$ DOES own Linux, I'm shocked, but trust be, I'm not shocked.
No, it's just like you say Enigma, MS can never truly own Linux, however they can put their own distro together.
Just to note, remember who Bill gates was working for when DOS was developed, just before he broke away to develop MSDOS in his new company Microsoft?
IBM, a blue-chip stock and one of the pioneers of computing technology.

I don't think that FireFox will ever want to collaborate or merge in with Microsoft. Not a smart thing to do.
