MS Case
-
Am I the only one who thinks that if the justice department turns Windows into a computer version of legos where any part can be replaced, your average use won't give a damn? I don't see the point of it. However, I have always felt that manufactures should be allowed to ADD software to their distributions. But this idea of MS-Lego-Windows scares the hell out of me. Tim Smith I know what you're thinking punk, you're thinking did he spell check this document? Well, to tell you the truth I kinda forgot myself in all this excitement. But being this here's CodeProject, the most powerful forums in the world and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question, Do I feel lucky? Well do ya punk?

Sorry Tim, are you talking about the DOJ remedies. I'm totally out of touch with whats happening, so I assume they are trying to "unbundle" Windows, from your post. What I guess it means is instead of buying one copy of Windows, consumers will have to buy Windows broken up over several DVD's to have an operable system. It might cost MS some cash to impliment, but they'll just pass the costs on to consumers. Regardz Colin J Davies

Putting more contractors hat on, it sounds like a good way for me to make more money by configuring Windows systems :-D As a developer it's a bad idea, you'd never know what system your software was going to be installed on. You'd be back to shipping full cds of dlls and components. Michael :-)
