"Microsoft's Windows operating system contracts make that difficult. Computer makers get steep discounts on Windows if their products start up fast and look a certain way, which rules out most customization"
Wait, so those bastards at Microsoft encourage fast software and a consistant user interface!? I knew they were up to no good! I want my copy of Windows to be completely different than everybody elses, so I can have a support nightmare. Oh, not to mention I want my stuff to start up really slow! I'm real glad the DOJ and the States got after those evil bastards at MS! |

Not like we really have to worry... nothing is going to come from all these trials. Microsoft will get a slap on the wrist.
IMHO, they don't even really deserve that. :-) |
