The case, initiated by the E.U. in January, accused Microsoft of
illegally tying Internet Explorer to Windows to stifle competition in
the browser market, breathing new life into issues that were at the
core of the landmark Department of Justice antitrust suit against
Microsoft a decade ago...
Google, which last year rolled out Chrome, a competing browser, said
it was also applying to become a “third party” in the European
proceeding.
“Google believes that the browser market is still largely
uncompetitive, which holds back innovation for users,” ...“This is
because Internet Explorer is tied to Microsoft’s dominant computer
operating system, giving it an unfair advantage over other
browsers.” ...
[Antitrust experts question timing...]
Microsoft’s share of the browser market had decreased to 68 percent in
January, from about 80 percent two years ago, according to Net
Applications, a research firm. Firefox had about 21.5 percent of the
market, while Safari, made by Apple, 8.3 percent, and Google’s Chrome,
1 percent....

<Snipped off topic crap>
What is it with you university people, ranting Microsoft, while working
every day on top notch Windows computers?
Especially nessuno-LittleJohn tard and spamtard Roy/Racine Schestowitz!
Robert Littlejohn, Professor Plasma Physics Nonlinear Dynamics at Berkeley
AKA Nessuno uses university computers (128.32.124.193 / wigner.Berkeley.EDU)
to spam and " *bullshit* " this group with his lies and off-topic rants
(quoting Peter Kohlmann). I wouldn't want to have a liar "teaching" in a
lecture-room, if I was Robert J. Birgeneau, Chancellor of Berkeley.
Roy (Racine) Schestowitz, who cut off his balls for Linux, is a career
college student at some liberal artsy university. He has never had a job or
any responsibility in his life and his poor parents have been supporting his
butt for many years. Instead of actually graduating like you're supposed to
this proven liar spends 24 hours a day, 7 days a week (including all
holidays) posting lies to every corner of the internet. He posts to a
Microsoft-hate newsgroup called COLA for instance where he finds the time to
make thousands of posts each month.
Really... this is no exaggeration. He literally makes several thousand posts
per month to this lowly newsgroup instead of studying or getting a job. He
was posting so much and misusing his college computers so much that after
several warnings and complaints his school had no choice but to suspend his
internet posting privileges. (He's not supposed to use school computers for
personal gain.) Now he uses Mark Kent's account (another linux liar) to spew
his lies and hatred from.
He was recently found guilty of stealing artwork from other websites and
posting them on his site despite the clear and obvious copyright warnings.
He has no hesitation in shamelessly stealing the work of others and posting
it up on his website as his own in order to try and make a few pennies
profit.
Other than posting to COLA he has his own anti-Microsoft website and created
for-profit websites that attempt to boycott linux vendors he doesn't like
such as Novell, Xandros and etc. His specialty is to take news stories and
twist the headline and contents of the story into something that was never
written. Unsuspecting readers will see the post from Roy
Schestowitz and assume it's the truth when in reality it's nothing but lies,
delusions, ravings and rants from this immature child."

| The question that isn't often asked though is: "Can you trust Net

| outside the scope of this story. What can be said though is that Net

| In my own research of the Web traffic history of computer, but not

Some folks have no choice in what platform they use, at school or at work
or wherever. Then again, being forced to actually *use* the crap tends
to bring home the point that it is, in fact, crap.
So your complaint, essentially, is that they get to see, firsthand, just
how bad the stuff is, then they say so, on an OS advocacy group? Yeesh,
give me a break.
Then tell your employer that you refuse to use a Windows OS. Stop bitching.
Why do you honor this crazed troll with any kind of rationalization.
He's one of the nasty Usenet cranks that post filth here.
If you want to have fun with him, fine. But don't bother dignifying his
bullshit.

The Linonut ( Chris Ahlstrom) liar
This liar has nothing to say or add to the conversation. His posts are
mindless little "one-liners" where he fails at his attempt at humor. Terms
like "Billy Box" are probably funny for small children but grown-ups quickly
tire of such tripe.
He is a typical linux and COLA fanatic in several ways. First of all is that
while he thinks of himself as some sort of "advocate" he's more of a
hypocrite because he write proprietary Windows software for a living. Then
complains how bad Windows and proprietary software is. Worse yet he can't
even convice his own wife and daughter to use linux who continue to use
Windows every day.

7.6 Trespasser Disinformation Tactics
[6.] When your tactics are turned on you, call your opponents
trolls. Do not accept the fact that by calling someone using
your tactics a troll that makes you the real troll.
13. Embarrass your opponent. Locate or create apparently
embarrassing information or detail and utilize it out of all
proportion-trying to create a scandal around it, to hijack a
thread or drive everyone to distraction.
14. Blackmail your opponent. Locate or create apparently
embarrassing information or detail and threaten your opponent
with exposure to force him to do as you want him to. This tactic
can be combined with the "Embarrass your opponent" tactic if you
can no longer get your way though Blackmail.

Subject: 3.3 The destructive Troll
In about the year 1999 a new breed of Troll appeared who
have the declared intention of destroying a specific Target
newsgroup. This is done by a variety of posts, (see
Section 4) intended to drive normal posters away from the
specific newsgroup.
When the percentage of Troll posts, including followups
exceeds about 75% of the total posts, most readers seem to
just give up and unsubscribe. Usenet, and particularly the
uk.local.* hierarchy is for most users a hobby and if that
hobby ceases to be enjoyable, the obvious answer is just to
find another hobby.

Poor High Plains Thumper :(
It appears he is now nym shifting as Vinny Fritters.
I never thought he could top his Wendy Toiletwater nym, but it appears he
might have.
It's funny how the rec.motorcycles group didn't catch on that many of their
"female" posters over the years were really High Plains Thumper nym
shifting.
Maybe he should just get the operation and become female like another COLA
poster has already done?
It might calm him down.

Rather sad attempt at lying. Last time this troll cross posted
to Reeky, it backfired.
He is fortunate that someone hasn't already popped a cap in his mofo.
