I am wondering how many arguing against Microsoft in this thread live
in countries that either have no intellectual property law or do not
enforce American intellectual property rights. And they probably have
never paid for software.

The irony.

You're referring of course to alias.

He is no excuse for littering the group with off-topic posts.

Any reasonable mature person would know that it doesn't justify a person to
be a criminal simply because there are criminals out there.

Seeing the defense arguments presented by their loyal fanbois, no wonder
their product qualities are detoriating

I don't know, but I live in the USA where they do. I even follow them.

The point is pretty much irrelevant though, since a US court made the
ruling.

A serious assumption on your part.

Look plain and simple Microsoft infringed on a Patent from another company
and they got convicted and that is stealing which is basically called theft
so what do you all know and how can Microsoft say they knew nothing about
that is it great how when companies break the law and commit crimes when
they get caught no one now it was a crime or wrong basically very true.

Uh, no.

The irony is that MS has accused developers of Linux distro's and Linux s/w
of infringing on like 100 and some patents that MS claims they own.

And then, they go out and do the same thing. (Allegedly.)

This has nothing to do with who lives where, it's the pot calling the
kettle black, and a 100 other cliche's.

The whole patent thing, and IP, is waaaaaay out of hand. And unfortunately,
with the state of the legal system in the US, it's usually *much* less
expensive to just settle and pay them, than it is to fight and be
vindicated. I'm sure it isn't what the 'founding fathers' had in mind.

get lost idiot

That is one statement we can agree on!

Who is this MS hating lying linux troll who keeps posting in this Vista
general ng and uses the name "measher-****-head"?
He doesn't have Vista cause he's financially broke and he hates MS.
He is a lying linux troll.

measher-****-head, aren't you the same fruitcake loser who was changing
everyone's post who disagreed with you at the printer ng? That was you
wasn't it, remember?
We all complained to your ISP and you eventually stopped doing it!

Also are you the stupid idiot who capitalized each and every word in
ever post at the printer ng until we all complained once again to your ISP?
Remember?

Also are you not the same moron who used to post in HTML even thought
everyone in all of the ng's you're in has complained about it and told
you to stop doing it?
Remember

Are you not the jerk who did all of that? You were weren't you!

Are you really as dense and as stupid and ignorant and as dumb as you
seem to be?
Are you?
You are aren't you!

And aren't you a declared austrian fascist, an atheist and a bigot?
You did proclaim to be all of those didn't you?

Take my advice measher-****-head, get lost and don't ever come back you
loser!

Want to know more about this idiot moron big mouthed loser who thinks he
knows something about ink, printers and paper when all he is, is a poser!

Taking Da Lamb Chop and rubbing Da Baboon every day Den adding one to Da
Jerk Count. Aren't you the ****tard who creates imaginary names starting
with DA and assigns them to random posters?

Aren't you the one who talks like a school kid with no brains?

Aren't you the ****TARD who adds to an imaginary Jerking Off Count?
