Microsoft To Pull Windows From The Market? -- 9:51 am CST, Update by J.t.Qbe

That's what big baby Steve "Monkeyboy" Ballmer is threatening: if the remaining states who don't like Microsoft's "antitrust settlement" won't roll over and play dead, Microsoft may just have to pull Windows from the market and stop developing new versions.

Wait a minute. Is that supposed to be a threat or a promise?

The Master comments: Oh, please. So, is that why IBM went out of business in the 60's after that anti-trust ruling was made against them? Oh, wait, that's right, they survived that and are still making gobs of cash.

J.t.Qbe comments: And now they're pushing Linux!

The Master comments: A sensible move, considering they get to write off massive amounts of development monies for software being written on the "outside". Convenient, isn't it?

A.T. Hun comments: Ballmer keeps finding new and improved ways of making a complete jackass of himself.

J.t.Qbe comments: billg has already filled his quota, so now Balldy has to take over. . .
