Courts and Judges are positively clueless about the software
world and to call them 'experts' is absurd.
And apparently David Maynard is clueless about how justice works.
Judges are good at judging and rely on expert witnesses.
I suppose you missed the fact that there are always 'expert
witnesses' on both sides of any case with directly opposing
'opinions' and in something as technically complex as an O.S.
there is no way for someone clueless about software to even grasp
the arguments, much less 'judge' which one is the better, assuming
there is such a thing as 'better' when it comes to 'opinions' on
what an O.S. should, or should not, have as it's components and
how it 'should' be structured.
I'm not surprised you have so much trouble with judgment,
considering how you struggle with using ordinary words in ordinary
contexts. That paragraph is a good illustration. You even question
the meaning of words in your own usage.
Judges don't have that problem.
An operating system should not have applications as it's components
if you want to promote competition among software developers. And if
you pretend to not know the difference between an operating system
and an application, you are just a liar. There is a gray area but
it's not that difficult to generally separate an operating system
from applications.
I smell a libertarian who believes everything the government does
is wrong (unless it agrees with his opinion).
Wrong, as usual.
Silly, as usual.
But in fact if it weren't for our government every day deciding
in Microsoft's favor and using our police with guns to physically
inforce Microsoft's will, Microsoft would fall apart like a
playing card house. Put that in your Microsoft defending
libertarian fantasy land.
Nice piece of schizoid logic you got there
You are a Microsoft defender troll wearing very big blinders.
with the government
simultaneously condemning Microsoft for being, as you call it, a
'monopoly', yet 'protecting' them.
Our justice system is getting hundreds of millions of dollars a year
from Microsoft.
