ms on the offensive again

[John McGregor]

In the article I read, it was stated that the new MS offering would only
work on older hardware and that it would refuse to install if it
encountered a P4, Athlon, Semptron et al. This is another case of Gates
and his band of merry men shooting themselves in the foot by providing a
major selling point to Linux. IE Why buy crippled software that won't
let you upgrade your machine, when you can get a state of the art OS for
free. I would imagine that a distro like Mandriva, that already has a
major presence in Latin America, is rubbing its hand in glee at the
prospect.
