Can Germans do anything anymore?

Motorola wins ban on Xbox and Windows 7 products! Previously it's been iPads and iPhones, Samsung Galaxy Tabs and goodness knows what else.

What else can't they have? :hmmm:

Well they can live without Internet Explorer and Windows Media Player.

Herr-Berbunch 05-02-12 09:52 AM

Yes, and I do that everyday, and without an Xbox, too. But Windows 7??? :nope:

Surely this contravenes some EU policy!

This is really disturbing ..
From graphic user interface to Windows 8, from SQL server to Exchange, was there anything that Mickeysoft did not steal from someone ?
Was there any sue ever successful, in history ?

We will then use the old Hollerith cards or Konrad Zuse's computers, it is almost as practical as Windows 8 :O:

It's a conspiracy. Motorola is a strawman payed by Microsoft, to get a ban of Windows 7 and by that make people move to Windows 8 - which else most likely becomes a big fail. Google wanted to prevent that by buying Motorola, so to make its big rival Microsoft loose much money from Windows 8.

:88)

It's Google Streetfight, so to speak.

:o

Both.:D
Though I practically didn't use the cassettes as the loading time was beyond good and evil (the floppies were already slow enough).
