What's wrong with corporations?
Seriously, first there was the bit about
Apple chewing out Real because Real made the iPod more useful, now
Microsoft put the clamps on SP2torrent.com. For those not in the know, SP2Torrent.com was a site that hosted the Windows XP SP2 patch quickly and easily over BitTorrent, since Microsoft's servers were only able to let 200 people download it per day or something. Seems that providing a free service that helps out Microsoft's users is not to be tolerated however, and if anyone's going to to
anything to the "Micro-serfs" it's going to be Bill's team that does it.
And you wonder why people just do favours for others anymore...
