Your hatred of Mircrosoft has truly blossomed into a full-fledged obsession. It's fun to watch :D. I agree on most of the point you brought up; I myself love Firefox much more than any other browser. I HATE NETSCAPE and IE! That is all... Dan you could right for some Linux/Firefox/anti-MS newspaper or newsgroup.

It's a well-known fact that the Mozilla-based browsers have had tabs for at least five years, perhaps more. The search bar has been around at least two years, from personal experience, and has been around even before I started using it. Therefore, I am a source, as well as <a rel="nofollow" href="http://mozilla.org/firefox/" rel="nofollow">Firefox's website</a>. The post primarily <em>concerns</em> dirty business, and not ethical problems between the OSS/Corporate barrier, so the links are all relevant, as well as the sources from the newspaper. @SR

Once you change something 30% it is now your own, people have been doing it for years. Does the name Alphonse Mucha ring a bell. He's a famous poster artist and people have been taking his art and making it their own for years. So I wouldn't look at Bill gates as Satan the ruler of Hell, merely look at him as one of those artists who took Alphonse Mucha's work and made it their own. He's not really doing anything wrong he's just being a smart buisiness man. I know you didn’t mean that M$ was literally stealing, but maybe you should’nt put that in your post because people might take it literally Possum your sources are stems of a tree, literally Microsoft isn’t stealing.

Thanks :) @SR
