    Expsensive and bloated. An OS that requires a gig of memory? Does Microsoft even know what an OS is. The OS is suppose to be the middle man between user and hardware and that is it. I guess Microsoft thinks they know better. No wonder there are so many viruses with it's products. They leave to much room for people to enter.

    I'm pretty sure there's a movement called "show the code" or something like that. The idea is to get MS to show what code it has that Linux ripped off.

    The idea is great actually. If MS shows what code it thinks got ripped off, it will essentially be opening it's code to outside viewers.

    It's akin to Guantanamo detainees asking what proof the US government has against them.

    "We know you did it, but if we tell you how we know, you'll use that against us"

    Actually if Microsoft shows what codes was stolen the Open Source can alter the code and make totally legal for them to use. It is legal to alter the code so as not to infringe on others patents. Which is why if and I do emphasize if the Open Source has Microsoft's code they can alter it and use it legally.
