Daniel, license for the photo is actually something important. There’s no photo of Geir in Wikipedia yet, a high resolution free as in speech version of this one would be really aprecciated.

Nice double standards there, Jackson!

Fact: Microsoft filed an antitrust complaint, just like Opera. Amusingly, this antitrust complaint is likely to be thrown out in the EU as well. It was already thrown out in the US.

Opera’s complaint is more likely to go through since there is precedent for this kind of thing.

You stopped using Opera because they filed an antitrust complaint in the EU which might just go through, but you will continue to use Windows despite Microsoft’s double antitrust complaint both in the US and EU?

Again, nice double standards!

Jackson: What is the difference? Didn’t bundle the browser with the OS give MS the power to ignore standards etc?

*sniff sniff* Smells like double standards..

The merger would give Google too much marketing power.
I am opposed to it without Microsoft’s complaint. Everyone should be.

No double standard here.
And herein lies your last unjustified insult.
I am deleting this feed.

Except Microsoft’s argument is that the merger would give Google too much market power.

Funny how people justify their own double standards, isn’t it?

That was D I C K Tracy of course, the famous detective.
I would not want to be falsely accused of bad language too because of a blog filter.

X3,
You are wrong, **** Tracy. I do not use Windows.
And I did not spoof my user agent.

My posts were made on my corporation’s system which does use Windows.
I cannot prevent that but I did persuade them not to upgrade to Vista.
My systems are Linux and Mac. I built the Linux myself to avoid Windows.

I would not have abandoned Windows had I used it because of their complaint against Google however as your post equates with Opera’s complaint which it is not.

I happen to agree with Microsoft there. Their complaint is substantive unlike Opera’s against Microsoft which is frivolous. The merging of Double Clicks data base with Google’s raises great privacy concerns and should be prevented.

Jackson said:

I never said I used Windows.

Sure, sure. Of course you carefully spoofed your useragent just for this blog, because it would have blocked you otherwise!

Posted by “Jackson”, using Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.11 on Windows XP:

Opera has lost its luster for me after it filed its case against Microsoft.
I always rooted for Opera. Now I use Firefox.

But you still use Windows after Microsoft filed an antitrust complaint against Google last month? Interesting
