NY Senator wants XP's release delayed

NY Senator wants XP's release delayed and The Register writes a somewhat humourous article about it (as usual). Excerpt: "It appears that Microsoft intends to maximize its monopolistic power, using XP as a platform to enter new lines of business while encumbering competitors," Schumer said, rooting deep into the 'I just sussed out Redmond's business strategy; let's arrange a press conference' archive.

XP issues aside, Schumer has about as much insight into software issues Like a Bedouin in Antarctia. In other words, he is a politician - stick to politics, pinhead.

And yeah, I voted for him. I do not regret it either. I just have to do the Spock one-eyebrow-up thing when I read stuff like this.

Chuckie Baby, stick to your original platform. You'll be just fahn.

Thanks for the link DyRE!
