May Microsoft dominate the software market, the hardware and
entertainment markets, too: With the help from those being able to
port ppc Linux to Xbox nobody will hopefully ever "dominate" the
Operating System I'm running on Xbox 360.
I didn't switch from W'98 to Linux a few years ago because I was
afraid of "Microsoft's world domination", or similar crap, but simply
because I needed good software that Microsoft, AFAICS, was unable to
provide.
I'm not boycotting Microsoft. I never did. Boycotts, if my memory
serves me well, were something that the German Nazis were practising
when they were trying to get Jews out of business, before they killed
them (" "Deutsche, kauft nicht beim Juden" -- Germans, don't buy from
Jews"):
A little report on that [in German, sorry ..]:
<http://www.welt.de/data/2003/04/01/61430.html>
So Lee, or whoever, by suggesting to boycott Microsoft: Is this really
the neighborhood you want to live in? I don't hope so ...
My question again:
Anyone willing or able to port ppc Linux to Big Satan's Xbox 360?
Best Regards
Wolfgang
