As an operating system for a dedicated, single purpose server this may be okay. As an operating system for mobile phones, this may one day be alright (when phones get about 12 cores). As an operating system for workstations and desktops, th

I just wish that their ruling was a little more broad and far reaching in its effect. For those like myself who believe in self-ownership this is a no brainer, and it would seem that people are recognizing the basics of self-ownership in th
