Cool very goodnews for MS!

Microsoft Vs Sony - the smart money would always favour M$. Global domination has always been there goal. Who could refuse, eh?!

I have to say, i would hate being in a world ruled by M$, no open standards onl,ine, youd have to use IE, and there would be no other OSs.
Horrible thought

So caspar, you want to live in a world owned by MicroSoft Corp?

Anyway its m$ that are against standards, they make it say only they know them, unlike open standards, which are open for any one to use. (duh)

Strange, thought M$ were told in court recently to give other company's access to the windows standards.

But that's 400,000 sold to retail, not to customers, remember.

Although Nokia hates this comparison, the Game Boy Advance continues to sell incredibly well in the UK, selling at a ratio of over 50 to one more than N-Gage, and increasing its performance on last week by another 25 per cent.

Poor Nokia! Like they had a chance
