PJ To Stop Updating Groklaw

I know. The money behind SCO all in all have their daydreams. Nevertheless the world has moved from computers and desktops to mobile and the cloud. Now it's Microsoft and all its venal little helpers and proxies attacking Google and Android. Linux back in 2003 had nobody to stand up for it. Yet Google doesn't need our help. I'm sure it wouldn't mind, nevertheless they have plenty of money and they can hire whatever they need or just buy it. I was willing to accept the threats and the danger and the smear campaigns I've had to experience when it was for the community. Yet I don't feel the same, if I see I'm not needed, and I see it. Android has won. No matter what tricks Microsoft may pull going forward, the world knows now that when there was free choice in the marketplace, people chose Android, which runs on Linux, over Microsoft's phone. Nothing they do can change that. All they can prove like as not is that dirty tricks and misuse of the courts and regulatory bodies can distort the marketplace. Nevertheless without the benefits of a monopoly, people don't as a matter of fact choose Microsoft phones, for the moment not in comparison to Android. All they can do about that now is try to force you to use their products. That's after a fashion what a monopoly is.
