I switched to Linux shortly after I installed windows 8.
Other than these two nits, I am loving life on Ubuntu now.
iTunes --> banshee
was rough at first. but it's better now. (as much as I hate
Apple, iTunes was better at organizing media than any other
app I've seen/used)
quicken
has no replacement yet (I just bought 2013 and is not
compatible with Wine yet)

I'd think that given that it could potentially destroy any third-party
software on Windows, Microsoft would react via giving some sort of global
license to reassure people. (Probably they'd make sure they didn't leave any
loopholes for themselves either; if anyone found one, it'd be pretty disastrous
for them, and people would be sure to look.) [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

I don't think that third-party software that USES the API
is
a
risk.
Oracle aren't arguing that nobody can write Java
programs that use their API.
They're arguing that nobody can
write a compatible system that implements the
same API.
The biggest risk here will be to Wine, which emulates the
Windows APIs. If Oracle win then Microsoft can shut Wine
down
completely,
which of course makes it a lot harder to break
out
of the Windows
ecosystem. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
