MS loses patent appeal; Word and Office to be barred from sale starting January 11th - Polidicks

This is what Bittorrent is for Fuck...I'm sorry mods :frown: [highlight](User was banned for this post ("Hinting at piracy / Page stretching" - Jaanus))[/highlight]

Just when I was looking forward to Office 2010...

This is why software copyrights can get absurd

[QUOTE=radioactive;19128411]Open Office is better anyway, so no problem there.[/QUOTE] you're just saying that because you're too poor for the real thing

Haha, that's hilarious, I love it.

[QUOTE=CaptainObvious1;19132074]This is what Bittorrent is for [/QUOTE] Where do you find the text editor? At least there is none in uTorrent...

[QUOTE=G71tc4;19129145]What bull.[/QUOTE] Shit.

Update [quote]microsoft says it's moving quickly to prepare versions of office 2007 and word 2007 that don't have the "little-used" xml features for sale by january 11, and that the office 2010 beta "does not contain the technology covered by the injunction," which can be read in a number of ways. It's also considering an appeal, so we'll see what happens next. [/quote]

[QUOTE=thisispain;19128386]Open Office is much more easy to use anyway. you can take your disagrees and sodomize yourself with them[/QUOTE] It is, but it cost me a Geography GCSE when the report wouldn't print out normally but landscape instead.

I knew MS couldn't bear not making money off poorly coded software for one minute, so they make versions without this stupid thing, even though anyone who isn't stupid just uses open office or wordpad or even notepad..

[QUOTE=thisispain;19128386]Open Office is much more easy to use anyway. you can take your disagrees and sodomize yourself with them[/QUOTE] Only thing is, most people and school and offices use Word and you can't print open office on those computer. (At least the last time I checked you couldn't.)

Only the inept computer users actually use word processors. [editline]12:15AM[/editline] I have a computer job, and I never use Office or even Open Office. [editline]12:17AM[/editline] [QUOTE=Legend286;19134326]notepad..[/QUOTE] Fucking CR+LF line endings. :argh:

I'm still using MS Word from 2003. Just as good in my opinion.

I use Office 2000. It's old but it still gets the job done. [editline]11:27PM[/editline] Also, they're updating 2007 to remove the xml feature and they're not including it on 2010, if you didn't read the post that's located on the first page.

Everyone does.

XML algorithms. Hilarious.

this doesnt affect me i use notepad++ for everything because i can code and type up other shit in it dont give a fuck

[QUOTE=Soviet Beef;19145059]this doesnt affect me i use notepad++ for everything because i can code and type up other shit in it dont give a fuck[/QUOTE] Word and N++ aren't meant to do the same thing.

Software patents are fucking stupid. I understand that they may be stealing some code, but fuck it they truly prevent innovation.

[QUOTE=Panda X;19145071]Word and N++ aren't meant to do the same thing.[/QUOTE] word just has a bunch of stuff i dont need, for instance i dont need to embed my funny cat pics into my essay or w/e people use word for i dont fucking know

[QUOTE=Soviet Beef;19145098]word just has a bunch of stuff i dont need, for instance i dont need to embed my funny cat pics into my essay or w/e people use word for i dont fucking know[/QUOTE] I used Word because it helps me format my essays/papers properly.

[QUOTE=Soviet Beef;19145098]word just has a bunch of stuff i dont need, for instance i dont need to embed my funny cat pics into my essay or w/e people use word for i dont fucking know[/QUOTE] For fuck's sake, word isn't for coding, ignoramus.

They aren't barred from selling it beginning January 11th, the new version comes out on the 11th.

It's funny how Microsoft vows to fight piracy, when they themselves do it, apparently all the time. Does this case bring the below movie to mind for anyone else? [img]http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q30/daplon/Antitrust.jpg[/img]

Never even heard of this company... Oh well, now they have negative attention. Office is one of the few software I like from MS.

This is what happens when people find a way to milk money out of a massive corporation. It's complete bullshit! The only reason I say this is because I need the programs for school, if I didn't i'd be making witty comments too. But I can't think of any. :frown:

No more .docx? Yay!
