[wplug] and this is why Microsoft disgusts me

[Vanco, Donald]

Classic C|Net flamebait - every UNIX vendor out there has licensed AT&T code
at some point - big deal, who cares...  This affects Linux no more than the
existence of Tru64, HP-UX, Slowlaris, etc.....

If Microsoft wants to crush Linux they need to make their OS as good as
their Marketing and PR departments.... and free :)
