Sorry but if Microsoft breaks the law, whos fault is that?

Personally I would think, if Microsoft would demonstrate what happens if we don't play like they want, they may shoot themself.
Linux is getting stronger and better (the non/less-existant support from hardware vendors, is not the fault of the Linux community). I admit, both Microsoft and the Linux community have obviously copied from Apple, but you know, the whole GUI idea started out as copying concepts if you go back in the history.
Look at Compiz and the hardware requirements, just for one example. I don't get why Vista needs that specs Microsoft published, only for a OS!
