What a joke.

Jamie Zawinski is forever butthurt because Microsoft gave away a browser 
and hurt his company?

I didn't see the little whiner babbling about the revolting Wretched 
Richard Stallman, who said:

"We will give them the Free software so your non-free software willfail"


The petulant Stallman (and a few other FOSS ninnies) would decimate the 
commercial software industry if they had their way.  Erase several 
hundred thousands of jobs and $billions and $billions from the GDP all 
because they can't have your code.  What loons.
