Do you remember if you bought memory between 1999 and 2002? If you did, bet you thought it was really expensive. A major memory price fixing conspiracy is currently undergoing settlement in the United States, in which nearly every major DRAM manufacturer has been implicated. The alleged price...

I have received emails telling me I can download and install a complete Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate operating System, complete with coa for less than $100.00.

Hi. I joined primarily to ask this single question. Is it possible to legally own a Windows 7 Ultimate version right now? I'm asking because I saw a PC in an on-line store, which had the Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit version installed. I am tempted to buy it, really, but I'm afraid I could get into...

It appears that Microsoft is going to play the pity card in their ongoing battle with i4i and the injunction against Microsoft's use of Custom XML which i4i holds the patent to. Microsoft is, perhaps with a somewhat less cocky attitude than they displayed during the recent proceedings, now...

Hi all I've a serious question here to any Laywers who might be reading these posts. We know this is an RC so it's not officially in production yet. What is the view / legal position you think Microsoft would take on Testing the RC in a "Productive" environment, or even in the "development"...
