Re: [OT] Did you try ReactOS?

Well, in fairness, it isn't like Microsoft hasn't been guilty of exactly the
same thing in their past, Berkeley pipes come to mind.

Correct, and was punished by the court each time.

IIRC the largest penalties by the court imposed on MS were due to _OEM
agreements_ and not due to idea borrowing.

Maybe "Berkeley sockets" and not "Berkeley pipes"? Pipes in NT are very
different from UNIXen.
