Legal Notice to Microsoft Software Purchasers

anonymous

"Microsoft denies the claims and says it developed and sold high quality and innovative
software products at fair and reasonable prices"

People who may have received notice by mail or the Internet about a Court-ordered class
action notice are doing exactly what Microsoft wants, if they participate.

Some people claim that Microsoft has "unfairly" sold software that has not been developed
or innovated by Microsoft. Any win or lose will result in setting legal precedence that
will aid Microsoft to deny the actual basis of SOFTWARE DEVELOPER claims, that some
SOFTWARE DEVELOPERS have not been compensated fairly for the software development and
innovations that were not the property of Microsoft for sale. The claim that Microsoft
unfairly sold 'development and innovations' property MUST address those SOFTWARE DEVELOPERS
who's property has been 'unfairly' sold.

If you are one of the SOFTWARE DEVELOPER who's property has been 'unfairly' sold, you may be
entitled to the vast majority of any monetary received from Microsoft, BUT A MUCH GREATER
COMPENSATION MAYBE EXCUDED BY THIS CLAIM. For example, the many SOFTWARE DEVELOPERS who
developed innovations of imaging related software included with Window 95 and 98. SOFTWARE
DEVELOPERS must stop any claim made by Zelle, Hofmann, Voelbel, Mason & Gette LLP, P.O.
Box 582628, Minneapolis, MN 55458-2628. ( www.mnsoftwaresuit.com ) I realize that
national and local media business may have censored SOFTWARE DEVELOPER claims, this may be
an implied attempt by Microsoft for 'prior' legal precedence and is related to SOFTWARE
DEVELOPER claim(s).

Microsoft appears to be stopping SOFTWARE DEVELOPERS from claiming their software work and
'development and innovation' of software has been 'unfairly' sold. Irrelevant of win or
lose, this class action may affect SOFTWARE DEVELOPERS, whose software 'developments and
innovations' have been 'unfairly' sold by Microsoft. If SOFTWARE DEVELOPERS do not stop
this class action, or any similar class action, then YOUR rights for 'fair' compensation
of 'development and innovations' may be affected.

This claim and any similar claim may affect SOFTWARE DEVELOPER rights /prior/.
YOU MAY GUESS THE TOTAL AMOUNT IS UNFAIR COMPENSATION FOR SOFTWARE DEVELOPERS.

Legal or Scam??

Lately I've been getting lots of spam, selling cheap software. The website was oemsoftwarehouse.com. They supposedly were selling oem software of Borland's Delphi and Microsoft's Visual Studio. They said it was only $60 for Delphi 7 Enterprise, but Borland sells it for over $2,500 USD! I don't know the cost of Visual Studo, but the website was offering it for $130 USD. Generally, if it sounds too good to be true, it isn't. Is there such a...

MIT License: How is it "permissive" with the "Permission Notice" requirement?

Something in my gut tells me this is an FAQ, but my furious Googling thus-far hasn't found the answer (Biggest problem? The terms I'm looking for are in the license itself. Search, and... get... 50 copies of the license. Great.) I've heard it said that the MIT license is one of the most permissive licenses, and that it allows a person to put MIT-licensed code into proprietary works (with the proper attribution). However, I don't understand...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
