Greedy Microsoft Pisses Away Another Entire Global Market

The global markets for digital signage are just now gaining momentum. Tens
of millions of display devices with LCD screens of all sizes are now
beginning to replace static posters, signs and picture frames converted into
passive or interactive development platforms.

Linux is free and Adobe just announced no more license and no royalties to
pay for the Flash player.

So what do these foolish greedy idiots from Microsoft pull? $90 per license
fee per
device?http://www.microsoft.com/windows/emb...d/default.mspx

This company has become so disconnected with reality it is stupefying.
