Run That By Me Again
Over at InformationWeek Daily, Alice LaPlante drops in on Microsoft's PR to add 15 minutes of infamy to MS's aging celebrity. Lamenting the news that the new Microsoft website enhances the fun for Explorer users and disses Firefox users, her excerpt of the Microsoft "12 Tenets" for ethical business conduct calls up this item :
Computer manufacturers and customers are free to add any software to PCs that run Windows. More broadly, every computer manufacturer and customer is free to install and promote any operating system, any application, and any Web service on PCs that run Windows. Ultimately, end users are free to choose which software they prefer to use.
Is there a lawyer in the house, or can we just pick someone from the fast readers' group? Does the paragraph above actually say anything that promises other manufacturers or customers the ability to use other stuff on the PC while the PC is actually running Windows?
