So, Mr. Ballmer's organization donates $400k in 'marketing funds' to a Nigerian organization to install Windows on an already-ordered batch of Intel Classmate PCs that ship with the Mandriva OS on them...
I wonder if Mr. Ballmer careful checked on the organization before he sent off his money: MR STEVE BALLMER: BLESSINGS UPON YOU, MR BALLMER. MY NAME IS JOE ABACHA THE SOLE SURVIVING CHILD OF OUR RECENTLY DEPARTED DICTOATOR SONNY ABACHA. I HAVE BEEN TOL TO SEEK YOU OUT AS YOU ARE A GENEROUS MAN. I HAVE ELEVEN THOUSAND COPIES OF WINDOWS XP THAT I WILL GLADLY INSTALL ON OUR RECENTLY ORDERED COMPUTERS AND PAY YOU SIZTY BILLION DOLLARS FOR THE PRIVILEGE. I ONLY NEED YOUR BANKING INFORMATION IN ORDER TO MAKE A TEST TRANSFER TO CONFIRM YOUR BANKING PARTICULARS... The Register has what they claim to be the real story... http://www.channelregister.co.uk/2007/11/09/nigerian_government_agency_wants_mandriva_for_disputed_school_pcs/ _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
