Slashdot reports that "Micro$oft announced it is bringing Windows Media 9 to 177 screens in Landmark Theaters." An appropriate slew of crashing movies and blue screen comments is present in the discussion, as are many questions about why the hell this is even necessary. Oh yeah, I know the answer. As the image I borrowed from Slashdot points out, Bill Gates and M$ really is like Star Trek's Borg, assimilating everything in its path with the goal of having complete control over everything. Why the Supreme Court didn't put a stop to this years ago is beyond me...
