Why wait for micoshaft to 'steal' open source and sell it to you
at a profit. Just go get it directly free - starting with GNU/Linux LiveCDs

What's so funny? That MySQL uses a Microsoft tool to create its
installer?

Well, buying DOS for 50 grand from a small company in the same
city could be called stealing considering what profits it
generated for M$.

AFA the above thread, interesting. I don't use XP and I don't
know if there are any or much differences between what you guys
are talking about and the MSI installer - but I have a simple
rule - if a program requires MSI to install, I just delete it
and find a (usually better) alternative.
