- shrewduser, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3Does anyone else think with all these internal documents that have been released via the recent anti trust court case there will be an increased animosity towards Microsoft from the rest of the industry? i mean Microsoft have basically been shown to be as bad/evil as the most extreme apple/linux fanboy says they are....

It's a hot torrent. - demonsofgoetia, on 10/12/2007, -4/+3Educate yourself on the history of Microsoft before buying any additional products from them:
"A List of Microsoft Litigation"

KNOW who/what you're supporting before you spend money on a particular company's products/services. - CurtHowland, on 10/12/2007, -4/+2"Does anyone else think with all these internal documents that have been released..."
I really thought that the "Halloween Documents" were bad enough to have made anything more just icing on the cake:

It's not like anyone would have ever said Microsoft were paragons of virtue.
Neither would I say that I would have done much different in their position. F/OSS is the Microsoft _killer_! Organisms reaction _violently_ to the threat of death, even corporate organizations.
Ok, yes, I would have. I would have written MS Office'97 for Linux, given up on Windows except maybe writing what is now WINE (and _selling_ it), and so completely cornered the market in office productivity software that there wouldn't even be an OpenOffice.org now.
I would have gone the IBM route and sold service and support regardless of OS platform, and made lots more money by being _NICE_ to people and actually helping them get work done instead of trying to shackle them into proprietary everything.
...But that's just me. I'm no $billionare. Of course, neither are more than 50,000 Microsoft employees.
