The real shame is that the entire world doesn't yet understand how detrimental Microsoft is to the tech industry, innovation, and freedom.
Microsoft destroys innovative products by pushing it's own knockoffs through its OS monopoly.
Microsoft stifles competition by leveraging its OS monopoly, and through backroom government deals.
Microsoft is unable to compete on an even playing field, it spreads fear and terror to create distrust of alternatives.
Microsoft is unable to compete on an even playing field, it perpetuates its monopoly through OEM preloads to the gullible consumer.
Microsoft poisons open standards and protocols. They have been convicted of this in US federal court!
Microsoft software tends to suck.
If people don't see the harm in all that, then you might as well all go shoot yourselves now, because over the next few decades such monopolists will enthrone themselves as your masters, and then you will be slaves. There will be no open market, no capitalism, it will be a global Oligarchy, a fascist empire of robber barons that control information, culture, and commerce. - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+0Useless FUD blogspam.
