- DarkPilot, on 10/12/2007, -3/+29Buy Apple, Jobs needs a new turtleneck.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -8/+25My company duties require me to save money first... the country comes second or maybe a distant third.
- Otto, on 10/12/2007, -1/+17No, he's correct. There's also hating the RIAA.
- goat2, on 10/12/2007, -12/+28Buy Apple, it's your fanboy duty.

- digismack, on 10/12/2007, -3/+14You all forgot...
7. ...
8. Profit!!!! - RadiantBeing, on 10/12/2007, -5/+14This reminds me of the phrase "Lie back and think of England."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lie_back_and_think_of_England - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -5/+12Next MSFT marketing tactic:
Buy exchange server or we'll drown this puppy!
It's almost that bad now. If you're a big enough customer you might even get a dose of strong arm from the monkey dancing, chair throwing CEO himself. The author was right, it reeks of desperation. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -6/+13I see Microsoft brainwashed you already. either that or you are a sheep
- Popdmb, on 10/12/2007, -15/+22If you're not supporting Microsoft, you're supporting the terrorists.
- rstevens, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8Buy Microsoft Software and a portion of all sales go towards the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
Then again, you could save your money and use Linux, then donate to your favorite charity and get a tax rebate! - rstevens, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7Reward the entrepreneur. Use Linux--secure, easy and fun!
- drlha, on 10/12/2007, -8/+13It would only be the same if that advice were being given to girls about to sleep with American GIs.
Since when was buying American good for the British economy? - Complexium, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6Hah! Couldn't care less - I live in Norway and I don't care about what Microsoft says about my duty to do any thing. Several places in my country, i.e. schools and governmental places have immigrated to the open source world of Linux.

It's a little off-topic, but I think you cannot generalize what's important. There are some situations where you should first think of yourself, while in other situations it's probably more moral to think "bigger" (eg. entire humanity). I do not consider myself an egoist, but very often it's absolutely ridiculous and stupid to do "everything for the fatherland". - Casedot, on 10/12/2007, -6/+10nice use of the word "gallimaufry "
*golf clap* - realyst, on 10/12/2007, -10/+14Buy Apple...so we can make fun of you.
- cresswga, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5For a minute I was impressed that a digg user had used the word 'gallimaufry' in their description.
Then I found out it was just pasted from the article. - oxyrubber, on 10/12/2007, -5/+7@naio21
It would help to read the article summary and the article before commenting/responding... - macewan, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5@bgbs, are you retarded or just trying to make a joke?
- bshock, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2So if "buying Microsoft" is patriotic for British citizens, does that mean that it's treasonous for U.S. citizens?
- MonkeyMCSE, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3@bgbs
Then you apparently don;t work in the IT field. More and more companies are implementing some form of linux anymore. In a months span I've replaced Windows file servers with linux and BSD server and quite a few of my clients. The internal web servers are being pushed to linux/apache for a few, and alot of older secretarial PC's are being replaced with linux machines to do basic word processing and billing. Just because you are blind doesn't mean business doesn't use it, but thats right YOU don't have business sense. Business is about spending as little money as possible to get profit in, if thats windows so be it, but if a company can use linux in a situation where they no longer need to purchase a new PC, now windows license, etc, thats good business sense, if it gets the job done. You should learn that not everything revolves around MS, you might grow up and open your eyes to new possibilities. Just because it doesn't work for you doesn't mean it DOES work for millions of others.
Stay closed minded and keep inhaling the MS PR smoke, one day you'll end up living in mommies basement too, comes with a complete lack of business intelligence you show in your posts. - Stonekeeper, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2liar
- KamikazeeDriver, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3"If you're not supporting Microsoft, you're supporting the terrorists."
HAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAH
that made my day!
lovely sarcasm - freff, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1@Pelapp
Personally, I'm wary and suspicious of Microsoft. I actively hate Sony.
At least that's where I've drawn the line in the sand for my buying habits. - miker71, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1This is all I have to say

Any questions??? - Budman21901, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I was just at my local Beer store i frequent every wednsday picking up a six pack. They had some guy working on the registers there with "Business solutions" printed on his shirt. There looked to be a old 486 on the floor, waiting to be taken out. I told the PC guy if you would have used Linux, you wouldn't have these problems. He looked at me and laughed. I said why you laughing, if not a OS problem. He said its a simple program issue. I ask him if "Business Solutions" wrote the program, and he said yes. I said then which is it? A program issue, or a OS issue? I ask if it's a program issue then why is the old system on the floor to be taken out? Are you upgrading? He wouldn't answer. I ask are you charging for this upgrade? I was escorted out of the store upon his request..
- Nohbudy, on 10/12/2007, -11/+11I am apparently a good citizen.
1. Buy Vista
2. Download IE7 on all my computers, and computers for work.
3. Throw away all my current computers, so i can replace them with "Vista Ready"
4. Replace my copies of OpenOffice.org with Office 2007
5. Buy a Microsoft T-shirt!
6. Self - CanceledCzech, on 10/12/2007, -6/+7Ha, reminds me of 1984; Anti-Sex League.
- JonForTheWin, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1I'd rather support al-CIAda.
- truck87bp, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1sorry, wrong digg.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Microsoft wont be the first to mix nationalism with PR; "Buy American!" was a highly successful PR campaign for, I think, GM?, and "Buy British!" is a current and quite successful PR campaign from the UK National Farmers Association.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1duty to keep a destructive(for every other company) monopoly.
riiight. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1no one is going to buy M$, everybody will by new 64bit PC that will have M$ installed on it.
- positron, on 10/12/2007, -5/+3"Dude... like WHAT?"
Holy crap... Shaggy from Scooby Doo is alive, and well, and commenting on digg! - nufoto, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0Wow sounds desperate! The hunger for money and power! Say anything just to keep the empire alive! Whats next Ubuntu CD burning iMac Smashing? Burn the Evil witch's!
Long live the WGA!!! For God and Country! - Budman21901, on 10/12/2007, -7/+5I suggest everyone buy Vista. It keeps my secondary cash rolling in. If people change to Linux there will be nothing for me to fix. I run Linux, but do as i say, and not as i do!
- simondotcalvin, on 10/12/2007, -11/+8this is possibly the dumbest conversation I have ever seen on digg.
- MonkeyMCSE, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1@bgbs
scratch that, after reading down after the reply to you, it will go on deaf ears, you're simply an idiot through and through. - inkubux, on 10/12/2007, -9/+5Never
- crawfishsoul, on 10/12/2007, -9/+5Only reason I came in here was to say exactly what casedot said.
*For the rest of the week, my goal is to work 'gallimaufry' into a conversation. - Pelapp, on 10/12/2007, -5/+1Please someone help me out!
Since this is about Microsoft Windows, then I hate Microsoft right ? But if its news about PS3, then I love Microsoft (XBOX 360)
Wauw. This is really confusing! Am I getting it right ? - bias, on 10/12/2007, -5/+1are you guys really that fxxking stupid? this is called "Marketing", of course they have to say those stuff. do you expect they tell you that their product can't help your busines in anyway?
you fanboys are retarded. - kylesellers, on 10/12/2007, -24/+19Buy Apple, it's your intellectual duty.
