I made my choice just as you did. It's fine if you want to make some sort of value judgement but there is no right or wrong here. That is, not unless you have entitlement issues.

Yep, it's like the local hate radio station. One of their most common self-promo pieces goes along the lines of: #1 in local news, with the awards to prove it!

From: Mayayana on 25 May 2010 09:42 | What do you mean by "entitlement issues"? Entitlement | to what? And specifically what "issues" are you referring to? | That may be an Americanism. It's psycotherapy lingo -- an attempt to provide an official-style diagnositic term to replace "spoiled". (Spoiled impies a value judgement, which has been a no-no across the board ever since Deconstructionism collided with modern society and produced a nihilistic free-for-all.) Combine that politically correct gobbledygook with what comes out of MS -- technical language run through a marketing filter -- and you're *really* in for a bumpy ride. So Paul is saying that there is no right and wrong where personal gain is concerned, and that you're probably just a spoiled brat. ?? ...Of course Paul has never been famous for his cogent arguments. He just pushes buttons willy nilly, hoping against hope that he's making a good point. Note that Paul said, "It's fine if you want to make a value judgement. There's no right or wrong here." That's a passive-aggressive accusation in PC-speak. It's never fine to make a value judgement in PC-ville. In the nihilistic, comfort-seeking, post-modern world, the only sin is restricting the consumer activities of others, or otherwise relating to them in an uninvited manner. Paul doesn't need to assess the morality of Microsoft's actions -- or of his own. Having any moral perception at all is merely a lifestyle choice. (I guess that's what one might refer to as "existential entitlement issues". :)
