From: Mayayana on 20 May 2010 09:19 | Sorry, I think of Microsoft in godlike terms. I don't put them in the same | Antichrist league as Google or Apple. I think MS has done way more good than | bad. Oh, boy. I'll resist writing a long essay and just gibe you two of the meatiest links that come to mind: The famous "Evangelism is War" http://www.groklaw.net/articlebasic.php?story=20071023002351958 or http://iowa.gotthefacts.org/011607/3000/PX03096.pdf Your opinion of MS is covered under "Generalized Evangelism Timeline" which describes such strategies as seducing ISVs (which are described as pawns), and buying off professional analysts/consultants. The Vista versions fiasco: http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601103&sid=aakoxXKmuWwU (The whole set of emails are out there somewhere, but I can't find a link at the moment.) Not that I think MS should be singled out as unique. But the problem is that they're very, very big. They pretty much own the Desktop. What Mike is pointing out is that major US companies have been allowed to exploit virtually without limit, because the US really has degenerated into plutocracy where laws are written by lobbyists, who are no more than legal couriers for massive bribes. | That said, I wish they'd make it easier for me to reinstall Windows in | customer machines when I have to replace hard drives or there is severe | corruption involving the drive. Few of my customers can locate their copy of | Windows -- assuming that the computer maker has even included a copy with the | computer! I think MS should require their resellers to package a real Windows | disk with each machine. | Ha! That's how they make a lot (most?) of their money -- by selling Windows to people who've already paid for Windows. So who's doing the "piracy"?

Besides being off-topic you don't seem to know much about the U.S. constitution from a legal perspective.

More anti-Microsoft spittle. There were no "heavy handed tactics" by Microsoft in this deal, especially since the USPF went with the Linux product. You're such an exaggerator Mike.
