this is untrue. Corporations aren’t unethical when they provide a service/product to willing customers and get paid to do so, that’s perfectly fine. It’s when government gets in the way by allowing some bad apples in corporations to become monopolistic. That’s why Free market capitalism says; usually monopolies are made THROUGH the state, which is what we’re seeing with Microsoft. It’s hard for companies to get a natural monopoly with only their services, usually they try to do it with the STATE, because the State is actually the biggest coercive monopoly, and it will co-operate with corporations who want to do the same.

if the State didn’t have a coercive monopolistic education system, this wouldn’t be happening

One doesn’t learn computer science. One is illiterate unless one learns Microsoft. Learns to speak and write Microsoft. It’s interesting that with the rise in marketshare of both Linux and MacOS they should choose exactly Microsoft. Poor students when go the marketplace find their recently learned Microsoft lingo doesn’t do them any good at all, because no one is using it for nothing important.

Who they are trying to fool. Politicians should be elected every year. So that they couldn’t use their job of working for the people, to work for big corps.

Accountability and transparency. Those are other things that you get with opensource.

People at high places in public services use their positions to stuff their pockets.

KICK THEM OUT!
