Poor Microsoft
That’s a lot of opposition. Microsoft’s a large corporation. Do you oppose large corporations? The history of taking advantage of patents? Misusing its monopoly status? Its outsourcing of American jobs? The fact that it competes with other software vendors? Its recent contributions to the Free Software world? Its market dominance? Its choice of logo colors? The poor support for CSS 2 in IE 6?
You forget to ask so many things. How about:
- Do you oppose bribery?
- Do you oppose financial fraud?
- Do you oppose tax evasion?
- Do you oppose supporting the death of poor children in Africa?
- Do you oppose illegal dumping of goods to starve competitors?
- Do you oppose outright sabotage of a competitors' technology?
- Do you oppose blackmailing?
- Do you oppose buying laws overseas to harm the local people?
- Do you oppose fishing a competitors' workforce only to cause their destruction?
- Do you oppose collusion?
- Do you oppose false advertising?
- Do you oppose funding companies to sue competitors?
- Do you oppose bullying professors for for their honest assessment of a technology?
- Do you oppose smear campaigns against volunteer advocates of a technology that's not yours?
- Do you oppose embezzlement?
- Do you oppose overthrowing CIOs (to have them replaced by cronies)?
- Do you oppose "planting" articles in the press?
- Do you oppose bribing professors?
- Do you oppose treating kids like a drug addicts, by own admission?
- Do you oppose setting up AstroTurf Web sites?
- Do you oppose polluting forums and newsgroups using undercover agents? (violation of EU laws)
- Do you oppose crashing competitor's parties?
- Do you oppose liaising with the Bush regime to intrude the computer of each person?
